Elvia Weapon (NPC Buffs)

Elvia grinding spots used to give Elvia Weapons. That has been removed. Now it is a buff instead, without any requirement to equip a different weapon.

This Elvia buff (“Blessing of the Elvia Spirits”) allows you to do much greater damage to Elvia mobs and Elvia bosses.

 

  • “Blessing of the Elvia Spirits” only lasts for 10 minutes!
  • The buff has a 10 minute cool down.
  • There are Daily and Weekly exchange quests you can do to get “Blessing of the Elvia Spirits”. (See Details below.)


  • Elvia buffs are obtained by glowing NPCs that spawn as you are fighting,
  • Chat with the NPC (Okiara, Narc, Valtarra) for a weapon buff.
  • Buff is applied to yourself and party members. Party members must be in your party before the spirit spawns.
  • Not applicable to platoons.
  • Receiving the “Blessing of the Elvia Spirits” will apply the “Reminiscence of the Elvia Spirits” effect, that prevents you from obtaining another “Blessing” buff while under the effects of “Reminiscence.”
  • You can log out to save the buff for later use.
  • +3 extra Monster AP is applied to both main and awakening weapons for 5 minutes. (Whispers of Elvia Realm Spirits) It’s applied by interacting with any spawned ancient spirit and is separate from the “Blessings” and “Reminiscence of the Elvia Spirits” buffs.

 

Blessings of the Ancient Spirits

The Elvia ancient spirits spawn and stay for 5 minutes before they disappear. 1 minute before they disappear, their appearance changes.

 

Elvia Blessing Buff Specifics

Ancient Spirit buff will increase your damage by different amounts, depending on the grinding spot.

The minimum damage modifier is 3.5x in bad spots. Better spots give 4.5x damage and optimal spots give 6x damage. Source.
