When the player selects to create the weapon again, the option of using mystic ores will be given. Mystic ores can be obtained by defeating a special group of enemies, which take the form of possessed armor and equipment. In addition, the player must have the proper amount of mystic ores. Creating an enchanted weapon will require that the original form of the weapon was already forged. Depending on what guardian beast was selected, different types of weapons may be enchanted without having to obtain the enchanted technique. When the player has the technique, as well as the materials necessary, they may forge the weapon at their workshop. Also, any weapon sacrificed will only return half of what was used to forge it.
The amount and type of materials received will depend on the items being used. Materials can be obtained by sacrificing items or weapons. Summon Night divides materials into four elements: fire, water, lightning, and wind. After the main game is completed, the player will receive techniques by finding them in treasure chests or monsters, and completing special tasks. Also, as with swords, Bron will add to the number of techniques by each day. Other weapon techniques can also be received from Bron, but the preceding weapon must already have been crafted in order for him to teach the next technique. Sword techniques are given once every day by Bron and are impossible to miss. To forge a weapon, the player needs the weapon technique and the materials to create it. One of the main focuses of the game is to forge weapons for fighting.
The rewards of these quests are usually enchanted weapon techniques. During the night, the player can choose who to spend the night with, which will control the following cutscene.Īpart from the story quests, there are multiple side-quests, offered by re-occurring NPCs. A day normally ends after a tournament or boss battle. Each day, more levels of the Labyrinth are unlocked and the player is required to travel deeper to complete mandatory quests. The entire game consists of 10 days, where the player traverses through the town of Wystern and the Labyrinth Dungeon. Summon Night: Swordcraft Story progresses through the story on a day-by-day basis.
