1. Changed again. Not really sure what's going on right now, but the previous CW system probably wasn't too popular.
8. Much easier now. Drag and drop the Silver Baron sabre onto the Claude NPC and he will upgrade it to the Enhanced Silver Baron (lvl40, 18AR, 187ATK, with +10aspd innate bonus) at the cost of 100 Magical Orbs, 100 Elemental Orbs, and 1 general grade Abrasive. The weapon itself isn't of much use even for low level families, but this is another one of those "hidden" mini-quest-event things that some people like.
