Editing Photon Drop (section)

==Usage==
By talking to Hopkins in {{Quest link|Gallon's Shop}} with at least one Photon Drop in the inventory, he will take you to Paganini, where you can exchange them either for one of a selection of items depending on the number of Photon Drops held, or for two other unlockable services he can offer.

===Item exchange===
'''WARNING: Only carry the ''minimum'' amount of Photon Drops needed in your inventory, as Paganini will take ''all'' of them for the trade.'''
You will be asked to confirm the exchange multiple times before it is finalized.

This exchange is notable for the {{Tool|rare|Photon Sphere}} (among other things) that allows the player a faster and more cost-effective option of [[Gallon's_Shop#Adding_attributes_to_weapons|adding attributes to weapons]], as a Photon Sphere may be used to add 30% to a single attribute (as long as the attribute is 70% or less), instead of spending 100 Photon Drops to add only 25% to that attribute.

===Photon Hoard===
:''Main article: [[Photon Hoard]]''
A stack of 99 Photon Drops can be condensed into a {{Tool|rare|Photon Hoard}}, a rare tool unique to ''Ephinea'', by speaking with an NPC in military garb in {{Quest link|Gallon's Shop#Photon Hoard|Gallon's Shop}}. 

Photon Hoards serve the purpose of allowing players to store and trade large amounts of Photon Drops at a time. One Photon Hoard can be disassembled back into a stack 99 Photon Drops by speaking to the same NPC. The character must not be holding any Photon Drops in their inventory at the time to do this.
