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

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.

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

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

Soulframe is a free-to-play (F2P) fantasy action RPG developed by Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe. Set on the isle of Midrath, it focuses on deliberate melee combat, somber exploration, and co-op play during the Preludes pre-alpha on PC.

Preludes is Digital Extremes' name for Soulframe's current pre-alpha phase. It's an early, evolving version of the game that players can experience as it's built openly alongside the community.

Q: How many weapons are in Soulframe?

Soulframe Hub covers all Soulframe weapons across 9 types, filterable by Virtue attunement. Updated for Preludes 15.

Q: Can I use any weapon with any Pact?

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.

Q: What is Virtue attunement?

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

Q: How many weapons can I equip at once?

You can equip one primary weapon and one sidearm simultaneously.

Q: Can I upgrade weapons?

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

Q: How do I get weapon fragments?

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

Q: Can I mix weapons of different Virtues?

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.

Uncommon Wyld Sirin Short Blade from the Founders Collection — pure Grace (7 Grace), not world-farmable. Unlock via Wares of Sovereign after Wyld Sirin or Paragon Founders purchase; craft with Scrap Steel×20, Patch Leather×20, and Moranite×8 (1 fragment, 2500 Dracs). Post-Preludes 15: 41 ATK, 82 charged, 26 stagger, 4% smite — a stolen Sirin legend flame dagger. Free-to-play alternatives at similar ATK: Nettle from container previews or Witan for a hybrid Grace line. Digital Extremes has discussed future fragment sharing for other Founders weapons; verify in-client before planning cross-pack crafts.

The stolen dagger of Wyld Sirin. In the wake of the Felling, the trickster Sirin snuck an enchanted flame blade from Tethren's own mantle. With delicate archer's hands, he snaked a moonstone into its hilt, marking it as his own Cobladh Dagger. It was stolen from him by his daughter, and from her by her son. And now... It is yours.
