▲After you return to Astera, you will be able to accept the Deviljho quest from the Scholars.

You can craft Vangis α and β with the materials you looted from hunting the Deviljho. Both Vangis α and β come with skills such as Part Braker, Latent Power, Speed Eating, etc that refers to the Deviljho.

▲ How Vangis β looks like and the skill set.

Also, besides the armors, a total of 14 different weapons can be crafted with materials looted from the Deviljho. The Deviljho weapons mostly have high AP but they have high stats of minus Affinity like that of the Diablo weapons so you will need Affinity-based settings.

Once you craft it, you upgrade it to a Rarity 7 weapon with just one upgrade, and 2 Augment upgrades can be made. Also, all weapons have the High Level of the Elderseal option for the Dragon Element, which will be especially effective when hunting monsters weak against the Dragon Element
