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.

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.

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.
