Oden tree · Tempering queue · runes & reforge
Preludes 15 extends the Oden weapon tree (e.g. Veilk, Ilverac, Vrusht-IX) and adds Chordstone refinement at Tuvalkane alongside legacy Tempering queues.
P15 splits endgame crafting into two stations — do not confuse them:
| Station | Where | What it does | |---------|--------|----------------| | Cast / Refine (Chordstones) | Tuvalkane — Refine tab | Spend Chordstones on a weapon to uplift Craftwork and roll Tempers on whole-weapon drops or migrated Stock/Noble gear | | Cast (Chordstone ingots) | Tuvalkane — Cast tab | Forge Chordstone tiers; higher tiers need Lampyrites from sieges (incl. Turret Jotar) | | Tempering (metal queue) | Nightfold forge — Temper tab | Legacy metal upgrade loop — timers, Moranite-heavy jobs |
Deep walkthrough: Chordstone refining guide · Noble shop rotation: Zenith Noble weapons · Forge setup: Unlock Tuvalkane.
Hotfix 5 and later patches may rename tabs or costs — confirm Cast vs Refine vs Temper labels in your client.
Oden gear is themed around the Kingdom of Ode: hollow alloys, sigil shields, and weapons that pair with the Ode Tempest pact line. You will see Oden items unlock as you progress Duelo and late Fables (see Main quest).
Unlike starter Dendrit weapons, Oden pieces often demand higher Virtue gates and rare metals — plan Moranite and scrap iron routes before you commit.
Tempering remains the endgame metal loop in Preludes 15. Pair it with Chordstone Refine for weapon quality — they use different materials:
Workflow tip: queue Tempering before a Crypt of the Circade run or an Agari circuit so you never sit idle at the forge.
community catalog's dedicated
/Temperingwiki page was missing at crawl time; treat in-game tooltips as source of truth for metal costs per tier.
Community references often group these under Craftwork:
| System | Purpose | |--------|---------| | Runes | Socket-style bonuses on eligible gear (Arsenal central slot) | | Enchanting | In P15 = Runes + Totems at Nightfold Arsenal — not Joinery or Chordstone Refine | | Reforging (Joinery) | Shift Virtue attunement pips on a weapon (Tuvalkane Reforge tab) |
Reforging interacts directly with Combat mechanics — a Grace bow with extra pips behaves differently from a Courage-shifted reforge. Do not reforge your only weapon right before a boss gate.
Totems/talismans and Smite interact with runes in P15 — see Runes & enchanting and Totems P15.
| Material | Why it matters for Oden | |----------|-------------------------| | Moranite | Late sockets and high-tier upgrades | | Gossamer Quartz | Still needed for pact items and mid weapons | | Scrap iron | Bulk crafting fuel | | Lampyrite | Chordstone Cast tiers — siege/Cogah routes |
Full routes: Material farming and Elite hunting for Moranite from Agari.
If you are still on Garren Rood or starter weapons, finish Torment Stag and mid-game farms before respeccing entirely into Oden.
Loot rework is live: most 1–2★ weapons drop fully built with Tempers; refine with Chordstones. Pair tempering with farming routes and Preludes 15 notes. Confirm forge recipes on your client before spending stockpiles.
