I know, not another "Breakdown" by this freak, well I have one thing to say to those people who seem to be hating, [COLOR="Red"]:mad: WDF is wrong with you. I am giving you the base facts on topics that are usually left in the dark. Oh and thats right I said WDF, because I am cool like that and you are not :D Now back to my fans, I will be talking(more like texting) about Egos :D.

Ego means Spirit weapon. A spirit weapon is a weapon that has, well a spirit in it and that spirit grows, learns and becomes stronger.
Not every weapon is egoable.

Now that you know what weapon you need we will get into how to prep your weapon, so it can be a house for a spirit.
You will need to "Prof" your weapon. Now proffing happens when you use your weapon. It basically experience for your weapon. Now prof is used to upgrade or ego your weapon, NOT BOTH! If you upgrade your weapon it can't be egoed and vice versa.
Now you will need to get your proficiency up to 100 for it to be able to be egoed.
You will also need to lower your weapons durability(WHAT DID HE JUST SAY LOWER MY WEAPONS DURABILITY?!?! IS THIS GUY ON DRUGS?) Well to your first questions yes that is what I said and for your second question, I am not legally alowd to say :P. Well anyways stick with me. In order to make your weapon egoable it needs to have 80% of its USUAL durability(in other words, if you get a blacksmithed broadsword with like 16 dura, it still needs to have 10 durability when you are ready to ego it). As people have posted below, you don't need to have it at the egoable durability untill after it reachs 100 prof, but you can still get it to that dura(though not recommended, because if your weapons dura gets lower then the egoable number, then the only use for it is ego food.) There is a chart below.
And lastly you can not have Eiry. If you have that annoying freak,who counts as a spirit weapon, then you can not get another spirit weapon. This rule applies for all spirit weapons.

Now that we understand the first step of getting a ego lets look into the pros and cons before we get too deep in and then you find out your not properly suited for a ego YET
[SIZE="4"]Pros:[/SIZE]
1. Much stronger! Like insanely stronger.
2. The more you feed it the stronger it gets.
3. At a certain social level it can be summoned to attack. For more information go to:
Spirit Weapon Awakening - Mabinogi World Wiki
4. Can help you find "things", as the more you feed it the more it learns.
[SIZE="4"]Cons:[/SIZE]
1. If you don't feed it, then its stats will decrease.
2. Buying "Ego" food is expencive.
3. Repairing a ego is a pain. Read below for details.
4. Can not be stored in a bank or pet. Must be kept in your inv.
Now we know the plus and minuses, lets get into the quest to obtain one.
____________________________________
[SIZE="4"]Now I will go over the requirements for the quest below:[/SIZE]
- Weapon with 100(0%) - 100(100%) prof.
- Do not duel wield the weapon while trying to start the quest.
- 30 Elemental Removers(Which cost 1k each, or 5k for a stack of 5, which can be bought from Galvin or Price)
- A spirit stone, which if you have not done the quest below then there is no point in buying one as you will need to do it once so you can get a keyword anyways.

Now that you know what you need and what you need to do lets see the chart about egoable durability.

[SIZE="4"]Ego Feeding[/SIZE]
Ego feeding is an essential part of maintaining and improving your ego. If you don't feed it, it becomes weaker, if you do feed it, then it becomes stronger. Simple? Well what it lacks in complication, it makes up in the little red numbers at the end. So it is NOT SUGGESTED for new players or players who do not have a steady income to get an ego. Now most people like to feed their egos gems, as they are 'the most bang, for your buck". Now I am not going to get into the science of feeding, if you would like that info go here, but I will get into the basics, so you can make a more informed decision. Certain items give your ego certain stats. Its like when your character gets up a skill, except like 50 times quicker. Now alot of new ego owners will go out and buy a bunch of items and just feed their ego like crazy, which is good if your rich, but doesn't help if your on a budget. I have seen plenty of people having to have their ego rot in their inv because they can't afford to fix their armour, let alone feed their ego. So once again its all about the money. If you have money eogs are great to invest in, but if you don't then you should just check out my money making guide here. So that is the basic info on feeding your ego. Now again if you want info on the science of feeding your ego then go here and if you want to know about gems then go here.
____________________________________
[SIZE="4"]Last Section to cover is repairs. Repairing a ego is exspencive and time consumming, if you don't have NX.[/SIZE]
You will need a Spirit Liqueur which is made through potion making.
You will also need a weapon of the same type as your ego, the higher the prof, the better chance of your ego being repaired.
Now keep in mind that by using faulty proffed weapons you can decrease your egos maximum durability.
