The Erstroot

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: What is Virtue attunement in Soulframe?

Virtue attunement tags each weapon with Courage, Spirit, or Grace scaling. Invest points in the matching Virtue—and align your Pact—to reach full damage; mismatched gear still works but hits softer.

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.

Uncommon Wevetroot Magick staff (16 Spirit) — premier Spirit caster staff with 6% smite, 180 charged
Farm whole previews from Wraith of Wastes in Sidae's Stake; Refine at Tuvalkane with Chordstones
Spirit progression after The Alder; pairs with Oscelda and Garren Rood pacts for spell damage

The Erstroot is an Uncommon Wevetroot Magick staff requiring 16 Spirit, with 40 ATK and 6% smite. Obtain the whole-weapon preview from Wraith of Wastes in Sidae's Stake, then refine it at Tuvalkane. The Cogah variant of Wraith of Wastes offers a second chance at the whole-weapon preview roll, and Avakot's 220-Drac Wares of Zenith purchase skips the boss fight entirely for players who'd rather buy in. As part of the Wevetroot Wazzard set, it pairs visually and mechanically with other Wazzard-line gear for players building around that aesthetic and Spirit-focused kit.

A witching-staff of Wevetroot. Plucked from the Wastegraves by the Wazzard's own hand, a creeping root steeped in ichor. Be it Ode'n corruption that grants it such power? The darkened trace of magick sap? Or an ancient curse from the Waste Wraith himself?
