The Weapon Quest UI, which can be opened by clicking on the light-bulb and selecting the [Destiny Weapon] The Adversary's Determination quest.

The Destiny Weapon is a Level 250 Weapon that serves as an upgrade to an existing Genesis Weapon. It can be awakened in two stages (though the second stage is currently only available in KMS) and is part of the Eternal Set. To obtain the weapon, Destiny Weapon Quests must be completed, with the first quest unlocked upon completing the Level 275 Shangri-La questline by finishing both the main quests and the side quest [Shangri-La] Light Through the Shade. The act of obtaining the weapon is often called transcendence.

History

  • Originally, the missions required the player to defeat the "real" mode of the boss. It was changed during MapleStory X One Punch Man Update so the missions can be cleared in Practice Mode.[4]
  • The first players to complete the First stage of Transcendence in GlobalMS were Bane, a Demon Slayer from Bera,[5] and Sunny, a Dual Blade from Scania,[6] both completing their Transcendence in the same day.
