Revision 1

The Ghost Captain's Sword is a supernatural one-handed weapon in Windrose with a unique Vitality-scaling F-attack that drains Health from nearby enemies. It is dropped by the Ghost Captain, a spectral boss encountered deep within one of Windrose's most challenging dungeons.

Special Effect: Health Drain F-Attack

The Ghost Captain's Sword is one of the few weapons in Windrose that rewards a Vitality-heavy build. Normally Vitality is a survivability stat, raising max HP and providing general durability. The Ghost Captain's Sword unique mechanic means every Vitality point you invest adds F-attack damage on top of survivability, a rare dual-purpose investment.

Acquisition

Obtained by defeating the Ghost Captain dungeon boss. The Ghost Captain is placed within one of the 90+ hand-crafted points of interest at Early Access launch. His specific location is not publicly documented to preserve the discovery experience, but the community discovery tracker at windrose.tools surfaces it. The fight is tuned for late-game gear tiers and is often recommended as a co-op encounter.

Build Synergy

Pairs well with a hybrid Toughguy and Crusher talent build that stacks Vitality and Endurance. Toughguy talents like Stout Frame (+120-240 max HP) and Too Angry to Die (30-70% HP restore on lethal hit) combine with the sword's health-drain F-attack to create a sustain-focused fighter who trades hits rather than avoids them. The 2-minute F-attack cooldown means positioning it for dense packs of enemies is key; wasting it on a lone target is inefficient.

Lore

The Ghost Captain's Sword is one of several weapons in Windrose with supernatural properties, alongside the Plague Halberd, Arboris Saber, Soul Eater, and Dragon's Breath. The weapons collectively hint at a broader world of ghost ships and spectral pirate entities connected to Blackbeard's pact with dark powers and the supernatural corruption spreading through the game's setting.
