Walkthrough

• Talk to Zalsuhm when you're in possession and wielding your job specific Nyzul Weapon. Note that only the base level weapon is required, no upgrades or progress along the An Imperial Heist quest is required.

He will give you the following conversation:

Zalsuhm: ...?! That w-weapon which you bear--it's the very object I've been searching for! Ahee hee hee...Listen to me. Immense p-p-power is hidden within your (insert Nyzul Weapon name here). There's a trick to unlocking that power-- a t-t-trick which I happen to know. Ahee hee hee... Surely, you're interested into tapping into that power? It'll cost you not a single g-g-gil--I just need to be permitted to examine it, that's all. Yes, yes, trust is good for the soul. Now if you'll allow me, hee hee hee...

(A small cutscene where Zalsuhm will somewhat awaken your weapon)

Zalsuhm: The deed is done. The rest is up to you to wield it as you have thus far. An invisible, mystical energy resides within your weapon. I would explain the n-n-nature of this energy in more detail, but I fear it is beyond the comprehension of a layperson. Wh-what? You doubt my kn-kn-knowledge on the subject?! Hmph. I won't deny that the research is ongoing. I do know, however, that those who venture deeper within the Nyzul Isle develop g-g-greater affinity within these artifacts. So indeed, if you come to be in possession of a Runic Key, you can expect stupendous results. Note, though, that I have merely awakened your weapon from it's long s-s-slumber. You must, through usage, accumulate said energy to the point of saturation. With that accomplished, a m-m-most extraordinary evolution will take place. When that happens, bring the weapon to me. I promise it'll be a profitable v-v-venture for you...and yours truly, too. Ahee hee hee...

• Accumulate a certain number of Weapon Skill points on your Nyzul Weapon according to your Runic Disc or Runic Key.

Runic Key = 500 Weapon Skill points.
Runic Disc = 500 points + another 100 for every floor you are away from completing floor 100.
eg. Your Runic Disc is completed up to floor 90, that's 1500 Weapon Skill points. Floor 0 is 10,500 Weapon Skill Points needed.

• Once you have acquired enough Weapon Skill points, you will instantly be able to use your new weapon skill, but on your Nyzul Weapon only. It will simply appear in your list of weapon skills without any message in the chat log.

• Return and trade your unlocked weapon to Zalsuhm to allow the use of your new weapon skill on any weapon (of the same type, on that job).
• Prior to unlocking the weapon skill, returning to Zalsuhm and trading the weapon will provide a rough gauge on how far along you have progressed. As you get closer to unlocking the message, the message he gives you will progress.
  • I sense only a mote of energy present. You still have a long way to go.
  • I can feel a marked increase in energy compared to when I first held it. Keep up the good work.
  • The energy is threatening to burst forth. It won't be long now.
  • You've done it! Energy is overflowing as though the floodgates have burst open!
    • The fourth message only appears after the unlocking is complete, and is followed immediately unlocking the weapon skill completely.
