How To Get Godr Weapon
If you want a Godr-Ayed weapon, you must first have a TET Blackstar weapon; then, exchange it for a Godr-Ayed one.
You’ll also need the item “Scorching Sun Crystal” and this can be obtained by processing the following elements:
Black Stone (Weapon) x100
Magical Shard x30
Scorching Sun Shards x10
Scorching sun shards are dropped in Calpheon Elvia grinding spot.
Once you have everything needed, follow this guide:
The quest is called the Godr-Ayed Weapon Merindora’s calling, in which you convert your TET(IV) Blackstar main weapon or awakening weapon into the Godr-Ayed weapon. You can accept this quest by summoning the black spirit while having the TET Blackstar weapon in your inventory.
Then, go to Merindora, the eldest spirit in Grána. You will need to hand over the Scorching Sun crystal and the TET Blackstar to get a sealed Godr-Ayed weapon.
Make sure your Blackstar weapon is in your inventory but not equipped.
Note: Item copy and branding will be removed from the Blackstar weapon when converting it into a Godr-Ayed weapon. Blackstar weapons copied via the item copy system cannot be used in the quest to convert into Godr-Ayed weapon.
How To Enhance Godr-Ayed Weapon
Once you get your Godr Ayed Weapon, it’ll have the same stats as your Blackstar weapon, but you’ll want to enhance it too. You’ll need Scorching Sun Gemstone to enhance the Godr-ayed weapon; here is how to create Scorching Sun Gemstone:
Use heating with Flawless Magical Black Stone x1(Sharp Black Crystal Shard x1, Hard Black Crystal Shard x1, Mass of Pure Magic x1) + Scorching Sun Shards x1 = Scorching Sun Gemstone

Highlights of a Blackstar Weapon
You can’t upgrade Blackstar Weapons using Caphras Stones.
Blackstar’s enhancement success rate is lower than that of Offin Tett or Kzarka, especially for the higher enhancements for these items.
Blackstar Enhancement PRI to PEN: This makes use of a Blackstar item that is unique to it: Flawless Magical Black Stone. This item is obtained by Life Skills, Field Bosses, Star’s End mobs, daily Calpheon quests, and Star’s End node investment. But this also requires a Mass of Pure Magic.
Blackstar Enhancement +1 to +15: This uses the weapon Concentrated Magical Black Stone.
Also, this requires you to melt three boss gear when you do the Blackstar Weapon Questline.
Requires Knowledge of the “The Three Legendary Blacksmiths of Mediah.”
This also requires the Mediah and Calpheon main story quest lines.
The steps to get this seem similar to getting the Blackstar Armor.
