Anomaly Quest Rewards

Anomaly Tickets

Upon completing a set number of Anomaly Quests, Bahari the Scientist will give you an Anomaly Ticket. This item is one of the essential Materials for crafting Rarity 10 Weapons, so be sure to talk with Bahari as soon you see a new speech bubble.

Afflicted Materials

Afflicted Materials can be found as Carves and Drops from Afflicted Monsters or as Quest Rewards. The Afflicted Materials are not exclusive to any specific Afflicted Monster, but can each be obtained from a specific subset of Afflicted Monsters.

Afflicted Materials can be used in many ways: reach Rarity 10 weapons, Qurious Crafting, and endgame Decorations. Anomaly Quests are unique from investigations in that they have a MR 10 requirement, making them the only way to get Afflicted Materials without grinding research levels.
List of All Afflicted Materials

Used to Reach Rarity 10

Almost all Rarity 10 Weapons require Afflicted Materials from Afflicted Monsters, alongside Anomaly Tickets.
Sunbreak Weapons List: All Weapon Guides

Used for Qurious Crafting (Augmenting)

All Afflicted Materials can be used to augment your weapons and armor at the Smithy. You can put in many types of improvements which boost your stats and decoration slots.

Used for Decorations

A bunch of endgame decorations, such as Phoenix Jewel 2 and Cornerstone Jewel 1, can only be unlocked and crafted once you obtain certain Afflicted Materials.
