Haze Seas Awakening
How fruit awakening works in Haze Seas — the Poneglyph, the 300-mastery requirement, and every awakening material including Gear 4, Gear 5 and the gear 5 rework.
How awakening works
Awakening is the biggest single power spike for a fruit. Grind a fruit to 300 mastery, then talk to the Poneglyph while holding its awakening material. Each path needs a different boss-dropped item, so plan the farm before you arrive.
