Weapon overview
Falx
Long Blades · Courage · Uncommon
Falx is an Uncommon Sinecure arcblade (cleaver-style Long Blade) requiring 12 Courage, valued for its wide sweep attacks and solid 54 base ATK with 34 stagger and 5% smite chance. Farm fragments from Flayed Reaper (the primary target — drops both whole previews and fragments), or from The Organ world event when towers are active. Container drops include Barrels, Baskets, Crates, and Polearm Racks in Sinecure-controlled zones. Craft at Tuvalkane with Ode Graphite, Scrap Brass, and Ichor (10h). Purchase from Avakot for 220 Dracs. The Falx serves as the upgrade from Vetch and bridges to Marrow's Bane (Rare, 21 Courage) for dedicated Courage builds. Compared to Stultin (53 ATK, 16 Courage), Falx offers a lower virtue gate at 12 Courage with nearly identical damage output. The three spire studs on the blade — originally a manufacturing defect where molten metal seeped from injection points — became the weapon's signature strength. Effective against grouped enemies due to cleaver-style sweep pattern.
Dendrit longsword requiring Courage 11 and Grace attunement. Fragments drop from Etheldred The Weaver encounters, Deadwood Mockery foes, and Dendrit Chests scattered through the Glades. Craft at Tuvalkane using Knotwood×25 and Sproutfolk Frond×25 (10h). The thrusting heavy attack extends reach beyond standard slash arcs, making it effective against Mockery-type foes that resist lateral swings. Post-Preludes 15: 48 ATK, 30 poise break, 5% smite chance. Serves as the first real Courage longsword upgrade from the starter Wulder, bridging into the Etheldred fragment line shared with Clivers and Virdigris.
