Quick verdict
Run Vetch through mid Courage progression, then swap to Marrow's Bane once you hit 21 Courage and want a Rare cleaver main—do not replace Vetch early just because Marrow's Bane lists higher base attack. Vetch is the Uncommon Dendrit Long Blade at **48 attack** with Courage+Grace attunement and only 11 Courage required (thrusting heavy attack). Marrow's Bane is the Rare Vadagar Bear cleaver at 54 attack, pure Courage, 40 stagger, and a 21 Courage gate.
Weapon overview Marrow's Bane Long Blades · Courage · Rare
A mighty claw, a dripping maw. The menacing cleaver of the Arbearer, Bromius. Five sharpened spires glint in the pale Neath'uns light. Be they the teeth of Marrow's Bane? Or the claws of the great Omen Bear himself? Wield this weapon by the Arbearer's deal: to protect the old roots yet to heal- or to pick your teeth after good meal.
