Splitbolt is a Rare Polearm rune slotted in the Utility slot. It summons a barrage of spears dealing 100% of Weapon Damage each, with additional projectiles in fragmented form — the rune of forked lightning, strengthened in fragmentation. Best farm route: Kabocha in Cogah hard mode — ring the green bell at Wevetwood arena after consuming The Cogah elixir (crafted from Agaric Mushrooms dropped by Agari). Kabocha is a world Agari boss with standard respawn timers; Cogah mode increases both drop rates and enables Splitbolt as a unique rune drop. Alternate source: Gourdo in Cogah mode — also drops Splitbolt on drop tables. Rotate between Kabocha and Gourdo Cogah encounters to maximize kill opportunities per Cogah elixir session. Both bosses also drop other valuable materials — Kabocha drops Basker's Wrest Fragment, Sineculum, and Dracs, while Gourdo drops Dracs and Life Elixirs. No merchant stocks Splitbolt. The Polearm Utility slot makes this a sought-after rune for spear and polearm users who want area damage in their kit.
Wevetwood arena — ring the green bell · Craft The Cogah elixir; ring the green bell at Wevetwood
Gourdo arena — ring the bell · Craft The Cogah elixir; ring the bell at Gourdo arena
