How to Obtain the Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed
The Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed can be obtained as a rare drop from the Gauntlet and its more challenging counterpart, the Corrupted Gauntlet.
- The Gauntlet Drop Rate: 1/2,000
- Corrupted Gauntlet Drop Rate: 1/400
These two challenges take place in Tirannwn and require significant combat and survival skills to complete successfully.
Crafting the Blade of Saeldor and Bow of Faerdhinen
Once you obtain the Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed, you can convert it into either the Blade of Saeldor or the Bow of Faerdhinen. To do so, visit a singing bowl with the following requirements:
- 82 Smithing
- 82 Crafting
- A number of crystal shards.
Crafting Costs:
| Weapon | Shard Cost | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Blade of Saeldor | 100 Crystal Shards | Basic form |
| Blade of Saeldor (c) | 1,000 Crystal Shards | Corrupted (Full upgrade) |
| Bow of Faerdhinen | 100 Crystal Shards | Basic form |
| Bow of Faerdhinen (c) | 2,000 Crystal Shards | Corrupted (Full upgrade) |
Both weapons are among the strongest in OSRS, offering exceptional stats for melee and ranged combat respectively.
Exchanging the Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed
If you decide not to use the seed to craft weapons, you can trade it for 1,500 crystal shards by speaking to Amrod at Prifddinas’ Hefin Inn. This option provides a significant amount of shards for players looking to create other crystal equipment or items.
Gauntlet Overview: The Best Way to Get the Seed
The Gauntlet is a solo minigame located in Tirannwn, specifically in the Elven city of Prifddinas. It challenges players to gather resources, craft gear, and defeat the Hunllef boss. Completing the Gauntlet rewards players with a chest, which may contain the Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed.
Gauntlet Tips:
- Preparation: Practice resource gathering to improve speed.
- Combat: Learn Hunllef’s attack patterns to avoid unnecessary damage.
- Gear: Prioritise crafting weapons and armour that maximise efficiency.
The Corrupted Gauntlet offers higher drop rates for the seed but presents a much tougher challenge, requiring faster decision-making and better preparation.
Why the Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed Is Valuable
The Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed is one of the most valuable drops in Old School RuneScape. Its value comes from its ability to create two of the strongest weapons in the game. Both the Blade of Saeldor and the Bow of Faerdhinen offer high damage output, making them essential for PvM and PvP content.
Blade of Saeldor
- Best-in-slot melee weapon for many situations.
- Ideal for bosses and slayer tasks requiring melee combat.
Bow of Faerdhinen
- Best-in-slot ranged weapon for players seeking high damage and accuracy.
- Perfect for bosses like Vorkath and Zulrah.
Final Thoughts on the OSRS Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed
The Enhanced Crystal Weapon Seed is a must-have item for players looking to upgrade their gear with some of the most powerful weapons in OSRS. Whether you craft the Blade of Saeldor or the Bow of Faerdhinen, both options provide immense value in combat situations. For those prioritising crystal shards, exchanging the seed with Amrod is another worthwhile option. Mastering the Gauntlet remains the best way to obtain this valuable item.
