Question 1

How many weapons are in Soulframe?

Accepted Answer

Soulframe Hub currently lists **51** published weapons for Preludes 14, spanning swords, bows, magick staves, shields, and new rapier lines. The table is filterable by Virtue attunement so you can shortlist realistic mains before you invest rare materials.

Question 2

Can I use any weapon with any Pact?

Accepted Answer

Yes—you can equip any weapon regardless of Pact, but **Virtue attunement** still governs damage scaling. A Pact only gates your three Arcanic skills; mismatched weapons work, yet they feel weaker until you align Virtue Points with the weapon's Courage, Spirit, or Grace lane.

Question 3

What is Virtue attunement?

Accepted Answer

Every weapon is attuned to one or more Virtues. Investing Virtue Points into the matching Virtue increases that weapon's damage output.

Question 4

How many weapons can I equip at once?

Accepted Answer

You can equip one primary weapon and one sidearm simultaneously.

Question 5

Can I upgrade weapons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bring weapon fragments and materials to Tuvalkane in the Nightfold to craft and upgrade weapons. Higher-tier recipes require Bond Level 3.

Question 6

What is a Joinery?

Accepted Answer

Since Preludes 14, Joineries enhance a weapon's Virtue attunement, providing 1 to 3 Virtue Attunement pips depending on the Joinery type.

Question 7

How do I get weapon fragments?

Accepted Answer

Fragments drop from enemies, quest rewards, and Siege events. Collect enough fragments, then craft the full weapon at Tuvalkane.

Question 8

What is a Rune?

Accepted Answer

Since Preludes 14, Runes activate on a Heavy Attack. Smiting enemies banks a charge that you can use to trigger the Rune effect at will.

Question 9

What is a Totem?

Accepted Answer

Totems are passive bonuses applied to weapons. They are obtained by charming or rescuing animals in the world.

Question 10

Can I mix weapons of different Virtues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can equip any weapon regardless of Virtue, but mismatched attunement will result in lower damage. Experienced players often swap weapons based on enemy resistances.

Question 11

What are Rapiers?

Accepted Answer

Rapiers are a weapon type added in Preludes 14 with their own unique moveset. The signature weapons are Navalha and Espadarte.

Question 12

What is Gossamer Quartz and how do I farm it?

Accepted Answer

Gossamer Quartz is a key crafting material. The most reliable source is Crypts of the Circade (50% drop from sarcophagi with a Crypt Key). It also drops from rare chests and broken statue repairs.

Question 13

What is Virtue attunement in Soulframe?

Accepted Answer

Virtue attunement tags each weapon with Courage, Spirit, or Grace scaling. Invest points in the matching Virtue—and align your Pact—to reach full damage; mismatched gear still works but hits softer.

Question 14

How many weapon types are in Soulframe?

Accepted Answer

Preludes 14 tracks nine families on Soulframe Hub: Long Blades, Short Blades, Greatswords, Polearms, Rapiers, Bows, Magick, Shields, and Flyblades—51 published weapons in total.

Question 15

How do you get weapons in Soulframe?

Accepted Answer

Farm weapon fragments from enemies, quests, and Sieges, then craft the full weapon at Tuvalkane in the Nightfold. Rare recipes need Bond Level 3 plus mats such as Gossamer Quartz.

Question 16

What is the best weapon for beginners in Soulframe?

Accepted Answer

Spirit starters often use Gwylen for safe range; Courage melee players lean on Wulder. Pick a weapon whose Virtue matches your Pact before spending early quartz upgrades.

Question 17

What are Virtues in Soulframe?

Accepted Answer

Virtues are Courage, Spirit, and Grace—three attribute lanes that raise weapon damage and Arcanic power when they match your Pact, weapons, and Virtue Prism choices.
