Rika questline (Level 850+)

Three collection quests (1 Memory Shard each), a repeatable fourth quest vs. a Copycat/Yuta-style enemy, repeated until a Binding Jewel drops. Copy Cat recipe: 1 Domain Fragment, 3 Heavenly Fragments, 3 Memory Shards, 1 Binding Jewel. Mechanic: stand over a defeated boss, wait for T to show "Copy," activate to steal an ability into a slot.

Copying Awakened Toji skills

Use Easy difficulty (no documented advantage to harder difficulty for copying). Move over the body immediately after defeat, watch T for "Copy," repeat until all four slots are filled.

Authentic Mutual Love (domain)

Recipe: 3 Severed Blades, 5 Mirrored Crystals, 4 Domain Fragments (from the Yuta/Cursed Prodigy raid route). Jacob's Ladder deals percentage-HP damage.

Mimic gear

Farm Mimic Crates from the Yuta route (Mimic I/II/III + upgrade/accessory materials). Ascension 5 targets: Perfect Imitation +80 ATK/+80 ATK%, Bound Imitation +66 ATK/+66 ATK%.

Yuta's Sheath recipe

1 Tether, 3 Cursed Essence, 3 Leather, 1 Catalyst. Grants +35% Copy amp, +3.5% per 100 CE above 1,000.

Okkotsu clan

Grade 1 clan: +10% Critical Rate, +35% Cursed Energy Rate.

Reverse Curse Technique

RCT Trainer: two collection quests, defeat required NPC in third quest, receive 1 Reversal. At the Passive Ability Exchange: 1 Reversal + 1 Heavenly Fragment + 500,000 Yen → RCT (heals over time, drains CE).

Infinity Aura

Infinity Trainer: 1,000-point zone quest, collection quest, boss quest (5% Reversal drop). Exchange: 3 Reversals, 2 Domain Fragments, 1 Limitless Extra, 10,000,000 Yen. Stuns on contact, drains CE quickly, prevents dashing while active.

Sorcery Heavenly Restriction - Energy Fibers

Final effects: +30% Crit Rate, +200% Crit Damage, +50% CDR, +150% CE, +100% ATK; no weapons; -80% HP.

• Sorcery Restrictor's first quest - Inumaki questline
• 3 Domain Fragments
• Theorist questline: 750 pts, 1,000 pts, then the Theorist fight
• 3 more Domain Fragments
• Sorcery Veil Keeper - enemy-clear quest

Chained (late addition)

Ailment II in Tomb of the Stars: Cursed Chains + Edo Emblem I or II (from Edo Crates). Stuns briefly and increases damage taken during the effect (exact values unconfirmed).
