Can anyone tell me what the pink bubble requirement is for me to be able to use this sword? And how do I get it?

Paladian, an age III strategic resource, I believe.

How do I go about getting Paladian?

You can either buy it from the market after researching the technology that allows you to buy resources from the market, you can get it randomly as quest-reward or you can harvest it by researching the age III extractor-technology, settling in a region with a palladian deposit (you cannot even see the deposits before age III) and then building an extractor for palladian in that region.

Thank you Nosferatiel. I'll go give it a try and let you know if it's worked.

Those higher resource requirement weapons always seemed underpowered compared to the other Tier 3 Resource Options in my opinion.

It does seem that way a bit actually - especially since you've usually managed to Quest your way to Legendary/Tier 3 Titanium and Glassteel gear by then. I like the look of the gear though, and some of the bonuses types are neat but really when you are looking for Defence and you have a swag of glassteel in your treasury already the effort of chasing Palladian or Adamantian may not be worth it (except for the Books!)

This is true however, I need to equip the sword in order to progress with a quest. So it's something that I do need to do.
