Returning player asking for help regarding weapon

[Marihel]

Hello everyone!

I haven't been playing BnS for years now, and everything is 1000% super confusing. I wanted to jump in and knock down an easy daily, Cold Storage, but when queueing up it tells me I need a Grand Celestial Weapon. 

 

So far, so good. The problem is I do not have enough Solar Energy to purchase the orbs to create it, but I cannot do the dailies to get more as it locks me out of dungeons. So what am I supposed to do now? Is there any other way for me to get Solar Energy?

Have you finished the story? I thought they had added the GC3 weapon to the quest rewards. And you should get lots more free gear from there, even before taking advantage of the Soul Boost event.

Yeah, I entirely forgot this game had a main quest that actually gets updated. My bad. I've finished it now, and I did get the weapon!

I didn't get the weapon because it seems that I did part of the yellow that gives the weapon before they added the weap??? I am so confused...

you can transmute Grand Celestial stones to weapon, the last part of story gives upgrade material for that weapon
