What are Uncommon Aether Tools?

Upgrades Weapon Rarity to Uncommon

Consuming an Uncommon Aether Tool will upgrade your weapon's rarity to Uncommon, granting a decent amount of additional bonus damage for it.

This bonus damage should be more than enough when you're just exploring and completing contracts in the Low Threat Zone. Difficult zones such as Medium and High Threat may require you to use advanced Aether Tools such as the Rare, Epic, and Legendary tools.
