• Relic Bow: Yoichinoyumi
  

Notes

• Obtaining this weapon is a very hard and tedious quest. It will require an amount of devotion and sacrifice that most can not meet. The following coins are required, per stage, to complete this weapon, starting from stage 2 to stage 5(final product).

• • Stage 2: 4 - Montiont Silverpiece
  • Stage 3: 15 - Montiont Silverpiece
  • Stage 4: 61 - Lungo-Nango Jadeshell
  • Stage 5: 1 - Ranperre Goldpiece

• This weapon requires a total of 18,000 coins from dynamis.

• This is an estimation of the cost.

-Assume that each individual 1 byne bill costs 7k, and both of the individual whiteshells, and bronzepieces cost 10k.

This weapon will cost you 176,000,000.

-If you assume that the 1 bynes are 7k and the whiteshells and bronzepieces are 12k.

This weapon will cost you 211,200,000.

• The high cost of this weapon is due to the fact that unlike all of the other weapons, this one does not require coins from all 3 cities. One Byne Bills are not used in this weapon's quest.

Notes

Originally wielded during the Shadowreign era by Laisavie X Berlends.

Historical Background

Yoichinoyumi (与一の弓), "Yoichi's bow", comes from a Japanese story of the Samurai, Nasu no Yoichi. He was a Lord of the Minamoto clan during the Genpei War against the Taira/Heike. During the shore battle of Yashima, the Taira placed a mystical fan atop one of their warships, and claimed it protected them from ballistic fire and could even divert the arrows back to their enemies; they made a challenge against the Minamoto to try and take it down. Yoichi mounted a horse and entered the waters. Despite the tide, the wavering of his mount, and the teetering of the fan's ship, with a single arrow he was able to shoot and split the fan. Because of the marvelousness of the shot, both sides of the confrontation cheered Yoichi's mastery of archery.
