"Captain's Greatsword" is not the name of any weapon confirmed in Windrose across the major community weapon databases. If you saw this name referenced in earlier wiki content, it was likely a conflation with one of the actual greatswords in the game.
Image | Name | Rarity | Where Found | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | Craft: 10 Copper Ingot + 2 Rough Hide (Level 1 Weaponsmith) | Baseline craftable greatsword | |
| Rare (Epic possible) | Pirate Chests | +1 Posture Point; Epic gives +20% Critical Damage | |
| Rare (Epic possible) | Pirate Chests; often from Glorious Hunter quest area | Perfect Block applies Retaliation (+10% dmg, 3 stacks); Epic restores 10% HP on Perfect Block | |
| Rare (Epic possible) | Ghost Captain boss drop |
Greatswords are two-handed Slash weapons that scale with Agility. They occupy both hands and lock out an off-hand pistol, trading attack speed for reach and heavier per-hit damage. Crafting them starts at Weaponsmith Workshop Level 2. The table below lists the four greatswords in the current build so you can pick the closest match to whatever you meant by Captain's Greatsword.
Greatsword | Rarity | ATK (Lvl 15) | Damage | Scaling | Key Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Uncommon | 380 | 300 | Agility (B) | No special effect | |
Rare / Epic | 380 | 315 | Agility (B / A) | Perfect Block applies Retaliation (+10% Melee Damage, up to 3 stacks); Epic restores 10% Health at max stacks | |
Rare / Epic | 380 | 310 | Agility (A / S) | +1 Posture Point; Epic adds +20% Critical Damage | |
Rare / Epic | 380 | 325 | Agility (C / B) | F special drains Health from nearby enemies (2 min cooldown); Epic adds Vitality scaling on the drain |
All four share the same baseline 380 ATK at Level 15, so the choice comes down to the bonus damage value and the special effect. Soul Eater carries the highest base damage and is the only greatsword tied to a captain (the Ghost Captain), which is the most likely source of the Captain's Greatsword name.
A basic craftable greatsword: Two-Handed Sword
A named boss-drop greatsword: Soul Eater (from the Ghost Captain)
A quest-reward halberd (sometimes mistaken for a greatsword): Executioner (from I Need a Bigger Boat)

Soul Eater most-searched-for greatsword named after a captain
If you are hunting the captain-named greatsword specifically, you want Soul Eater, which drops from the Ghost Captain. Plan that run so it also covers nearby enemies, resource nodes, and any Pirate Chest spawns, since the two chest-drop greatswords (Stalwart Greatsword and Dueling Greatsword) can appear on the same circuit. For a craftable fallback while you farm, the Two-Handed Sword needs only 10 Copper Ingot and 2 Rough Hide at a Level 1 Weaponsmith.
