The ArcheAge team has posted a developer diary to give players a look at obsidian weapons that will be arriving in game with the release of the Secrets of Ayanad update. Players will be able to craft their own obsidian weapons, the how-to of which will be revealed in a series of quests to get the first one made.
Players will need to find a salvage weapon of the sort they wish to create and combine it with materials gained from Aurorian creatures. Doing so will create a "binds when equipped" tier one obsidian weapon which can be upgraded five more times to the penultimate creation. To attain the need materials for the final upgrade, players will have to fight library bosses and other ultimate monsters.
Learn more about the creative process on the ArcheAge site.
