KENZAN! GREATSWORD AND STAFF RECIPES: EVERY CRAFTING BRANCH
Every arrow below consumes the preceding weapon at Final Grade if it can be refined. Finish all available grades again between arrows. Fees exclude those refinements, base purchases and ingredient purchases. Each listed material means one copy unless marked twice. Dates are KHHsubs story checkpoints for the route, not promises that every ingredient is sold in shops that early.
