Micro Tomestone
10x Rowena's Token (Scripture)
Illuminati Deepest Gobdip

Talk to Bertana to her right and choose the category Shire Gear Exchange. Buy the Shire Longbow. Don't equip it yet.

Go to (6.7, 7.4) and talk to Seika. Choose Improve Shire Gear, then Shire Gear Augmentation (DoW) II. Exchange the Shire Longbow and Illuminati Deepest Gobdip for the Augmented Shire Longbow.


I don't recall if these NPCs will all have their shops available to you without finishing the 3.0 story, but consider doing this as soon as they're available. Upgrading to a 270 weapon will easily double your DPS, or more, compared to the Atma weapon (which is really a 90 weapon with 100 written on it in sharpie until you've finished all the books).
Exactly that, could always go back to mor dhona and pick up the ilvl 120 ironworks weapon and upgrade it to 130, then you could keep that weapon till you're able to enter the The Aery at level 55 or the Vault at level 57. Or you could just go all the way to 60, even so I don't recommend it, but it would be a possibility if you don't want to rush your MSQ for weapon upgrades, or planning on maybe picking up some of the weapons for other jobs etc. and at 60, Rongway explained the now easiest route of obtaining an ilvl 270 weapon lol.
