Izo cracks on with the weapon crafting.

I’ve been striving to create the greatest weapon that ever was, but despite my best efforts, I’ve yet to make any meaningful progress. There’s an essential element I’m missing, the seed of inspiration-but I know it’s out there! I just need something or someone to help me grasp it.

Starting The Pursuit of Perfection Side Quest¶

The Pursuit of Perfection Side Quest will become available once you’ve reached the Gongaga Region in Chapter 9. Accept the quest via the noticeboard and then speak with the Weaponsmith who can be found in Izo’s Smithery which is located to the southeast of Midriver Isle Tower. He would like to create Barret a new weapon, but this will require a specific material, so he requests that you track down these materials.

To begin, follow the path along to the south and enter the nearby shed and grab the Draconite Map from the box.

Find the Draconite Deposits¶

You’ll now want to press to bring up the map and then follow the stream to the west to reach a Draconite Deposit. Clear out the Daggerwings by switching over to Barret and unleashing Maximum Fury or alternatively striking it with wind-based spells. Once the enemies have been cleared out, interact with the Draconite nodes until you’ve collected 8 (most of these can be found by climbing the nearby rope) and then deliver them to Izo. After some time has passed, the Fafnir Rifle (which focuses on increasing Magic Attack) will be in your hands.
