Sword Acorus is a local specialty item in Rinascita and essential for leveling Zani. The best farming locations are Ragunna City and Egla Town. You can also purchase Sword Acorus from Rosemary’s Apothecary. With only 60 needed for Zani’s maximum ascension, a single round across the map should suffice.
