True Dragon Lord Greatsword Crafting Guide for Aion 2

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for crafting the True Dragon Lord Greatsword, a high-tier weapon requiring rare materials and sufficient crafting proficiency. Follow the instructions below to successfully craft this weapon. If you find yourself short on currency to purchase rare materials from the auction house, consider deciding to buy Aion 2 Kinah to streamline the process and avoid endless farming.

Required Materials

To craft the True Dragon Lord Greatsword, you will need the following items in precise quantities :

Material Breakdown and Acquisition

Artisan's Splendent Orichalcum Greatsword (x1)

This serves as the base weapon required for the upgrade craft. It is the foundation item that will be upgraded into the True Dragon Lord Greatsword .

How to obtain:

Craft it using a lower-tier recipe (starting from Expert's Splendent Orichalcum Greatsword) 

Purchase from the in-game market

Obtain through quest rewards where applicable

The Artisan's tier typically requires Master-level skill in Smithing .

Artisan's Ultimate Refining Stone (x5)

These are high-tier refining agents essential for the upgrade process . They represent the highest tier of refining stones available.

How to obtain:

Dismantling high-level gear 

Rewards from endgame instances 

Dropped from elite monsters and bosses in higher-level zones 

Crafted through high-tier Alchemy or Smithing disciplines 

Fine Thick Balaur Horn (x22)

These materials are dropped by Balaur enemies, powerful dragon-like creatures in high-level zones. The "Fine" and "Thick" designation indicates this is a higher-tier version of standard Balaur Horns .

How to obtain:

Defeat Balaur-type enemies in endgame dragon zones

Higher-level Balaur bosses have better drop rates for Fine-grade materials

Purchase from the market if available

Wrathful Mind (x10)

These are boss drops from specific "Wrathful" dragon bosses or instances . The "Mind" series typically has the lowest drop rate among Wrathful materials, making this a potential bottleneck for the recipe .

How to obtain:

Defeat Wrathful series bosses (likely in endgame dragon instances)

May require multiple runs due to lower drop rates compared to Wrathful Will and Wrathful Ego

Purchase from other players through the market

Radiant Orichalcum Ore (x12)

Radiant Orichalcum Ore is a tier above Pure Orichalcum Ore . While Pure Orichalcum Ore requires a gathering skill of 300, Radiant Orichalcum Ore likely requires gathering skill of 350 or higher .

How to obtain:

Mine from Orichalcum nodes in high-level zones

The area outside Besfer Refugee Camp remains a prime location for Orichalcum nodes, but Radiant quality ore may require deeper zones or specific node spawns 

Refining standard Orichalcum Ore at higher tiers (if the system allows)

Radiant Odyle (x7)

Radiant Odyle is the highest tier of Odyle material, following the progression from regular Odyle to Pure Odyle to Radiant Odyle.

How to obtain:

Gathered from specific nodes, often located near areas with high elemental concentration 

Dropped by certain monsters, particularly those associated with Odyle energy 

Crafted using the Alchemy discipline with lower-tier Odyle materials 

Prerequisites

Before attempting to craft the True Dragon Lord Greatsword, verify that you meet the following requirements:

Crafting Proficiency

Confirm that your Smithing proficiency meets the requirement for this recipe. The Dragon Lord tier is endgame content, likely requiring maximum or near-maximum crafting skill.

To increase proficiency:

Craft lower-tier items to earn crafting experience

Both success and failure grant experience toward proficiency

Higher proficiency improves success rates for advanced crafts 

Crafting Access

Access the crafting system through the Crafting Management interface, available from the main menu. Select the Smithing discipline from the Main Category section to filter for weapon upgrade recipes .

Step-by-Step Crafting Instructions

Step 1: Verify Crafting Proficiency

Before attempting the craft, confirm that your Smithing proficiency meets the requirement for the True Dragon Lord Greatsword recipe. If your proficiency is insufficient, craft lower-tier items to gain experience .

Step 2: Acquire the Artisan's Splendent Orichalcum Greatsword

Ensure one Artisan's Splendent Orichalcum Greatsword is in your inventory. This serves as the base item and will be consumed during the upgrade .

Step 3: Gather All Remaining Materials

Confirm you have all required materials in the exact quantities listed:

Step 4: Open Crafting Management Interface

Access the crafting menu from the game's main interface.

Step 5: Select Smithing Category

In the Main Category section, select Smithing to filter for weapon upgrade recipes .

Step 6: Locate the Recipe

Browse or search the Crafting Item List to find the True Dragon Lord Greatsword. The recipe will display:

Required crafting proficiency

Material list with quantities

Success rate (influenced by proficiency)

Combo chance with potential Combo result 

Step 7: Execute the Craft

Select Execute Craft to begin the crafting process. The Artisan's Splendent Orichalcum Greatsword will be consumed as part of the upgrade .

Step 8: Collect Results

Upon successful completion, you will receive the True Dragon Lord Greatsword, along with crafting experience toward your next proficiency level .

The Combo System

The Combo system provides an opportunity to obtain a superior weapon when crafting .

How Combo Works:

Combo Chance: Displays as a percentage in the crafting interface

Effect: Upon Combo activation, you receive an item one tier higher than the target item

Result: A successful Combo may yield an even higher-grade Greatsword than the standard True Dragon Lord Greatsword 

To maximize Combo opportunities:

Ensure your crafting proficiency meets or exceeds the recommended level

Consider using catalysts if available in the game

Multiple craft attempts increase the statistical chance of triggering Combo 

Material Farming Tips

Prioritize Wrathful Mind

The Wrathful Mind requirement is likely the most time-consuming material to obtain. It has the lowest drop rate among Wrathful series drops . Consider focusing your endgame instance runs on bosses that drop this material.

Radiant Ore Gathering Efficiency

If gathering Radiant Orichalcum Ore yourself, the area outside Besfer Refugee Camp is a known location for Orichalcum nodes . However, Radiant quality ore may require you to venture into deeper zones. Consider bringing gathering boost items if available.

Refining Stone Farming

If you have multiple characters, leveling them to Alchemy Professional 50 can yield refining stones as rewards . This method can supplement your Artisan's Ultimate Refining Stone supply across your account.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: Crafting proficiency too low

Solution: Craft lower-tier Orichalcum weapons to gain experience. Even failed crafts grant proficiency experience .

Issue: Missing Wrathful Mind

Solution: Focus on endgame dragon instances that drop Wrathful series materials. The "Mind" variant has the lowest drop rate, so multiple runs may be necessary .

Issue: Unable to find Radiant Odyle nodes

Solution: Check high-level zones with Odyle-rich deposits. Radiant Odyle may require the highest gathering skill tier. Consider purchasing from the market if available.
