Tachi: Rana

Kogarasumaru

The Kogarasumaru Mythic Weapon has the Tachi: Rana weapon skill built in. In addition, using Tachi: Rana with a Kogarasumaru creates an aftermath effect of increasing your Attack and Accuracy.

Unlocking a Myth

Tachi: Rana can be used without a Kogarasumaru, however. Like Tachi: Kasha, it can be unlocked with weapon skill points.

To obtain Tachi: Rana for use with other Great Katanas, you can complete the quest Unlocking a Myth (Samurai). To do so, obtain a Windslicer from Nyzul Isle (a fairly common drop), equip it and talk to Zalsuhm in Lower Jeuno (inside Muckvix's Junk Shop).

Once you have the quest, you can earn Weapon Skill Points by performing weapon skills and skillchains with the Windslicer. How many points you need to earn depends on what floor of Nyzul Isle Investigations is saved on your Runic Disc.

The forumula for earning points is the same as with Tachi: Kasha:

You get one (1) point every time you use a weapon skill. You get two (2) points for completing a level one skilchain. You get three (3) points for completing a level two skillchain, and five (5) points for completing a level three skillchain.

Once you earn enough weapon skill points. Note that if you earn 250 weapon skill points and then advance to Floor 100 of Nyzul Isle using your own Runic Disc, you will

You can talk to Zalsuhm again once you have enough points. If you do, he'll say, "You've done it! Energy is overflowing as though the floodgates have burst open!" Once that happens, you'll have access to Tachi: Rana on any Great Katana.
