    There is a thread called 'Quick Questions? Come here for quick answers!' for a reason please use it in the future.

    The invade version of the weapon. Drops from Profound Darkness EQ or you can trade Zieg for it.
    Profound Caligula Fragments. Drops from Profound Darkness EQ as well. You can also exchange 2016 Gold Badges for them.
    Dark Nero Fragment. All Dark Falz type bosses can drop them, Elder, Loser, Hunar, etc.
    Galeru and Yurlungur crystals are from TD4 I believe.
    Heart Key, Bloody Moon, and Phantom Night spellstones are from XQs.
    Excubes pretty self explanatory
    Photon Boosters I can only think of 2016 Badge exchange shop

    *edit*
    Oh god I didn't even see that part. Dude don't ask questions for end game gear when you are still 'new'.

    Galeru and Yurlungur crystals are from Nab and Lilipa UQ or can be bought with Casino Coins or 2016 gold badges.
    Spellstones can also randomly appear in the Treasure shop.

    I should warn OP (whether he's intent on getting one or just merely curious), since he's new and and just starting out, meaning that he has minimal resources at his disposal, that getting an Austere Weapon is no joke, and can be a VERY time/resources consuming process, especially since it is recommended to 10603 it (potential level 3 unlocked up to +10, with element grinded to 60).

    OP should note that:

    Because he's new to the game this most probably means that he has very little 2016 weapon badges to trade in for the relevant stones needed to facilitate the acquisition of an Austere Weapon.

    He will need Caligulas/Neros stones.

    This also means he doesn't have enough Extreme Passes to spam FULL runs of the 3 XQ stages in order to get 5 Big stones from each of the respective stages.

    No one really runs Ult Nab/Ult Lili for Galeru/Yurlungur Stones anymore.

    He will have to find the means/resources to get 10 Photon Boosters (not too difficult).

    He will need a shit ton of Excubes to get an Austere and grind it to level 3.

    He will need Lambda Grinders.

    But the worst thing is needing to +60 its element (getting the weapon from Zieg is only +30 by default); which either means he needs to either grind for another same Austere Weapon (tedious/time consuming work all over again), buy many "Attribute Enhance +5%" for like 10 mill each and then weapon grind it with other 13*'s of the same weapon type, or simply grind the Austere's weapon's element one-by-one at time by procuring the relevant 13*s (this is were 2016 weapon badges really help).

    Simply, I want OP to know that getting an Austere Weapon from Zieg is only half the battle. If OP has been playing for a while, then the process might've been easier because he might've had some of the resources ready to go. Getting it to 10603, will take a lot of investment, particularly if he is just starting out.

    If I were in your shoes OP, I would forget about getting an Austere for the moment, and work on Collection Files. Play the game for awhile until you have accumulated the resources to get one. And when you have the resources/meseta, and the Austere Weapon Series are still relevant, than you can consider getting one.

    Austere is a top-level weapon that is being challenged in some categories.
    Acquiring an Austere Weapon requires a lot of materials, obtained from the most tedious parts of the game.
    (Think Legendary Weapons from Guild Wars 2, or top weapons from Lineage 2, only worse!)

    Worse because in both games I mentioned, a TOP weapon remains the top weapon and when new expansions or updates were released (Lineage 2), they had an upgrade system to make sure if you spent a year getting your weapon (Yes. That is how long it actually took....I remember getting two weapons before making the Legendary Armor Equivalent and Legendary Classes....Total Grindfest...)

    In this game, you don't know if a year from now the weapon will remain relevant or in the top category. It doesn't mean that it won't be a good weapon. It means if you fight to get the top weapon, it should remain the top weapon...

    What everyone said and also, I'd say get something else that resembles an austere and takes less time, simply because in 9 days the new best of the best weapons will be released and they will piss on every known weapon we have obtained so far.

    It took me a 4-5 months to get my Austere, because those darn Nero fragments weren't dropping as often as I'd like them too, despite rare boosters. Maybe I'm horribly unlucky. And on top of that, grinding out Extreme Quests for the stones was a complete chore, and I actually like the XQ format.

    But really, don't worry about getting an Austere if you're new, we're getting newer weapons that may or may not be on par or even better soon enough, and I'd say you should focus more on finding a class you like and really getting to know it's play style, worry about getting top tier gear once you're ready for it. Take it slow, enjoy the game, and learn over time. It's great to jump into a game ready to go, but don't burn yourself out.

    Another thing..
    Treasure your newb days...

    Take it one step at a time, because those days of being "young" in a game won't last forever.
