Upgrade five weapon types to max level in Project Windless to unlock the Weapon Master achievement. Gather Iron Shards, Glimmering Dust, and rare components.
The Weapon Master Achievement is unlocked by fully upgrading five different weapon types to their maximum level. This requires significant resource gathering and strategic allocation of upgrade materials. Focus on weapons that complement your playstyle and offer diverse damage types.
Weapon Types and Upgrade Paths:
Each weapon type has a unique upgrade tree, typically requiring Iron Shards, Glimmering Dust, and specific rare components.
| Weapon Type | Example Weapon | Max Upgrade Level | Key Upgrade Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swords | Blade of the Zephyr | Level 5 | Iron Shards, Polished Steel, Dragon Scale |
| Axes | Stonecleaver Axe | Level 5 | Iron Shards, Obsidian Fragments, Troll Hide |
| Bows | Whisperwind Bow | Level 5 | Glimmering Dust, Elderwood, Griffin Feather |
| Staves | Arcane Scepter | Level 5 | Glimmering Dust, Runecrystal, Phoenix Tear |
| Daggers | Shadowfang Daggers | Level 5 | Iron Shards, Venom Sac, Shadow Silk |
| Greatswords | Colossus Blade | Level 5 | Iron Shards, Adamantite Ore, Ancient Core |
To efficiently gather materials:
- Iron Shards: Found commonly from defeated enemies in the Sunken Mines and Crimson Wastes.
- Glimmering Dust: Drops from magical creatures in the Whispering Woods and Celestial Peaks.
- Rare Components: These are often boss drops (e.g., Dragon Scale from the Ignis Dragon) or found in hidden chests in late-game areas like the Forgotten Citadel.
- Merchants: The merchant in Oakhaven Village occasionally sells common upgrade materials. The traveling merchant in the Shifting Sands sometimes has rare components.
Prioritize upgrading weapons that you use frequently. For example, if you favor melee combat, upgrade a Sword, Axe, and Greatsword. Then, choose two other types, perhaps a Bow and Daggers, to diversify your arsenal.
