Final Fantasy 13: How to Create a New Weapon

There are only a few weapons found throughout "Final Fantasy XIII." The weapons need leveling up to become new ones. This leveling up process takes place at any save point in the game. In the Upgrade system, level up, dismantle for parts or upgrade any weapon or accessory. The necessary items for upgrade include organic components, synthetic components and special components used on specific weapons. It is impossible to synthesize a brand new weapon at one visit to a save point early in the game. Leveling up takes many components, and the special components are not available until late in the game.

Instructions

- 1
  Go to any save point and press "X" to access the menu. Choose "Upgrade" and then "Upgrade" again. Choose "Weapons." Choose the weapon you wish to level up.
- 2
  Move the cursor to a component from the list available. Components are dropped by enemies, found in chests or purchased. Each component levels up the weapon by giving it so many Experience Points, or EXP. They also build up, or subtract, the bonus multiplier, which raises the amount of EXP the weapon receives.
- 3
  Press "X" after choosing a component to see how much it will level up the weapon. Press "circle" if you do not want to use the selected component and choose another one. Press "X" to use the selected component. The EXP number on the left side of the screen will go up. When the EXP reaches a certain amount, the weapon will level up.
- 4
  Level up the weapon as much as you can, until you run out of components, and then continue with the game. Level up the weapon again upon reaching another save point. Eventually, the weapon will reach max level and there will be a star next to its name.
- 5
  Select the max level weapon in the "Upgrade" menu. Move the cursor to the special component needed to synthesis a new weapon, if you have acquired it. Press "X" to select the item. The weapon will become a new one, and its stats and level will change.
- 6
  Repeat until the weapon is the highest level it can become, and synthesize a new one again. When a weapon can no longer be synthesized, it is called "Omega."
