Plans: Reliable Halberd is a Recipe Papers item that teaches the Sturdy Halberd crafting recipe. Despite the plan's 'Reliable' naming, the unlocked weapon is the Sturdy Halberd, a wood-and-steel polearm built to withstand head-on assaults, boarding actions, and even rust.
Reading the plan adds the Sturdy Halberd recipe to your Crafting workshop. Once learned, the recipe persists across deaths and respawns; the plan is consumed on use.

The unlocked Sturdy Halberd is a two-handed long-reach weapon in the Halberds class. It scales with Strength and, like all halberds, trades parry timing for spacing: the class cannot Perfect Block, so the loop is dodge, long-poke, and punish. Values below are the maximum shown on the Item Level 15 card.
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Weapon Class | Halberds (two-handed) |
Rarity | Rare / Epic |

Damage | 355 (Rare) / 370 (Epic) Crude |
Scaling | Strength (A / S) |
Rare Effect | Increases Critical Hit Chance by 10%. |
Epic Bonus | Base damage of the item is 15 points higher. |
Crafting Station |
The Sturdy prefix gives this halberd one of the largest scaling jumps in the game, reaching Strength (S) at Epic, which makes it the pure-damage pick of the class for a Strength build backed by Endurance to keep the heavy swings fed.
After the plan is read, build the Sturdy Halberd at the Weaponsmith Workshop. The base halberd recipe is Wood x10 plus Copper Ingot x7 at Workshop Level 1. Level 6 to 10 upgrades swap to Hardwood plus Foothills Iron Ingot, and Level 11 to 15 upgrades move to Mire Metal Ingot. Two-handed halberds ascend from Rare to Epic with Tumbaga Ingot x9 via the Upgrade System. This matches the Wood material family already listed for the recipe.
Plans: Reliable Halberd drops as low-chance loot from chests in pirate camps and ruins. The plan is a research paper, not a sold item, so the reliable path is grinding chest spawns rather than waiting for a vendor restock. As with most Recipe Papers, duplicates can be sold or traded once your character has already learned the recipe.
If you already have one Sturdy Halberd recipe, additional copies of the plan can be safely sold or stockpiled for crew members. The recipe itself is account-bound to the character that consumed the plan.
