Artisan's Hammer Award help

So, the requirements for this achievement seem really value. It could be super easy or difficult. Do you need to fully upgrade 10 different weapons for 10 different weapon classes to obtain it and have 5 Fully graded sets of G rank armor or is it just 10 different weapon classes and 5 pieces of G rank armor fully upgraded? Clarification and tips would be very appreciated. I have all but 4 of the achievements and as a completionist, that can't stand.

You need to have 10 fully upgraded weapons, for each class (I think rarity 6 is the lowest?).And 5 G Rank pieces for each slot. (Head, Chest, Arms, Waist, Legs). You don't need 5 FULL sets, just 5 each for each slot. Making duplicate armors and weapons count towards the award. Event weapons and armor don't count.

If all you need is one full armor set that is fully upgraded. Why would you have more then one set of armor then?

I thought the achievement also needed rarity 9 or higher for the gear

Lol you're misunderstood. It's not one full armor set. You need 5 armors of each slot upgraded fully. So you need 5 helmets, 5 chests, 5 arms, 5 waists, and 5 legs all fully upgraded to the max value.

That's what I thought originally. Okay cool

To there max value. Does that include using Tru Armor Spheres?

I would assume so

Demon's Isle. LBG: Rarety 4.

I haven't checked out any other weapons or weapon classes, but I'm sure there are more.

I think for the award, weapon rarity needs to be at 6 at the lowest. But I'm not sure.

Oh. Well that's crappy. Also, do the Sword Saint Earring and the Barrage Earring count for fully upgraded G Rank helmets?

No, using Tru SPheres does not add to the requirements. You need 5 G Rank pieces for each armor slot. They don't have to be upgraded.

See, now this confuses me with Jhen Mohran weapons and Alatreon weapons.
Are they considered event weapons because of materials gained only from event quests?

They are not event weapons.

That simplifies things

The event weapons are the ones that use tickets to create a weapon only. Jhen+ and Alatreon have materials for armor, weapons (for almost each class) and decorations
