Chieftain's Blade

The chieftain's blade is a power level 3 one-handed weapon, created by combining 10 bronze bars, 2 antlers, and 2 animal bones at a blacksmith's bench. The recipe is learned by consuming the vestige a corroded serrated blade, found in a chest atop the same plateau where you start the Heartstrings quest. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores.

Unlike many other ascendable vestige and masterwork weapons and armour, this weapon does not have a special effect.

It has even lower damage ranges than the wooden training sword, making it the least valuable weapon to ascend.

Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Mouldfinger never wanted to be chief, unlike the other goblins she aspired to be just a background character - happy and forgotten while she worked on her own things. She enjoyed working with wood, bone, and on those special occasions, metal.

She crafted a sword, a simple blade that was sturdy and strong, and the goblins went wild because of it. Seeing its sharpness, they became convinced it was magical or imbued with the power of their draconic overlord. it wasn't, it was just very well made.

She was made chieftain after the others challenged her, and her sharpened blade cut easily through their defenses. A fate she had never wanted, and a fate she would never escape.
