Weapon overview
Espadarte
Long Blades · Grace · Uncommon
Uncommon Sirin Long Blade rapier requiring 6 Courage and 8 Grace, with 46 ATK and 26 stagger. Obtain previews or fragments through the Siege of Mirifuir, then finish it at Tuvalkane. The Mirifuir siege drops the whole weapon as a ground preview rather than fragments, so a single successful siege run can complete it outright; Zenith's Wares (245 Dracs) covers players who'd rather buy than farm. Its Rapier moveset favors fast pokes over the wide arcs of standard Long Blades, rewarding aggressive Grace playstyles that want to punish openings quickly.
Common Oscelda Magick staff — the Spirit pact starter after Rise, Envoy. Craft at the Blacksmith with Scrap Iron×15, Ode'n Synsylk×20, and Gossamer Quartz×15 (4h, 1500 Dracs). Post-Preludes 15: 40 ATK with Spirit attunement and no Virtue gate, bridging you into charged spell rotations. Barrels, Baskets, and Crates can roll whole-staff previews on Midrath patrols while you gather craft mats. Upgrade targets on Oscelda Spirit lines: The Alder for an early staff bump, then Seathorn (18 Spirit + Grace) for crypt sarcophagus fragment farming and higher charged burst. Gwylen pairs with the Oscelda, Garren Rood, Orengall, and Wyld Oscelda pacts and is one of only three Virtue-gate-free starter weapons (alongside Thistle and Nettle), making it the default pick for new Spirit casters. Lore describes it as an alder witching-staff hand-shaped — not carved — by Aureli gardeners over a lifetime, tuned to channel magic through its living curves.
