Starting a thread to outline the actual Ergon weapon quest.
requirement 1: Legend rank in all coalitions
requirement 2: RUN AF quests completed
step 1: talk to Gaddiux at the inventors coalition, he requests a numbing blossom seed. Hints at scouts coalition and to bring a pickaxe. Didn't find anything helpful at scouts coalition.
step 2: travel to the clearing at I-8 in yorcia weald that is filled with numbing blossoms (it is behind an obstructing brush during certain game hours). A ??? will resonate with you. Mine once to get the numbing blossom seed key item, something will continue to resonate deeper. Continue mining to obtain the broken rapier hilt key item.
step 3: Return to Gaddiux who will point you to Runje Desaali (east adoulin J-10, by the coronal esplanade). Runje will give you a long spiel and request 100 HP Bayld to repair your broken rapier hilt.
my current progress is 80/100. Aside from purchasing HP bayld from runje for 10k each, there are several other means of obtaining them. HP bayld is a frequent drop if you spam reives, I've been seeing 1/5 drop rate doing lair reives in a loop around marjami. HP bayld is also a guaranteed drop from WKRs, meaning that if you feel confident enough to gain more than 5k bayld in a WKR, it's more efficient than buying. The ease of obtaining these is going to lead to prices falling rapidly for people who are bazaaring them I beleive.
Please post if you have completed further and have anything to contribute. I've seen speculation in the dat mining threads and am not sure which is accurate. From the six naakual ki, to the pristine yggzi crystal (worth 2.5m plasm?), to requirments upwards of 15600 HP Bayld.
