Understanding Weapon Expertise Quests

Weapon Expertise Quests are challenge chains tied to specific NPCs. Initiated by speaking with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones, these quests involve five stages each. Completing them unlocks Legendary weapons from these NPCs, including Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. Track your progress via the in-game Quests tab.
