Revision 10

Weapons

Coen 's starting weapon is Peregrini Aurorae (Dawn's Pilgrim), the sword he carries during the day. It is not the only weapon he can wield. Rebel Wolves confirmed in July 2026 that the game carries several classes of sword, each with its own weight and attack speed, and that Coen can also pick up weapons that are not swords at all.

The classes are distinguished by feel rather than by a separate movelist: the studio's framing is that they "feel differently and affect how fast you attack" within the same directional system. There are still no bows, crossbows, or other ranged weapons. At night, Coen's claws replace whatever he was carrying, and claw combat becomes the nighttime weapon system outright.

Armor

The game includes both light and heavy armor variants. Equipping heavier armor requires investment in the relevant skill tree. You can't just put on plate mail without training for it. There are no helmets. The developers confirmed this in the January 2026 Q&A, keeping Coen's face visible at all times.

Accessories

Magical rings, amulets, and talismans are part of the equipment system. These items have rarity indicators, suggesting a loot quality tier system. Cosmetic outfits are also available, though there is currently no transmog system (the developers have said they are "considering" it).

Crafting

Crafting focuses on consumables rather than weapons or armor. The system is alchemy-based. Players create tinctures and concoctions that are useful both in and out of combat. Specific recipes and ingredients have not been detailed in public materials.

Currency

The currency of Vale Sangora is the denarius, referred to in the plural as denarii. Two achievements confirm both how it is earned and roughly what scale the economy runs at: one for earning 1,000 denarii by selling silver, and one for accumulating 5,000 denarii.

Selling silver being called out specifically fits the valley's economy. The silver mines are why people settled the valley and why Svartrau grew wealthy, so silver is the obvious trade good for a miner's son to move. Merchant access is not constant, though: at night the traders close up, and a high infamy can restrict who will deal with Coen at all.

Spell Scrolls

New Hex Magic spells are found as ancient scrolls hidden throughout the world. Discovering a scroll is not enough. Players must also invest skill points to learn the spell it contains. This ties magical progression to both exploration (finding the scroll) and character development (spending the points).

Combat Manuals

Weapon techniques are not bought with points alone. Books found out in the world, sold by fencers, or taken from soldier and bandit camps gate which techniques can be bought at all. The manual makes the technique available; the skill points and the slice of in-game time are still paid at a shrine. That makes searching ruins, libraries and abandoned houses a route to build progress rather than only to loot. Passive perks bought through the Skill Trees then support whichever approach the player is building toward, whether that is defence and counterattacks or mobility and constant pressure.

Rarity and Weapon Arts

Equipment rarity is colour-coded, running through blue and purple to orange for legendary pieces. Every weapon of blue rarity or above carries a weapon art, a special move on its own cooldown that does not draw on the charge pool. The bracers Coen wears at night carry the same thing for his vampiric form, called claw arts, so the rarity tier of a bracer matters as much as the tier of a sword.

Two full equipment presets can be saved and swapped at will. Most players keep one built for daylight swordplay and one built for the night form, since the passive bonuses attached to each set pull in different directions.
