Rank 9 (R9) gear was introduced on August 17, 2010 in patch 398. This gear is different than other rank gear in that you need more than just the required level and reputation to obtain each piece. It is also significantly more powerful. There is a total of three upgrades available for rank 9 gear, all being more powerful with each upgrade.
Requirements[ | ]
This gear is available at level 101 to players with 300,000 reputation or more, and is required in order to get any of the higher rank 9 recast gear. To obtain this gear, you must exchange Medals of Glory and General Summer's Tokens with the Commander-in-Chief (521, 626) in the South District of Archosaur. The ★★Ring of Trauma must be purchased first before you are allowed to obtain the rest of the rank 9 gear.
Item | Medal of Glory Required | General Summer's Token Required |
---|---|---|
★★Ring of Trauma | 3 | 32 |
Rank 9 Belt | 3 | 32 |
Rank 9 Weapon | 5 | 85 |
Rank 9 Wrists | 2 | 14 |
Rank 9 Chest | 2 | 14 |
Rank 9 Leggings | 2 | 14 |
Rank 9 Boots | 2 | 14 |
A Medal of Glory can be obtained by:
- Purchasing from the Boutique.
- A reward given out once per week to the leader of the faction that holds a randomly selected Territory.
- A possible reward for winning a Dragons' Conquest battle.
- Exchanging 3 Token of Tenacity from Thursday Night Fights.
- A reward from certain packs.
- Purchasing from other players.
General Summer's Tokens can be obtained by:
- Purchasing from the Boutique.
- Exchanging 9,999 Mysterious Chips with General Summer in the South District of Archosaur.
- As a possible reward for winning a Dragons' Conquest battle.
- A reward from certain packs.
- Purchasing from other players.
Mysterious Chips can be commonly obtained either directly from the Boutique, as Bounty Hunter rewards, or as a possible reward from some packs. When purchased from the Boutique they come in the form of Mysterious Chip 10-packs, which can be mass-opened at the Mysterious Merchant NPC, located in A Thousand Streams (129, 862) and various locations in Archosaur including the West District (528, 660). There are other methods to obtaining Mysterious Chips, however those methods do not yield many, therefore are not recommended as there are more efficient ways to obtain them.
Reputation can also be earned in multiple ways. The more common methods are:
- Purchasing from the Boutique (Wraith Officer's Badges).
- Exchanging Flowsilver Coins from Flowsilver Palace for Warsong Emblems, and then exchanging Warsong Emblems for Wraith Officer's Badges.
- Using Reputation Jades from your Morai order.
- Choosing the Errantry Badge as part of your reward for completing the Bounty Hunter II quest for levels 100+.
- Completing quests.
- Purchasing from other players.
There are several other methods to gaining reputation, however these methods are no longer popular due to the low amount of reputation they give.
Cost[ | ]
Below is the cost of each component needed for rank 9 when purchased from the Boutique. Note that these items will not always be available in the Boutique. All prices listed below are the most common sales prices for each item, though sale prices can vary. It is always recommended to purchase these items while they are on sale in order to save as much money as possible.
Wraith Officer's Badges:
- Wraith Officer's Badge x10 (5 Silver)
- Wraith Officer's Badge x50 (23 Silver)
- Wraith Officer's Badge x100 (40 Silver)
These badges can be turned in at the Commander-in-Chief (521, 626) for 25 reputation each.
Medals of Glory:
- Medal of Glory (13 Gold)
- Medal of Glory x5 (50 Gold)
General Summer's Tokens:
- General Summer's Token (3 Gold)
- Myst. Chip 10-Pack x50 (15 Silver)
- Myst. Chip 10-Pack x100 (25 Silver)
While there is the option to purchase General Summer's Tokens directly from the Boutique, it is cheaper to buy Mysterious Chip Packs instead however is more time-consuming as you would need to open these packs first before converting the Mysterious Chips into General Summer's Tokens. A General Summer's Token can be obtained by trading 9,999 Mysterious Chips to General Summer in Archosaur (521, 629).

Notes[ | ]
- You can only obtain one set of rank 9 gear. You also cannot downgrade your rank gear, so choose wisely before upgrading your gear.
- All rank 9 gear and its recasts can be NPCed. For this reason it is recommended to use a Binding Charm on your gear to prevent this from happening.
- If you do end up accidentally selling your gear, you will need to submit a ticket through the Arc support page. The gear you receive back may not be identical to the gear that was sold.
- When upgrading your ★★Ring of Trauma it is possible to manufacture a ring of any class, however you will not be able to equip the ring if it is not the one for your class. You cannot reverse this yourself to fix it; you will have to submit a ticket through the Arc support page if this happens.
- In-game, it is implied that magic weapons that are rank 9 2nd cast or higher will trigger the Purify Spell when you attack others, however it is the opposite; it has a chance of triggering when enemies attack you.
- In addition, the Purify Spell will purify most negative status effects that a normal purify would. This means that some movement-impairing effects (and other debuffs) cannot be purified in this way.
- Interestingly enough, there are recipes for the Duskblade rank 9, rank 9 second cast, and rank 9 fourth cast weapons at the Boundless Forge, for rerolling them. It costs 1 Mirage Celestone and 10 million silver coins. No other weapons can be rerolled in this way.
