It is part of a Hash faction questline, but you do not need to trigger the quest to pick up the weapon. You only need to liberate the area.23+This Epic-grade weapon can be obtained through various means including quest rewards, merchant purchases, enemy drops, and treasure chests found throughout Pywel.112412-Fast travel to the Eastern Court fast travel point in Demeniss.Liberate the area by defeating all enemies present, including the court boss.After the liberation cutscene plays, walk back into the area where you fought.Pick up the weapon manually.

You must find it on the ground and collect it yourself.25+Enhanced versions of this weapon can be crafted at a workbench using the materials listed in the crafting recipe table above.132614-Moon Weapon Synergy27+Combat Tips152816-Moon Weapon Synergy: Circling Moon is part of the Moon weapon trio, alongside Grasping Moon and Diverging Moon. Each Moon weapon has a unique elemental sonic boom (electric, fire, and ice respectively). All three special gears can be extracted at a Witch vendor and embedded onto a single weapon. When combined, the weapon fires ice, fire, and electric sonic booms simultaneously, creating a devastating crossover effect. Collecting all three Moon weapons and merging their gears is one of the strongest spear setups in the game.29+At maximum enhancement, Circling Moon reaches an Attack value of 35, making it one of the stronger options in its category. Investing refinement materials early can pay dividends throughout the mid and late game.173018-Tips31+Spears excel at maintaining distance from enemies. Use thrust attacks to poke enemies while staying outside their melee range. Sweeping attacks can catch groups of enemies, but be careful not to overcommit against fast opponents.193220-Make sure you have Keen Senses level 2 before picking up this weapon, or you will not be able to equip it immediately.After the liberation cutscene, do not leave the area. Walk back in to find the weapon on the ground. Many players miss it because they assume it is automatically rewarded.The electric sonic booms from Full Moon Slash are excellent for staggering enemies at range. Use them to interrupt charging enemies or soften groups before closing in.33+As a two-handed weapon, this spear prevents the use of off-hand equipment. Consider your build and playstyle carefully when choosing between the higher damage of two-handed weapons and the versatility of one-handed options with shields or dual-wielding.213435+The Circling Moon is one of three Moon weapons, each tied to a different element and Full Moon Slash gear. The other two are the Grasping Moon and the Diverging Moon. All three gears can be extracted at a Witch vendor and embedded onto a single weapon.36+37+When all three Moon Slash gears are combined on one weapon, they create a devastating crossover effect that shoots ice, fire, and electric sonic booms simultaneously. The attacks alternate between elements, providing excellent AoE coverage and elemental synergy. This combination works particularly well on fast one-handed weapons where the attack speed allows rapid chaining of the elemental projectiles.38+2239See Also234024-Grasping MoonDiverging MoonSpearsTwo-Handed WeaponsKeen SensesDemenissWeapons41+Two-Handed Weapons - All two-handed weapon typesHalberds - Hybrid polearm weaponsBanner Pikes - Faction polearm weaponsWeapons and Equipment - Full weapons overviewCombat System - Guide to combat mechanicsRefining System - Weapon upgrade guide
