Brilliant Tools/Quest
| Chora-Zoi's Crystalline <<< IL 625 |
|
Vrandtic Visionary's >>> IL 635 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Chora-Zoi's Crystalline Tools can be upgraded to Brilliant Tools by crafting or gathering collectables, handing them in to Quinnana for "components", and handing those in to Chora-Zoi.
Gatherers also have the option of using 
Aetherial Reduction on the collectables to get the components, rather than handing them in. Aetherial Reduction has a chance of earning double the components, so it's faster than handing in the collectables.
Items required
Crafters
Your current Splendorous Tool must be equipped when crafting the required items.
Craft 30 of the fourth-tier tool-specific collectables at maximum collectability and trade them to Quinnana to receive 90 brilliant components. Give these to Chora-Zoi to complete the fourth upgrade.
- Each craft requires 1x of an item that can be bought from the Scrip Exchange for
30 Purple Crafters' Scrips, or from the Market Board.
- In best case (30 crafts), this costs a total of 900.
- In worst case (90 crafts), this costs a total of 2,700.
- In best case (30 crafts), this costs a total of
Notes:
- The
Ophiotauros Hide, 
Saiga Hide, 
Lunatender Blossom, 
Hoptrap Leaf, 
Vampire Vine Sap, and 
Ovibos Milk are monster parts that cannot be gathered by Miner or Botanist. They can be collected in bulk from sending a combat Retainer on Hunting ventures, or bought in bulk from Gemstone Traders for 
Bicolor Gemstones. - The
Apkallu Down is also a monster part, but it cannot be bought for bicolor gemstones. - The
Abalathian Rock Salt is from a timed Unspoiled Node in The Sea of Clouds.
Botanist and Miner
Your current Splendorous Tool must be equipped when gathering at the specified gathering points.
Gather 70 of the fourth-tier tool-specific collectables at maximum collectability and trade them to Quinnana to receive 210 brilliant components. Give these to Chora-Zoi to complete the fourth upgrade.

Alternatively, collectable reward items can now also be obtained through Aetherial Reduction, yielding either 3 or a low chance of 6 items at 1000 collectability. This means that the reward item quota is fulfilled faster that way.
You will also require 210 hidden items (
Brilliant Lightning Cluster or 
Brilliant Earth Cluster) located at the same nodes the collectables are.
- Note: These are not considered "elemental clusters" despite the name and appearance, so
The Twelve's Bounty and The Giving Land do not work. Regular yield-increasing skills such as 
King's Yield or 
Blessed Harvest should work, though.
Fisher
- Remember to equip the
Chora-Zoi's Crystalline Fishing Rod, use 
Select Bait Ball as bait, and have 
Collect active. - Select Bait Balls can be purchased from Quinnana in the Crystarium (X:10.4, Y:7.7) for
2 each.
Catch 40 of each of the fourth-tier tool-specific collectables at maximum collectability and trade them to Quinnana to receive 80 of each of the brilliant components. Give these to Chora-Zoi to complete the fourth upgrade.
- Oil Slick is a ! bite between 4-6 seconds.
