11 Ghost Captain's Sword is not the name of any weapon in the current Windrose Early Access build. The weapon that drops from the Ghost Captain boss is the Soul Eater, a Rare greatsword that can be ascended to Epic. If you arrived here looking for a sword named after the Ghost Captain, the Soul Eater is the weapon you want.

66 Soul Eater is consistently confirmed by current community data. Its lore flavor text reads that the blade "once belonged to the Ghost Captain. Its blade is as dark as the waters that will one day swallow its new owner." That flavor is why players reach for the "Ghost Captain's Sword" name even though the in-game item is simply called Soul Eater.

88 Why the Confusion Exists

1010 Naming a weapon after its boss source is a common habit, so "Ghost Captain's Sword" is a natural but incorrect assumption. No primary source lists any weapon with this name. The actual in-game drop is Soul Eater, which retains the Ghost Captain's lore without being named after him. A separate weapon, the Captain's Greatsword, exists in the game and is unrelated to the Ghost Captain, which adds to the name mix-up.
