I haven't been doing much testing of any new Blacksmith recipes. Since I haven't seen ANY hints from KANO in VC or PC, I don't have much information to go on. Anyways, here's what the game tells us about the Skyshine Blade:
Location - Vanaheim
Unlocks At - Level 300
Attack 50 / Defense 50
Narrowing down that Level 300 item is the easiest part.
Vanaheim unlocks at Level 220 and Niflheim unlocks at Level 360. If you look at the adventures (there are 7 of them), you see that they appear to unlock every 20 levels.
- Jormungandr - opens with Vanaheim at level 220
- (no drop) - level 240
- This opens the Vanaheim Challenge. At level 240, we know it won't be a Challenge drop.
- Njord Hook - level 260
- This is used in another recipe. Thus far, we've seen that ingredients aren't duplicated (except for gifts) in any recipe.
- Njord Ship - level 280
- Battle Etin - level 300
- dingdingding!!! We have a winner!
- Hugin and Munin - level 320
- Skidbladnir - level 340
- Niflheim opens - level 360
The Battle Etin has Attack 21 / Defense 24. That's not even half of the Skyshine Blade's power. But the level matches up...
We know recipes use at least 2 items. It's a fair guess that a gift is used.
I HIGHLY doubt that the gift is Freyja's Tears or Poison Arrows. The Arrows are consumed in two different recipes and the Tears are consumed in another with a fourth recipe not consuming them.
