Introduction #
Helion weapons and armor are high-tier equipment in Dekaron, requiring a structured crafting process. This guide provides a detailed step-by-step breakdown, covering necessary materials, best farming locations, and strategies to optimize your crafting experience.
Crafting Requirements #
Before starting, you need to unlock the appropriate Craft Mastery:
- Weapon Mastery for Helion weapons
- Armor Mastery for Helion armor
It is recommended to use two different accounts—one specializing in weapons and the other in armor—to streamline the process.
Leveling Up Mastery #
To craft Helion gear, your Craft Mastery must be at level 3. To level up:
- Visit Dora NPC to select the appropriate Mastery.
- Craft basic materials like Weapon Hone (First Grade) or processed materials obtained from the Level 185 Forgotten Underground Temple Dungeon (Materia).
- Repeat crafting low-tier items until you reach level 3.
Farming Materials for Helion Weapons #
To craft Helion weapons, you need the following materials:
- Mudrock of the Creator – Obtained via Mastery Level 1 crafting.
- Socket Powder (1,000 units) – Acquired by disassembling unwanted gems at Carmen NPC.
- Gemstones (1,000 units) – Farmed from monsters or purchased from other players.
- Adamantium & Heavenly Energy – Farmed in Shangri-La, best farmed from Spirit Creatures.
- Sun Essence – Dropped from the Level 190 Party Dungeon (Space of Pilgrimage – Moki’s Trial).
- First Grade Weapon Mudrocks – Dropped in Forgotten Underground Temple Dungeon (Materia) or Dragon’s Nest.
- Hefron Weapon – Crafted from materials dropped in Forgotten Underground Temple Dungeon.
Farming Materials for Helion Armor #
The Helion armor crafting process is similar to weapons but requires additional components:
- Helion’s Blessing, Ordeal Token, Courage Token – Dropped from Moki’s Trial Party Dungeon (Space of Pilgrimage).
- Monochrome Ore, Sun Essence, White Leader’s Reference – Also found in Moki’s Trial Party Dungeon.
- Hefron Armor – Crafted from Forgotten Underground Temple Dungeon materials.
Crafting Process #
- Ensure Craft Mastery is at level 3.
- Gather required materials through dungeons, farming, or market purchases.
- Use the Crafting Menu (Anvil icon) to combine items.
- Crafting takes 24 hours, but catalysts can reduce this time.
Alternative Options #
- Purchasing from Players: Many players sell crafted Helion armor and weapons in the Agency Market.
- Event Rewards & DShop: Occasionally, crafting packages and Helion gear boxes are available.
- Hefron & Helion Caches: Dropped from Materia and Shangri-La, providing random gear pieces.
Final Thoughts #
Crafting Helion gear is resource-intensive but rewarding. If you struggle with farming, consider purchasing pieces from the market. Alternatively, aim for Level 200 Rondo gear, which may be more viable long-term.
