you know.. i've never quite understood why starter weapons have no element until you awaken them. just as pink fatalis said there are no armors early enough in the game to unlock awaken so why even have them? when will anyone downgrade to a noob weapon just to get a piddly amount of an element or status effect? it seems kinda useless to me... maybe they should have put awaken earlier in the game if they have weapons for it.
