Hand-to-Hand Trials

Hand-to-Hand Trials are divided into several categories:

• Physical/Empyrean Trials reward either with a completed Empyrean weapon or weapons with specialized augments that improve their physical damage.
• Elemental Trials reward weapons aligned to certain element/attribute pairs (fire yields str/attack, etc).
• Weapon Skill Trials augment weapons specifically to improve the potency of weapon skills.
• Mythic/Relic Trials upgrade Relic Weapons and Mythic Weapons past their level 75 forms to more powerful versions suitable to higher level content.

To begin a physical or empyrean trial, pick up a pair of Pugilists from the Splintery Chest in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-5) and trade it to the Magian Moogle to start the trials. If all you want is to learn Victory Smite via Kupofried's Hand-to-Hand Moogle Magic, pick up a pair of Dumuzis -1, instead. To begin Weapon Skill Trials, pick up a pair of Barracudas from the same chest.

To begin a Relic or Mythic trial, trade that weapon to the Magian Moogle.

All monsters are required to give experience points to count towards trial completion (excluding Notorious Monsters). You must be within experience point range to receive credit for the kill.
