Hand-to-Hand Trials

Sign in to edit

Hand-to-Hand Trials are divided into several categories:

  • Physical/Empyrean Trials reward either with a completed Empyrean weapon or weapons with specialized augments that improve their physical damage.
  • Elemental Trials reward weapons aligned to certain element/attribute pairs (fire yields str/attack, etc).
  • Weapon Skill Trials augment weapons specifically to improve the potency of weapon skills.
  • Mythic/Relic Trials upgrade Relic Weapons and Mythic Weapons past their level 75 forms to more powerful versions suitable to higher level content.

To begin a physical or empyrean trial, pick up a pair of Pugilists from the Splintery Chest in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-5) and trade it to the Magian Moogle to start the trials. If all you want is to learn Victory Smite via Kupofried's Hand-to-Hand Moogle Magic, pick up a pair of Dumuzis -1, instead. To begin Weapon Skill Trials, pick up a pair of Barracudas from the same chest.

To begin a Relic or Mythic trial, trade that weapon to the Magian Moogle.

All monsters are required to give experience points to count towards trial completion (excluding Notorious Monsters). You must be within experience point range to receive credit for the kill.

Physical/Empyrean Trials[]

Empyrean weapon and physical augment trials begin by obtaining a pair of 19327 Pugilists Exclusive from the Splintery Chest in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-5). The paths branch between a Level 99 19397 Verethragna AugmentedRareExclusive, a 19867 Dumuzis AugmentedRareExclusive (designed to grant the Empyrean Weapon Skill Victory Smite), or one of three augment paths for an Ursa Majors:

  • +DMG, Occasionally attacks twice
  • Occasionally attacks 2~4 times
  • +DMG, "Double Attack" +

The November 2013 Version Update introduced a shortcut to a completed Dumuzis which completely eliminates the VwNM grind otherwise required to reach that branch. A 20544 Dumuzis -1 Rare Exclusive is also available from the Splintery Chest, cutting a 14-step trial grind down to three to permanently learn Victory Smite.

There are two trials that apply Afterglow to the Verethragna, one from its level 99 form and one from its item level 119 form and they are listed here for the sake of completeness. The much cheaper way to get afterglow on your weapon is to have Oboro upgrade the 20486 Verethragna (119) RareExclusive to 20487 Verethragna (119-3) RareExclusive by trading him 10,000 Riftborn Boulders.

Elemental Trials[]

You start elemental trials the same way as Physical/Empyrean trials, but your path takes you through Trial 82: to obtain a pair of 19331 Cat's Claws AugmentedExclusive. Elemental trials split into eight augmentation routes, one for each element, and may require you defeat a certain number of monsters of a certain family or type during specific, naturally occuring weather (Scholar storms don't count), or a corresponding day of the week. Meeting weather conditions grants extra credit towards completion. Each augment path has 3 endpoints one directly affecting the wielders stats, one ehancing Automaton stats, and one to imbue your weapon with an Additional Effect that weakens enemies:

  • Fire: STR, Attack or Pet: Attack/Ranged Attack. Additional Effect: Weakens Attack
  • Wind: AGI, Evasion or Pet: Evasion. Additional Effect: Impairs Evasion
  • Lightning: DEX, Accuracy or Pet: Accuracy/Ranged Accuracy. Additional Effect: Lowers Accuracy
  • Light: CHR, Magic Evasion or Pet: Magic Evasion. Additional Effect: Lowers Magic Evasion
  • Ice: INT, Magic Attack Bonus or Pet: Magic Attack Bonus. Additional Effect: Lowers Magic Attack
  • Earth: VIT, Physical damage taken- or Pet: Physical damage taken-. Additional Effect: Weakens defense
  • Water: MND, Magic Defense Bonus or Pet: Magic Defense Bonus. Additional Effect: Lowers Magic Defense
  • Dark: MP, Magic Accuracy or Pet: Magic Accuracy. Additional Effect: Lowers Magic Accuracy

For ease of reading, the 8 paths are split into Light/Dark affiliated elements

Light-Aligned Path[]

Dark-Aligned Path[]

Weapon Skill Trials[]

Weapon Skill trials branch into three augment paths

  • Weapon Skill Damage
  • TP Bonus
  • Store TP

Relic/Mythic Trials[]

Once a Relic or Mythic weapon is Level 99 (or its afterglowed Level 99-2 form), it may be reforged to an item level 119 version by Oboro. Each weapon has two afterglow trials, one from its level 99 form and one from its item level 119 form, these trials are listed here for the sake of completeness. The much cheaper way to get afterglow on your weapon is to have Oboro upgrade your 119 weapon to its 119-3 form with 10,000 Plutons (for relics) or chunks of Beitetsu (for mythics)

Some families of monsters also give their name to their type, such as lizards, demons and birds. Others have different forms. To distinguish them, tags are added where needed:

  • T refers to a type. i.e. LizardsT, consisting of Lizards, Efts, Raptors, etc.
  • F refers to a family For example: LizardsF only involves Lizards, not Efts, Raptors or others of the same type.
  • JA refers to both juvenile and adult forms of the family. For example: Treants include Saplings, Wamouras include Wamouracampas.
