Location

• Sold by Reynard. (Stage 6 or later)
• May be found in Weapon Piles throughout Gransys. Likely choices include armor piles in Soulflayer Canyon, in the Witchwood, and piles in the Wilted Forest. (see maps in articles) Some piles such as the one in the Witchwood may only give the item by night.

Enhancement Item Locations

• Ancient Scroll
  • Found at Gather spots in piles of books, located in places such as inside Hillfigure Knoll, and various buildings in Gran Soren, including the Duke's Demesne, Pawn Guild and Madeleine's Shop.
  • May be dropped by a Skeleton Sorcerer.
• Broom
  • Sold by Mountebank at The Black Cat in Gran Soren.
  • May be found lying around in domestic areas.
  • May be dropped by Gransys worker citizens on picking them up.
• Strigoi Barb
  • Dropped by a Strigoi.
• Bloodred Crystal
  • Dropped by a Strigoi. Increased chance if it drains blood from the Arisen/Pawns.

Notes

• The higher the enhancement of a Rusted Weapon, the higher the chance it will inflict Torpor and Poison with each successive strike.
• (Glitch) The dragonforged staff has a display glitch where it shows as weighing one less than the true value (in the Equipment menu only) - this glitch affects all equipment with exactly integer weight, but is not thought to affect gameplay.
