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.

Rare Oscelda coastal staff requiring Spirit 18 and Grace attunement. Fragments drop from Crypt Sarcophagi in the Circade crypt, as well as Enclave Votives at Tier 3 (Alca's Children and Kith of Kings). Craft at Tuvalkane using Knotwood×20 and Moranite×6. The staff's defining trait is its high charged Magick burst — at 198 charged damage it outperforms similarly leveled Spirit staves for single-target burst rotations. Post-Preludes 15: 44 ATK, 198 charged. The coastal thematics tie to Oscelda lore, where sea-adjacent magick traditions produce staves tuned for sustained Spirit-based spell weaving rather than rapid-fire spam.

A witching-staff fresh from the Salz. Forged of driftwood and waldglass, this staff still smells of salt and sea. Crafted by a follower of Oro, Seathorn’s magicks lie in the tiny barnacles latched upon its orb. Old fables label these tiny living sea thorns as Oro’s countless lidless eyes. Do him proud, Envoy, for a seasage you shall be.
