Clockwerke Weapons are scripted weapons that debuted at the April 2026 run of Rumor Woods, in a shop called Uvaldov's Pinions and Cogs. They were created by GameMaster Marstreforn.

Tier 1 (OTS) - Modularity

At tier 1 (as sold in the shop) these armaments have standard (Category B) flares that can be switched between Slash, Piercing, and Crush using TURN while out of combat.

The weapon also adds a line to the end of its LOOK description:

Tiny brass gears are arranged along the blade of the cleaver, each affixed near a vent aligned with its edge. Angled rods extend from each vent, and a spring-loaded dial is affixed to the cleaver's haft.

Usage

Verb First Third
LISTEN You discreetly hold your clockwerke cleaver near your ear, listening intently...

... *Tick* ... *Tock* ... *Tick* ... *Tock* ...
N/A
PULL You pull a spring-loaded dial on the haft of your clockwerke cleaver, and some tiny brass gears along its blade whir into motion as it *clicks* into place. The gears come to a stop, and spiked cogs within the cleaver's vents retract to better align with its edge. [Player] pulls a spring-loaded dial on the haft of his clockwerke cleaver, and it *clicks* into place.
PUSH You push a spring-loaded dial on the haft of your clockwerke cleaver, and some tiny brass gears along its blade whir into motion as it *clicks* into place. The gears come to a stop, and spiked cogs within the cleaver's vents extend to better align with its edge. [Player] pushes a spring-loaded dial on the haft of his clockwerke cleaver, and it *clicks* into place.
TURN You turn a spring-loaded dial on the haft of your clockwerke cleaver, and some tiny brass gears along its blade whir into motion. As the gears come to a stop, spiked cogs retract within a row of vents aligned with the cleaver's edge and angled rods extend in their place.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
[Player] turns a spring-loaded dial on the haft of his clockwerke cleaver.

Some messaging varies based on the type of flare chosen with TURN.

Tier 2 - Coiled Retrofit

At Tier 2, the weapon gains an SMRv2 ability by using WAVE.

Usage: WAVE <my> cleaver [AT {target}]

This deals damage equal to a weapon flare and is based on the damage type selected with Modularity via TURN.

Coiled Retrofit has a 60-second cooldown, and this will appear on the character's cooldown window in the Wrayth FE. A character is not able to use this ability again, even with another Clockwerke Weapon, until this cooldown expires.

LISTEN will display this ability's cooldown status when unlocked to this tier.

Tier 3 - Arcane Pneumatics

At Tier 3, the weapon gains offensive (Category D) flares when used to make an attack against the target. A runestaff will flare this way when a hostile spell is cast at the target.

TINKER is used to select between Air and Steam damage types while out of combat.

Usage

Verb First Third
TINKER You tinker with some tiny brass gears along the blade of your clockwerke cleaver, and plumes of steam emanate from the vents near its edge.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
[Player] tinkers with some tiny brass gears along the blade of his clockwerke cleaver, and plumes of steam emanate from the vents near its edge.

Tier 4 - Ensigiled Cylinder

At Tier 4, the weapon gains an SMRv2 ability by using POINT.

Usage: POINT <my> cleaver [AT {target}]

This deals damage equal to Arcane Pneumatics and is based on the damage type selected via TINKER. Additionally, Ensigiled Cylinder applies a debuff if the target is hit, with Air applying the Slowed (2 seconds) condition and Steam applying the Vulnerable condition.

Ensigiled Cylinder has a 60-second cooldown, and this will appear on the character's cooldown window in the Wrayth FE. A character is not able to use this ability again, even with another Clockwerke Weapon, until this cooldown expires.

LISTEN will display this ability's cooldown status when unlocked to this tier.

Tier 5 - Rune-Tuned Gears

This is the final tier that can be unlocked on a Clockwerke Weapon.

Arcane Pneumatics gains a 25% chance to deal damage a second time when the weapon flares.

SPIN applies the Clockwerke Overdrive buff to the wielder for 60 seconds, and this will appear on the character's buff window in the Wrayth FE. This ability has a 3 minute cooldown, which appears on the cooldown window in the Wrayth FE. A character is not able to use this ability again, even with another Clockwerke Weapon, until this cooldown expires.

Clockwerke Overdrive increases the chance for Arcane Pneumatics to deal damage twice to 100% when the weapon flares. Additionally, Arcane Pneumatics applies a debuff if the target is still alive, with Air applying the Clumsy condition and Steam applying the Wounded condition.

LISTEN will display this ability's cooldown status when unlocked to this tier.

Note: The additional damage and debuff during Clockwerke Overdrive will also occur when using the POINT ability previously unlocked with Tier 4 - Ensigiled Cylinder.

Usage

Verb First Third
SPIN You spin a spring-loaded dial on the haft of your clockwerke cleaver, and the tiny brass gears along its blade whir chaotically in response! You feel motivated by the whirring gears!
