During your Metaphor: ReFantazio playthrough, you'll occasionally pick up weapons and armor pieces that can be purified. Once acquired, this trait is readily noted in an affected item's description box. However, you'll need to make a bit of progress in the game before you can unlock the ability to purify your affected equipment.

Purifying designated weapons and armor pieces will significantly enhance their stats and abilities and occasionally give way to the odd latent effect. This is a reliable means to strengthen the equipment, especially early on. While impure equipment is often powerful at the base, taking your gear to its highest potential as soon as possible to ensure that every Metaphor: ReFantazio party member has access to the best weapons is worthwhile.

How To Purify Weapons In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Increasing Wisdom & Unlocking Purification Through The Church

Weapons can be purified at a church in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Grand Trad is home to St. Fermis Church, which will serve as the prime destination to purify any piece of equipment that calls for this process in its description. Doing so will lend affected weapons and armor even greater power, and that's a lot to be said, considering these items are typically quite powerful on their own.

You'll gain access to St. Fermis Church upon completing the prologue in Metaphor: ReFantazio, making it a reliable early-game option for purification purposes.

Apart from locating a church, there are a few additional tasks you'll need to accomplish before the ability to purify equipment is effectively unlocked, as outlined by Gamers Heroes on YouTube. This includes the following:

• Increase your Wisdom to Informed
• Collect Blessed Water

Without satisfying these requirements, impure weapons or armor cannot be displayed at a church.

How To Increase Wisdom

For starters, you must increase your Wisdom to Rank 2 or Informed. As one of your Royal Virtues, there are several ways to boost your Wisdom, but one of the most reliable methods is to take on quests that promise growth in this area.

Gamers Heroes notes that taking in the view of the Royal Capital from a bench in the heart of Grand Trad is another quick and simple way to earn a solid boost to this Royal Virtue without straying too far from where you need to be.

How To Get Blessed Water

Once you've reached Wisdom Rank 2, you'll need to get your hands on some Blessed Water. According to TheGamer, this is required for each purification ritual, and it's relatively easy to come by. Dungeons are excellent places to stock up on Blessed Water, though you're sure to pick up more with natural story progression.

With Metaphor: ReFantazio's Thief Archetype, you can steal Blessed Water from Trove enemies inside dungeons. Utilize this Archetype or another with access to Steal as an inherited skill for easy farming.

Having satisfied the requirements, you can now purify your impure weapons and armor pieces at any local church in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Ensure you have all affected items on hand for your next visit, and select the Purify option when you speak to the priest inside. This is a surefire way to bring out the full power of your weapons and armor, so making regular trips to the church is advised. that each purification also costs money; the process can get rather pricey if you let your equipment pile up.
