— In-game description

Sharpened Knife is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

At this point, tonberries' predilection for sharpened knives is well known. By manipulating aether to harness feelings of resentment, one hones a keener blade for driving into the heart of the enemy. Naturally, being beset by this attack while unable to move is a uniquely harrowing experience.

Acquisition

Duties

Tonberry King from level 50 Dungeon The Wanderer's Palace (recommended)

Note: This may take SEVERAL runs to acquire. Getting Ram's Voice before is extremely helpful. When fighting the Tonberry King, use spells that won't hit any of the Tonberries aside from the King, as his damage increases to frightening levels while his Tonberry fellows die.
