In Shilla, there is a process in which you can Soulbind a weapon to your character, which essentially means as long as the weapon is equipped on your character, the item will not be lost upon Death.
Throughout the game you should end up with Sacred Spirit of <name>. They are random drops that happen by any monster who has an alignment to <name>. Store them when you can.
Once you can access New Shilla, you can do this quest.
This is now the old version of the quest:
You will go to the Druid Temple and to the Spirit Shrine. You will be asked to do a number of quests.
- Symbol of Earth - Go to the New Shilla temple of Earth.
- Symbol of Air - Go to the New Shilla temple of Air
- Symbol of Water - Go to the New Shilla temple of Water.
- Symbol of Fire - Go to the New Shilla temple of Fire
The last one is an either/or between the Symbol of Good or the Symbol of Evil. If you are high enough of a player, you can hunt Astral and Umbral Planes for either one, or lower players might have better luck picking and choosing monsters from the Promissed Islands.
Once you have the 5 quests done, you can go back to the temple, they'll ask you to go to the Forge in New Shilla, come back and you should have the Symbol of Spirit.
Now the new quest is:
You will go to the Druid Temple and to the Spirit Shrine, from there go E and then N.
Once there you are asked if you have all 4 symbols. If you do, you can trade them for a spirit one all at once
Use that to imbue your weapon, the amount of gold needed is a hard 50% of whatever is the gold on hand + gold in bank. Then you should have a permanent weapon attached to you as long as you keep it equipped.
Note that if you manage to get the spirit symbol to drop from a creature with spirit align, you can just use that to soul bind directly without needing to do the quest described above.
Jewelry:
You can now also SB amulets and rings that provide resistance to a certain alignment.
You do this in the temple for the align that the item provides resist to.
Example: take your astral pendant to the good temple.
The cost to SB 1 piece of jewelry is 1% of all your gold (on hand + bank)
