Phantom Blade Zero upgrade calculator: Remnant Dust and materials

Quick answer

Upgrading a weapon from 1 to 30 costs 286,740–358,425 Remnant Dust depending on the weapon, and a Phantom Edge 170,240–357,504. In the New Cycle (New Game+) the cap rises to 60: getting there costs 2,036,340–2,545,425 per weapon. Pick your items below and the calculator gives you the Dust, the materials and what buying them costs.

Calculate your upgrade

How to go past level 30

In the first playthrough everything stops at 30. In the New Cycle (New Game+), getting a weapon or Edge you already had again raises its cap by 5 levels and adds a +1 after its name: +1 = 35, +2 = 40… up to +6 = 60. Starting the cycle is not enough: you have to find the item again.

⚠️ Note: sources do not fully agree on how many cycles it takes to reach +6. We will check it in the game.

Where do you get the most Dust?

Dust dropped by the best enemy in each region (Metabot, from the game files). The Treasure Basin gives +10% (+20% polished).

  • Crimson Forest: 5,090–5,110 per enemy
  • Mirage Estate: 5,090–5,110 per enemy
  • Meigu Lake: 4,490–4,510 per enemy
  • Mountain of Imprisonment: 4,190–4,210 per enemy
  • Mandate Encampment: 3,590–3,610 per enemy
  • Pangzhen: 1,590–1,610 per enemy

From level 21 on, the materials are "Flawless" and only available in Mirage Estate (sold by Zhang at his hideout, according to Metabot).

Total cost of every weapon and Phantom Edge
