Appraisal Items can be obtained as quest and bonus rewards, usually through Field Surveys and Investigations. Optional Quests may also reward them.

Orbs are converted to randomly generated decorations and weapon shards are converted to Artian weapon parts immediately after the quest in the Appraisal Box.

How to Use Damaged Weapon Shards

Weapon Shards are only obtainable as rewards from hunting tempered monsters. The rarity of the obtained Artian parts depends on the Weapon Shard, which scales with the number of stars for the quest.

Appraisal Items can also be obtained by using the Melding Pot. You can use this facility to convert unwanted decorations or relics into potentially more powerful ones. This is also the only way to get Old Weapon Shards that guarantee a Rarity 8 Artian part of a specific type.
