Weapon overview
Clivers
Short Blades · Grace · Common
Dendrit twinblade sidearms requiring Courage 12 and Grace attunement. Fragments drop from Etheldred The Weaver and Seachnall encounters, as well as standard Glades containers (Barrels, Baskets, Crates, Collector Crates). Craft at Tuvalkane using Knotwood×25 and Sproutfolk Frond×25 (10h). The magnetic twinblade design pulls blades together on combo finishers, creating a distinctive closing animation that can catch retreating foes. Post-Preludes 15: 25 ATK, 5% smite chance. Shares the Etheldred fragment weave line with Vetch and Virdigris, making concurrent farming efficient for players building multiple blade types from the same Glades route. A reliable early Courage short blade for dual-wield pressure builds.
Mockery serpentine longsword requiring Courage 14 and Spirit attunement. Fragments drop from Armoured Mockery, Deadwood Mockery, and Thrice-Bound Impidh encounters, plus Dendrit Chests in the Glades. Craft at Tuvalkane using Knotwood×25 and Sproutfolk Frond×25 (10h). The serpentine blade geometry widens the sweep arc, giving an edge against grouped Mockery foes where lateral reach matters. Post-Preludes 15: 48 ATK, 30 poise break. Shares the Mockery fragment farm line with Nurash — both can be crafted from the same Glades farming route, making it efficient for Courage melee builds that want a Spirit-attuned companion blade alongside a Grace-attuned one.
