Rare Garren Rood trident polearm — Spirit 19 on the Courage virtue track with the highest listed Spirit polearm ATK in catalog. Post-Preludes 15: 69 ATK, 52 stagger for heavy stagger tech on large foes. Requires 2 fragments from Vadagar Stag (night-only corruption pools north of Mines of Borro; not a 30-minute Agari respawn timer). Craft at Tuvalkane with Scrap Brass×20, Sappheline×8, and Moranite×8 (10h, 2500 Dracs). Zenith merchant fragment backup at 230 Dracs. Upgrade from Rook (11 Spirit) or skip Vasp-IV if you are stacking Spirit on Courage Garren Rood / Tethren melee builds.
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.
