    Three questions about aetherpool weapons

    Hi, I desperately need the crimson glowy katana. Three questions as I sit at work unable to check things in game and finding a lot of old info about a system that has clearly changed over time.

    1) Are Aetherpool grips universally earned and applied between PotD and HoH options? Are they the same currency just honored by different vendors, awarded by different NPCs?

    2) Is there still a path to the crimson Kinna katana, and if so what is it exactly? As inferred by question 1 I am pretty sure I have a pool that will add up to 100 between PotD and HoH, so if that helps me how do I apply it?

    3) Can it be turned into a glamor? I realize this may be obvious but before I get my hopes up it’s worth asking.

    Thanks in advance for any and all helpful replies!

    They're seperate for each area. Same for the max of 99/99 you can get in them. Each gives different loot too

    First you get to 30/30 for the base Padjali weapon, then you need another 60/60 to spend on it to upgrade it to Kinna for Palace of the Dead

    Everything in the game can be used as glamour, as long as it's a lower item level than the item you're glamouring over. (ilvl 130 weapon can be glamoured over anything higher, but not anything lower than it, so you can't use many things at low levels for glamour)

    So there’s no HoH equivalent to the Padjali to Kinna progression, making a total of 3 potential permanent appearances per weapon?

    Yeah, the HoH weapon is a completely separate entity. If I recall correctly, you trade in aetherpool for a token, and after you get enough tokens you can trade them in for a HoH weapon.

    HoH just has Empyrean Aetherpool weapons. They let you trade in 10/10 power at a time for the weapon you're working towards, and then when you get it to whatever the requirement is... I think 100/100 spent, you get an i365 version of the weapon you were working towards.

    They keep the same appearance at all aetherpool levels in HoH, so that's that.

    Like others said. The HoH one is on its own with no upgrading it. You need to give up a total of 100/100 though (You trade 10/10 at a time for one empyrean aetherpool grip and need to do that 10 times)

    All are ilvl 365 too (One ilvl for every day of the normal year)
