If you have an excess of Paradisan Ladder, you can craft one Hylea's Talon using four units at your party camp's workbench. Alternatively, if you possess Admeth's Wyrt, navigate to the "Downgrade" tab next to the "Upgrade Materials" option to convert this higher-level herb into Hylea's Talon.

Breaking Down Items

For upgraded items you no longer need, whether self-upgraded or purchased, you can gain additional Hylea's Talon by breaking them down through the inventory menu. This method is applicable only to "Exceptional" quality or higher weapons and armor. Be sure to review the "Break Down" section of their item descriptions to see what materials you'll receive.
