Raise a weapon type to maximum, and then get 500 kills.

Unverified. This requires a save in Empire Mode with edited characters and experience enabled.

1. Train your edited characters to whatever extent your wish in Empire Mode.

2. Delete the character(s) you want to be replaced and make your new character(s). Save your change when the game asking.

3. Clear Empire Mode with the save you trained your characters in and save.

All your edited characters will instantly reach whatever rank and stats the characters in your Empire Mode game have, even if the new characters are completely different.

Finish Dong Zhou in the Luo Yang Scenario.

You must complete Empire Mode once.

You must complete A Divided Land Scenario.

Once you get to level 4, you must get 500 kills.

You must complete Empire Mode once.

You must finish the Battle of Guan Du Scenario.

To earn the level 4 weapons, you must use 'all smith' order in Empire mode. You also need to have a ton of gold. When you do the 'all smith' order, continue until the smithing level of your domain is level 4. An easy way to retain a lot of gold is to keep winning battles until your ruler is promoted to the level of a king.

Once you have smithing at level 4, choose and offcer and invade another force. A good level to play on to get your 4th level weapon is Bei Ping since it is a small level and doesn't have much ground for you to wander around in. Add enough soldiers to insure your own main camp does not fall. Train the character you want a level 4 weapon for so his stats are high or close to max.

Press START for unit info and order all your sub-ordinate officers to guard your main camp. Your character on the other hand, should single-handedly rack up 500 kills. Go and take over the enemy bases yourself and take down the enemy commander. Once you do that, a post-battle award will be a level four weapon.
