Since Preludes 14, Joineries enhance a weapon's Virtue attunement, providing 1 to 3 Virtue Attunement pips depending on the Joinery type.

Since Preludes 14, Runes activate on a Heavy Attack. Smiting enemies banks a charge that you can use to trigger the Rune effect at will.

Totems are passive bonuses applied to weapons. They are obtained by charming or rescuing animals in the world.

Rapiers are a weapon type added in Preludes 14 with their own unique moveset. The signature weapons are Navalha and Espadarte.

Soulframe is a free-to-play (F2P) fantasy action RPG developed by Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe. Set on the isle of Midrath, it focuses on deliberate melee combat, somber exploration, and co-op play during the Preludes pre-alpha on PC.

Preludes is Digital Extremes' name for Soulframe's current pre-alpha phase. It's an early, evolving version of the game that players can experience as it's built openly alongside the community.

Q: How many weapons are in Soulframe?

Soulframe Hub covers all Soulframe weapons across 9 types, filterable by Virtue attunement. Updated for Preludes 15.

Q: Can I use any weapon with any Pact?

Yes—you can equip any weapon regardless of Pact, but **Virtue attunement** still governs damage scaling. A Pact only gates your three Arcanic skills; mismatched weapons work, yet they feel weaker until you align Virtue Points with the weapon's Courage, Spirit, or Grace lane.

Q: What is Virtue attunement?

Every weapon is attuned to one or more Virtues. Investing Virtue Points into the matching Virtue increases that weapon's damage output.

Q: How many weapons can I equip at once?

You can equip one primary weapon and one sidearm simultaneously.

Q: Can I upgrade weapons?

Yes. Bring weapon fragments and materials to Tuvalkane in the Nightfold to craft and upgrade weapons. Higher-tier recipes require Bond Level 3.

Q: How do I get weapon fragments?

Fragments drop from enemies, quest rewards, and Siege events. Collect enough fragments, then craft the full weapon at Tuvalkane.

Q: Can I mix weapons of different Virtues?

Yes. You can equip any weapon regardless of Virtue, but mismatched attunement will result in lower damage. Experienced players often swap weapons based on enemy resistances.

Uncommon Sinecure sawblade dagger (14 Grace+Courage) — 41 ATK, 82 charged, one of the strongest Short Blades in its tier
Farms from 35 listed sources including Bisulcam, Sinecure Elite Soldiers, and Turret Jotar Siege; community catalog sells a fragment for 165 Dracs
Upgrade from Clivers; shares routes with Unsula; compare Rostrum (Spirit) or Veilk polearm

Grinn is an Uncommon Sinecure sawblade dagger requiring 14 Grace and Courage combined, delivering some of the strongest Short Blade stats in its tier at 41 base ATK, 82 charged attack, 26 stagger, and 6% smite. It sits on one of the widest patrol tables in Soulframe — 35 listed sources including Bisulcam, Ode'n Bisulcam, Sinecure Elite and Officer variants, Gruul Seeker Ruthos and Sontaro, Crypt Crawler, Ghost Knight, The Circade, Turret Jotar Siege, and a Polearm Rack container, plus an Avakot merchant fragment at 165 Dracs. Craft 2 fragments into a full sawblade at Tuvalkane with Scrap Steel, Ichor, and Corrupt Onyx (10h, 2500 Dracs), then Refine with Chordstones for Temper or Craftwork rolls. Grinn is the natural upgrade from Clivers and shares Sinecure/Nimrod farm routes with Unsula, so most Grace-Courage hybrid builds pick it up on the way to endgame gear. Compare Rostrum for a pure Spirit alternative or the Veilk polearm if you want reach on the same drop tables. The lore casts Grinn as the toothed sawblade of Sinecure trappers — hooked and barbed like wardog teeth, carried on solitary journeys as a fierce, ever-hungry companion.

The toothed sawblade of Sinecure trappers. Hooked and barbed like wardog teeth, Grinn finds the grip of any so ruthless. Though the Ode prefer to hunt in legions, 'tis custom to carry such a sawblade on solitary journeys. Tucked close to it's master's side, Grinn makes for a fierce companion with a ripping bite... Near drooling for prey.
