Aion 2 Crafting Guide: Expert's Orichalcum Dagger

The Expert's Orichalcum Dagger is an essential intermediate weapon in the Orichalcum crafting line. It serves as the required base weapon for higher-tier crafts, including the Artisan's Orichalcum Dagger and ultimately the Ebony Dragon Lord Dagger. If gathering all the necessary materials feels overwhelming, you can always buy Aion 2 items from trusted marketplaces to skip the grind and focus on the endgame content.

This guide provides the exact recipe and acquisition methods for each required material.

1. Crafting Requirements

To craft the Expert's Orichalcum Dagger, you will need the following items:

Splendent Orichalcum Dagger x 1

Expert's Refining Stone x 5

Fine Orichalcum Ore x 6

Fine Odyle x 3

Skill Requirement: Expert-level Weaponsmithing (approximately 430 skill points)

Faction Restriction: Asmodian Only. Note that Elyos have an equivalent version with a different name.

2. Splendent Orichalcum Dagger (x1)

This is the base weapon required for the upgrade. You cannot craft the Expert's version without first obtaining a Splendent Orichalcum Dagger.

How to obtain:

Crafted through earlier tiers of the Orichalcum weapon line

Purchased from the marketplace (though crafted items typically appear at a markup)

3. Expert's Refining Stone (x5)

These refining agents are essential for the upgrade process. They are moderately rare but have several reliable acquisition methods.

How to obtain:

Leveling Alchemy: Leveling a character to Alchemy Professional 50 yields two stones per character

Event rewards: Some events (such as the Shugo Festival) reward these stones

Dungeon drops: Conquest dungeons have a chance to drop refining stones

Efficiency tip: If you have multiple character slots, leveling alt characters to Alchemy Professional 50 is an efficient way to farm these stones without relying on marketplace prices.

4. Fine Orichalcum Ore (x6)

This is a refined gathering material from Orichalcum nodes.

How to obtain:

Gathering: Requires gathering skill of approximately 250 to collect Orichalcum

Best farming location: Just outside the Besfer Refugee Camp, where an abundance of Orichalcum nodes can be found

Note: This area can get crowded since it is close to town and contains many useful materials.

5. Fine Odyle (x3)

Fine Odyle comes from gathering Odyle-infused resources or as drops from elemental-type enemies in high-level zones.

How to obtain:

Gathering Odyle-rich deposits in high-level zones

Drops from elemental-type enemies

6. Crafting Preparation Checklist

Before attempting to craft the Expert's Orichalcum Dagger, complete the following steps:

Confirm all materials are in the exact quantities listed

Ensure your Weaponsmithing skill is at Expert level (approximately 430 skill points)

Locate the correct crafting station (Expert-tier recipes require specific anvils)

Consider using crafting boost items if available on your server

7. The Crafting Process

The Expert's Orichalcum Dagger is obtained through the standard crafting interface, not random drops. To perform the craft:

Open your crafting window

Select the Expert's Orichalcum Dagger recipe (learned from a design scroll)

Place the Splendent Orichalcum Dagger as the base item

Add the required materials (Expert's Refining Stones, Fine Orichalcum Ore, Fine Odyle)

Execute the craft at the appropriate crafting station

Note: The Design: Expert Orichalcum Dagger is required to learn this recipe. These designs can typically be found from Expert-tier crafting vendors, drops from level-appropriate content, or marketplace purchases.

8. Progression Path

The Expert's Orichalcum Dagger is part of a larger weapon progression line:

Splendent Orichalcum Dagger → Expert's Orichalcum Dagger → Artisan's Splendent Orichalcum Dagger

The Artisan's version requires the Expert's dagger as a base material, plus Artisan's Refining Stones (5), Pure Orichalcum Ore (8), and Pure Odyle (4).

From there, the Artisan's Splendent Orichalcum Dagger is used as a material for the Ebony Dragon Lord Dagger, which requires three Artisan's daggers along with other rare materials.

9. Marketplace Alternative

For players who find farming certain materials too time-consuming, all components can be purchased through the marketplace using Kinah.

Typical cost considerations:

Expert's Refining Stones are usually the most expensive component due to their acquisition difficulty

Fine Orichalcum Ore is generally more affordable but can fluctuate based on server population and node competition

Summary

To craft the Expert's Orichalcum Dagger, you need one Splendent Orichalcum Dagger, five Expert's Refining Stones, six Fine Orichalcum Ore, and three Fine Odyle. If farming these materials feels too time-consuming, you can buy Aion 2 Kinah from MMOEXP to purchase everything you need directly from the marketplace and speed up your crafting progress.
