The Cinta’s blueprint and its component blueprints is found by solving Enigma puzzles within Duviri. These are small pillars with various symbols on them, often accompanied by Paragrimms sitting on top of them. These puzzles involve shooting various containers to acquire the three symbols listed on the pillars. They can be either solo or require another player’s teamwork to complete.

Once you get all three symbols aligned, the pillar will open and drop an array of loot. Among these will be a chance for the Cinta blueprint to drop, alongside the Grip, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, and String blueprints. Each blueprint has an equal 20% chance to drop.

Once you have all the blueprints, you’ll need the following to craft each of the four component parts:

  • Cinta Grip Blueprint
    • 40x Kovnik
    • 6x Maw Fang
    • 50x Lamentus
    • 80x Aggristone
  • Cinta Upper Limb Blueprint
    • 40x Yao Shrub
    • 60x Dracroot
    • 50x Lamentus
    • 80x Aggristone
  • Cinta Lower Limb Blueprint
    • 40x Eevani
    • 100x Ariette Scale
    • 50x Lamentus
    • 20x Silphsela
  • Cinta String Blueprint
    • 40x Connla Sprout
    • 20x Tasoma Extract
    • 50x Lamentus
    • 70x Saggen Pearl

Each of these components takes 12 hours to craft, while the main blueprint will add 12 hours for a total of 24 hours if you start building each component simultaneously. Once all that time passes, however, the Cinta will finally be yours.

Is the Cinta worth using?

The Cinta is a bow capable of firing “perfect shots”; releasing the shot right before fully charging it deals bonus damage. This will make the projectile much larger, and inflict more damage over a wider area. This is similar to the Nataruk, another bow that is acquired through a late-game main story quest. While this means the Cinta is quite strong, it is outclassed by the Nataruk thanks to the latter being a powerhouse. If you don’t have the Nataruk yet, it’s a great alternative.
