Celebrant's Rib-Rake

Notes

• With Standard affinity, physical damage scales more strongly with Dexterity than Strength. Keen suits a Dexterity emphasis, while a different affinity can change the useful attributes; higher attack power does not increase its rune payment.
• Grants 10 runes when a qualifying weapon hit connects. This is a small fixed payment rather than a percentage bonus to enemy kill rewards, and the short trigger cooldown prevents every target in one broad attack paying separately.
• A spear with thrusting reach and a requirement of 8 Strength and 14 Dexterity. It weighs 5, has a normal critical rating of 100 and does not inflict bleed by default.
• You can make spear attacks while guarding with a compatible shield, although attacks and blocked hits both spend stamina. A guard break can leave you open even while the weapon is earning small rune rewards.
• Comes with Barbaric Roar for 16 FP. It strengthens attacks and changes heavy attacks into a more aggressive sequence; it is a temporary skill effect rather than a permanent change to the spear's moveset.
• Can use compatible Ashes of War and upgrades with Smithing Stones to +25. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied with Standard, Heavy, Keen or Quality affinity; elemental and status affinities prevent ordinary weapon coatings.
• The yellow-clad rake carriers have a 0.5% base weapon drop chance at 100 Item Discovery. Rest and repeat the correct enemies rather than farming every dancer indiscriminately.
