Understanding the Vengeance Shard in Legacy Piece
In Legacy Piece, the Vengeance Shard is a crucial crafting material specifically required for players looking to unlock the Chihiro weapon. Inspired by the Kagura Bachi series, this weapon is a high-tier item that requires a significant grind to obtain.
You will need exactly three Vengeance Shards to complete the first stage of the Chihiro questline. Because these shards are not guaranteed drops, you will likely need to engage in repetitive boss farming. Understanding the most efficient way to challenge the boss and manage your resources is key to minimizing the time spent grinding.
Farming Vengeance Shards: The Chihiro Boss
The only reliable way to obtain Vengeance Shards is by defeating the Chihiro Boss. This boss is located on Ruin City Island. If you are new to this area, you can navigate there to find the Chihiro Seller NPC, who initiates the questline.
Boss Spawn Mechanics
You do not have to wait for the boss to spawn naturally in the open world, which can be inconsistent. Instead, you can manually summon the Chihiro Boss to ensure a continuous farming loop.
- Requirements to Summon: 10 Boss Tickets and $10,000.
- Location: Ruin City Island.
By using your Boss Tickets, you can control the pace of your farming session. If you are low on tickets, prioritize saving them for this specific boss rather than using them on lower-priority encounters, as the grind for the three required shards can take some time depending on your luck.
Efficient Farming Strategies
The Chihiro Boss is notoriously "tanky," boasting 5,760,300 HP. To make your farming sessions less tedious, you should exploit its elemental weakness.
- Elemental Weakness: The boss is weak against the Light element.
- Recommended Gear: Players report that using Light-based weapons, such as the Flashy Flash, significantly reduces the time it takes to deplete the boss's health bar.
If you find the boss too difficult to solo, consider utilizing public servers or partying up with other players. Many players in the community are often farming for the same materials, making it easier to find a group to tackle the boss quickly.
The Chihiro Questline Requirements
Once you have secured your three Vengeance Shards, you are only through the first stage of the process. The Chihiro weapon quest is divided into two distinct stages, and you will need to continue farming the same boss for additional materials.
After completing the first quest, be prepared to gather the following for the second stage:
- Koi Soul: 1 (This is the rarest drop, with a 2.8% drop rate).
- Tsuka Enten: 45
- Spiritsteel Ingot: 75
- Money: $10,000,000
- Rank: SS or Above
Since the Chihiro Boss drops several of these materials (including Spiritsteel Ingots and Tsuka Enten), it is highly recommended to keep a running tally of what you have in your storage. You can check your progress at any time by using the index feature in your storage menu to see which bosses or mobs drop the specific items you are missing.
Unlocking the Full Potential of Chihiro
Obtaining the weapon is not the end of the journey. To utilize the weapon's full combat potential, specifically the Enten (F) ability, you must visit the Enchantment NPC.
By activating the "Kuro Instinct" passive, you unlock the complete functionality of the weapon's moveset. Without this enchantment, the weapon remains incomplete and underpowered compared to its full potential. Ensure you have the necessary gems, which can be acquired by opening chests, to perform this enchantment.
For players still in the mid-game, this weapon is a significant investment. It is often recommended to secure your endgame gear first before committing to the heavy grind required for the Chihiro weapon. However, once unlocked and enchanted, it stands as one of the top-tier weapons currently available in Legacy Piece.
