Pick Purity if you are building a Tethren-line Courage/Spirit melee endgame—Vetch is the better fit when you are still climbing Courage and want a light...
Rare Courage and Spirit Heavy greatsword with 68 ATK and 66 stagger. Obtain the whole weapon from The Mendicant King, then reforge it at Tuvalkane. The Cogah variant of Mendicant King offers a second whole-weapon roll on the boss rotation, and Avakot sells the weapon outright for 240 Dracs for players who'd rather skip the boss fight entirely.
Uncommon Dendrit Long Blade requiring 11 Courage with Grace co-attunement, 48 ATK, and 30 stagger. Forge it from two fragments farmed from Etheldred The Weaver or Seachnall The Widower.
