Acquisition

Honeycomb Fields · Frozen Highlands · Ravines

Drops as a Unique roll of Rapier. A quest awarding the base item does not promise its Unique variant.

Published source check, not independent in-game verification. A missing route on one page does not disprove it. Full catalogue audit →

Random effect pool

Candidates inferred from the original equipment archetypes; exact legality remains unverified. Specific reroll-position restrictions are not established.

Build Lab models 0 / 1 / 2 / 2 random effects for Common / Rare / Special / Unique, plus one when Storm Called is enabled. Existing builds retain that legacy rule. The published rarity reference instead lists one rolled effect plus one fixed effect for Unique gear and excludes Common gear from Storm Called. Build Lab flags these differences; see the Research Lab evidence register.

Sources & data coverage

Game snapshot 1.1.1.0. Research checked 2026-10-01. Community source facts, not independent in-game verification. Missing fields stay unknown; source-specific profiles and reported puzzle hints retain their qualifications.

Published stat supplement

Checked 2026-10-01. Damage values are base values before live power, difficulty and build effects. Source disagreements and variant boundaries remain visible. Read the complete stat audit →

Combo totals differ where repeated strikes are counted differently. The original MetaBot sequence includes ×N strike counts; the Dungeons.tools rows list individual strike damage. Its full-combo total also differs here. Treat this as a calculation/representation disagreement, not a confirmed balance change.
