02Confirmed drop sources
- Obsidian Hammer — inside the Obsidianite Mines dungeon, dropped by a Prophet of Profane Infinites miniboss.
- Troubadour's Lute — sitting on the stage inside the One-Legged Wolf tavern in eastern Fainweald. Causes confusion in enemies.
- Black Needle — a spear dropped by the Stray Sester at the end of the Sester's Gate beacon dungeon, after the Twin Sesters fight.
- Clockwork Scythe and Caged Hystrix — both come out of the same sequence: fighting Sariel twice near the Silent Steps beacon. The scythe drops from Sariel; the Hystrix sidearm is found near the Chamber of Becoming exit.
03Upgrading at the Tarforge
Every weapon and sidearm upgrades at the Tarforge in Marrow Keep. You need coins plus smithing-stone-type materials.
Maxing out one weapon is a trophy requirement, so it is worth committing to a single main rather than spreading materials thin.
