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 binary daggers (10 Courage, Grace+Courage) — an early melee sidearm before Grinn
Farm whole-weapon previews from Bisulcam, Discharged Nimrod, or Turret Jotar Siege; community catalog sells a fragment for 155 Dracs
Shares farm routes with Grinn (41 ATK, 14 Courage) — most players switch to Grinn once virtues allow

Unsula is an Uncommon Sinecure binary dagger pair requiring 10 Courage on top of its Grace attunement, giving Sirin-aligned players an early melee sidearm before committing further Courage investment. Post-Preludes 15 it carries a modest 26 base ATK, 52 charged attack, 13 stagger, and 5% smite — intentionally lower damage than its upgrade target Grinn. Whole-weapon previews drop from the same Ode'n/Sinecure patrol table used by several other weapons: Bisulcam, Discharged Nimrod, Fore-Feller Hewyl, Gruul Seeker Sontaro, Gruulseeker Selvins, Sinecure Officer, Sinecure-errant Gawth/Vella, Turret Jotar Siege, and Polearm Rack containers. community catalog also stocks a fragment for 155 Dracs. Craft 2 fragments into a full pair at Tuvalkane with Scrap Steel, Silistyt, and Petrified Ichor (10h, 2500 Dracs), then Refine with Chordstones. Because Unsula and Grinn share nearly identical Sinecure farm routes, most players pick up Unsula fragments incidentally while farming toward Grinn (41 ATK, 14 Courage) and switch to the stronger dagger once virtues allow. Lore describes the binary blades as Sinecure mercenary weapons cast in a measured arc, precisely formed to strike soundlessly through Alcan atmosphere.

The binary blades of Sinecure mercenaries. Each Unsulum dagger is cast in a measured arc. Some liken it to a broken orbit, others to a pinching claw. Together, the Unsula are precisely formed to strike soundlessly through Alcan atmosphere.
