How to unlock Two Handed Weapons of the World Vol 4
The path to unlocking this weapon revolves around progressing through Muiquun’s black market storyline after completing Lawless Market quest. You cannot simply buy the recipe immediately—you must first prove yourself through the town’s questline.
Muiquun acts as a lawless hub, meaning progression here is tied to clearing enemies and gaining access to hidden vendors. Once you advance far enough, a back-alley merchant, Aris, becomes available.
Increase trust with Aris by buying more items, and eventually he would have the recipe book – Two Handed Weapons of the World Vol 4 available for purchase.
How to unlock and craft the Dandelion Longsword
Step 1
Travel to Muiquun and begin clearing hostile enemies in the area. This step is essential because it unlocks access to key questlines tied to the town.
Step 2
Start and complete the “Lawless Market” questline. This is part of Muiquun’s Black Market progression and acts as the main gatekeeper for unlocking hidden vendors.
Step 3
Return to Muiquun after completing the questline. At this point, new vendors will appear in the back alleys.
Step 4
Locate the vendor Aris in the back alley. He sells the required book: Two-Handed Weapons of the World, Volume 4.
Step 5
Purchase the book to unlock the crafting recipe. This permanently adds the Dandelion Longsword to your available blueprints.
Step 6
Head to any smithy and craft the weapon. Make sure you have the required materials ready before visiting.
Crafting materials breakdown
| Material | Quantity | How to Get |

| Copper Ore | 12 | Early mining zones |
The materials are relatively easy to gather, which is why this weapon is often considered a high-value craft for its power level.
Dandelion Longsword stats and effects
The Dandelion Longsword offers a noticeably higher base attack compared to similar-tier weapons, making it a strong pick if you prefer heavy melee combat. As you upgrade it, the attack jumps significantly from 15 to 40, which gives you a clear edge in mid-game encounters.
Another important aspect is the Critical Rate upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2, which enhances your damage consistency rather than relying purely on raw strength. This balance makes the weapon effective in both crowd control and boss fights.
The comparison to weapons like Darkbringer often comes up, and in many cases, the Dandelion Longsword provides better base damage scaling, making it a more consistent choice if you want raw output.
Additionally, the socket potential ensures long-term usability, which means you won’t have to replace it immediately after crafting.
When you should prioritize getting it
If you are focusing on a melee-heavy build, you should aim to unlock this weapon as soon as you reach Muiquun. The earlier you obtain it, the more value you get from its scaling.
On the other hand, if your build leans toward ranged or magic, it may not be essential—but even then, it remains a strong backup weapon due to its raw power.
