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.

Common Ode'n Sinecure halberd (13 Courage) — workhorse Courage polearm at 65 ATK, 46 stagger
Farm 1 fragment from Gruulseeker Selvins or Bisulcam; forge at Tuvalkane — lowest fragment cost
Shares drop tables with Sollos-I and Rivt-II; upgrades to Duhk Halic (66 ATK) or Rook (65 ATK, Spirit)

Vasp-IV is a Common Ode'n Sinecure halberd (polearm) requiring 13 Courage, serving as the workhorse Courage polearm for early-to-mid game Tethren builds. With 65 base ATK and 46 stagger, it delivers exceptional damage for a Common-tier weapon — matching Uncommon polearms in raw output. Farm fragments from a wide enemy drop table: Gruulseeker Selvins (the named farm target) and Bisulcam are primary sources on Sinecure patrol lines. Additional fragment sources include Fore-Feller Hewyl (normal and Cogah), Gruul Seeker Sontaro (normal and Cogah), Nimrod, Ode'n Bisulcam, Sinecure Officer, and Sinecure-errant Gawth (normal and Cogah). Container drops from Polearm Racks. Forge 1 fragment at Tuvalkane — the lowest fragment requirement of any weapon, making Vasp-IV extremely accessible. Purchase from Avakot for 150 Dracs. Vasp-IV shares identical enemy drop tables with Sollos-I (broadsword) and Rivt-II (splitsword), enabling efficient multi-weapon farming on Sinecure routes. The lore describes it as a deadly Ode'n Halberd lost to the Sinecure ranks — the blade is slightly rusted from humid Alcan air, yet no less sharp nor acutely balanced than the night of its extraction from Ode'n mould. Effective for budget Courage builds and early Halberd skill progression before upgrading to Duhk Halic (66 ATK) or Rook (65 ATK, Spirit).

A deadly Ode'n Halberd lost to the Sinecure ranks not long ago. Though the blade is rusted slightly, it is only for the Ode'n alloys, untreated for humid Alcan air. Assuredly, it is no less sharp, nor acutely balanced, than the night of its extraction from Ode'n mould.
