So, with the release of Tachi:Rana (Nyzul weaponskill) yesterday from the 9/08 update patch, this discussion serves to seek and resolve answers pertaining to this.
Cliff Notes: Tachi:Rana a new SAM rage?
Getting Tachi:Rana
To get Tachi:Rana, you need to do Nyzul Isle and obtain a Windslicer Great Katana from the assault(s). Then you talk to the NPC Zalsumh with your Windslicer equipped, he resides in Lower Jeuno (in Muckvik's Junk Shop).
After obtaining the weapon, you must complete a corresponding amount of WS Points (similar to latent weapons and Zilart WS quest), which varies by two key factors:
1. Runic Seal Key item - Obtained from clearing floor 100 of Nyzul Isle Assault on your own disc. You will have to obtain 250 WS points after this, in order to obtain the new weaponskill [equivalent to 50 Darkness/Light SC's]. It is said that you need to fight mobs that are Easy Prey or above to obtain the points.
2. Unknown number of WS points - Can possibly be quite a large amount, depending on which floor your disc is on. (Currently in the New WS Quest Thread, some on floor 0 have said to done over 1000+ Ws points and still have yet to obtain.
About Tachi:Rana
- 3-Hit WS, Additional TP supposedly gives Accuracy / ? Unknown, need confirmation
- "Tachi: Rana" [Gravitation/Induration] - From New WS Properties created by eva00r
- Can create Self LV3 Darkness by using Tachi:Rana -> Tachi:Gekko
5-hit Setup & Great Katanas
To obtain a 5-hit setup, you need a weapon with 480 Delay. Along with that, you will need a total of +54 Store TP to obtain this.
