To obtain Safi'jiiva weapons in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, you need to participate in the Safi'jiiva Siege event. This event allows hunters to fight Safi'jiiva and earn Dracolite, which can be used to upgrade and customize Safi'jiiva weapons.
Unlocking the Safi'jiiva Siege
To acquire Safi'jiiva weapons in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, players must first unlock the Safi'jiiva Siege. The Safi'jiiva Siege is a limited-time event quest that allows hunters to battle Safi'jiiva, an Elder Dragon that serves as the source of the powerful weapons. To unlock the Siege, players must progress through the Iceborne storyline until they reach Master Rank 24. Once at this rank, players will receive a special assignment to investigate Safi'jiiva's presence. Completing this assignment will unlock the Safi'jiiva Siege and allow players to participate in the event quest.
Participating in the Safi'jiiva Siege
Once the Safi'jiiva Siege is unlocked, players can participate in the event by joining sessions specifically dedicated to the siege. These sessions can be found in the Gathering Hub and are typically marked as Safi'jiiva Siege sessions. Up to 16 players can join a single Safi'jiiva Siege session, with each one forming squads of up to four hunters. It is recommended to join a session with other players to fully experience the Siege and increase the chances of successfully defeating Safi'jiiva.
Battling Safi'jiiva
During the Safi'jiiva Siege, players must work together to battle Safi'jiiva and weaken its parts. Safi'jiiva has various parts that can be targeted and broken, such as its head, wings, and tail. Breaking these parts will increase the chances of obtaining better rewards at the end of the Siege. Additionally, players will need to focus on dealing enough damage to Safi'jiiva to repel it and successfully complete the Siege. Communication and teamwork are essential during the battle to coordinate attacks and ensure the team's success.
Awakening Safi'jiiva Weapons
After successfully completing the Safi'jiiva Siege, players will receive rewards in the form of Dracolite, a special material used to awaken Safi'jiiva weapons. Dracolite comes in different sizes and qualities, with higher-quality Dracolite offering a greater chance of unlocking powerful abilities on Safi'jiiva weapons. Players can use Dracolite to awaken Safi'jiiva weapons at the Elder Melder in Astera or Seliana. By selecting specific abilities and investing Dracolite, players can customize their Safi'jiiva weapons to suit their playstyle and preferences.
Upgrading Safi'jiiva Weapons
Once Safi'jiiva weapons have been awakened, players can further upgrade them using materials obtained from subsequent runs of the Safi'jiiva Siege. These materials, such as Great Spiritvein Gems and Elder Dragonvein Bones, can be used to increase the weapon's overall power and unlock additional upgrade slots. Players can continue to upgrade their Safi'jiiva weapons to maximize their potential and create powerful loadouts for their hunts in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
