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...
Weapon overview
Purity
Heavy · Courage · Rare
The undead greatsword of a Mendicant knight. Named for the owner's intentions, Purity was there in the Fonnish Charge, tucked into her scabbard. Though her knight, like most others on that wretched march, perished before he could draw his sword. She waited in her scabbard. Eras rose and fell. Until at last, her knight climbed from the grave to draw her at last. Requires Courage 17 and Spirit attunement. Whole weapon preview drops from The Mendicant King — ring the bell in SW Stroaic to summon him. Also drops from the Cogah table variant. Reforge at Tuvalkane with Scrap Steel×45, Silistyt×15, Petrified Ichor×6, and Twice Blessed Joineries×1. Post-Preludes 15: 68 ATK, 66 poise break — a top-tier Courage heavy weapon for endgame melee pressure.
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.
