By completing trial 217 (defeat the Golden Bat 3 times with the Sunblade equipped), it may be augmented with an Attack +3 bonus. By completing trial 218 (defeat the leech Notorious Monster Slippery Sucker 3 times with the Sunblade equipped) the attack augment may be increased to +5. By completing trial 219 (defeat Seww the Squidlimbed 4 times with the Sunblade equipped), the Sunblade may be upgraded to Albion, which via many arduous further trials may eventually become either the Empyrean Weapon Caladbolg or the "coin weapon" Xiphias which is used to learn the weapon skill Torcleaver.
