The complete Season 4 weapon-tier system without an invented tier list.
Transcendent Weapons are the Season 4 top weapon tier and use Quality from 1 to 400. The activity determines the ordinary obtainable range; Base Quality raises the minimum as more Transcendent Weapons are acquired.
Quality ranges
| Range | Quality |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1–100 |
| 2 | 101–200 |
| 3 | 201–300 |
| 4 | 301–400 |
Base Quality increases when a Transcendent Weapon is acquired and caps at 400. Within a content's allowed range, the current Base Quality acts as a floor. Monsters have a very small chance to drop above the normal content range.
Useful current farms
| Content | Normal quality range | Completion chance |
|---|---|---|
| Legion Laboratory | 251–400 | 4.78% |
| Forbidden Sanctuary | 251–400 | 5.64% |
| Karel's Mothership Normal | 251–400 | 14.5% |
| Karel's Mothership Hard | 271–400 | 14.5% |
| Onslaught Stage 1 | 276–400 | 7.11% |
| Onslaught Stage 2 | 301–400 | 7.11% |
| Cradle of Evolution | 271–400 | 4.36% |
| Breach Tracking | 251–400 | 5% |
These are mission-completion figures from Update 1.4.0, not total rates including every monster drop or temporary boost.
Dismantling and Deslin
Dismantling produces Transcendent Trait Elements; higher level and Quality Range increase the gain. Deslin in Albion sells:
- an unrestricted Transcendent Weapon Box for 400 Trait Elements;
- a Range 4 box for 800, limited to 10 per week;
- Transcendent and Sub Wave Modulators for readjustment, with weekly limits.
Readjustment and module-setting implant
Use the Weapon Workbench in Albion or Outposts to readjust Sub Abilities or Transcendent Abilities with the corresponding Wave Modulator. The implant system copies module settings from four paired Ultimate Weapons into their Transcendent counterparts and consumes a Transcendent Photon Imprinter.
What does not transfer automatically
The developer notes that Ultimate Weapon Core effects such as sprint-speed increase and reduced Grappling Hook charge time do not carry over as-is. Do not dismantle or replace a mature Ultimate setup solely because the new tier has a higher label; compare the actual ability, Quality, modules, and activity.
Trading rules added in Update 1.4.3
Newly acquired Transcendent Weapons receive 24 hours of Trade Protection. A traded weapon becomes bound; a Trade Permit can unbind it, but acquiring through trade does not grant Base Quality EXP. Minimum prices rise by Quality Range—100, 200, 400, and 600 Caliber—and the seller receives proceeds after a 10% fee. Regional restrictions and a Mastery Rank daily purchase limit also apply; the limit resets at 00:00 PDT.
Hotfix 1.4.3b fixes Cradle Commander rewards that could drop below the player's minimum Base Quality. That named fix does not prove a previously acquired weapon was changed retroactively.
