For the quest Inheritance, The ws Dimidiation does not count for creating a skillchain! or even for opening! I just wasted a day attempting to complete the quest using this ws. please allow it to work for those who try to unlock it in the future.
Now that im not so flustered more detailed account.
Details:
Attempting to break the latent on Sword of Trials, to complete the quest Inheritance, I used Dimidation as it produces a light skill chain when paired with itself. This however failed break the latent or impact the weaponskill points needed at all, I performed well over 50 Light skillchains. after talking with my ls i decided to switch to Hard Slash and repeated for 300 weaponskill points checking after every 5 ws to see if the latent had broken, it finally broke when i reached the 300 point mark as if i had not done a single ws before starting the hard slash spamming. This to me shows that Dimidation does not count for weaponskill points i believe it to be a small over sight that it was not added to the list when it was created i have not tested it yet but i would think this same bug exists on the GEO ws Exudation
Steps:
Perform Dimidiation followed by Dimidation to create light repeat 50 times Latent fails to break. Perform Dimidiation repeat 300 times Latent fails to break
