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. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

This line varies slightly 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.

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.

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.

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. This ability has a 3 minute cooldown.

The Clockwerke Overdrive buff 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.
