Windrose Razor Guide: How to Forge

If you are looking to significantly boost your melee damage and speed in Windrose, the Razor saber is an exceptional choice! Highly favored by Nassau pirates, this S-tier weapon delivers a fantastic blend of high-speed attacks and raw power.

It inflicts a hefty 225 slash damage and provides an immediate 10% increase to your base critical hit chance, making it a perfect fit for agility-focused character builds. Here is a friendly, factual guide on how to craft, upgrade, and optimize this brilliant blade.

Step 1: Base Crafting Setup

To forge the baseline Rare version of the Razor, you will need to head over to your Weaponsmith Workshop. Before you begin, ensure your workstation meets these two standard base requirements:

• It must be built securely under a roof.
• It must be placed within the active area of influence of your bonfire.

Required Materials:

• 7x Copper Ingots (Smelted in your furnace using copper ore)
• 2x Rough Hides (Gathered by hunting wildlife out in the world)

Step 2: Upgrading to the Epic Variant

If you want to unlock the full potential of the Razor, you can upgrade it to its Epic variant. This tier provides a massive boost to your combat effectiveness but requires an upgraded workshop and rarer materials.

1. Upgrade Your Station: First, you will need to craft and install an Anvil add-on at your Weaponsmith Workshop.
2. Gather Advanced Materials:
   • 7x Iron Ingots
   • 3x Smithing Flux

Sourcing Smithing Flux & Port Royal Reputation

Smithing Flux cannot be crafted; it must be purchased from the Smugglers at Port Royal for 10 Piastre each once you reach Reputation Level 1.

If you need to quickly build up your standing with the Port Royal faction to unlock their wares, you can do so by:

• Defeating enemies and collecting Insignias to hand in.
• Patrolling the seas to sink rival ships.
• Completing faction quests to earn Letters of Favor.

How to Optimize Your Build

The Razor is a weapon designed purely around high mobility, agility scaling, and critical strike potential (even earning an official "Israel Hands" stamp of approval in the lore!).

Build Tip: To maximize the weapon's built-in 10% critical hit bonus, pair the Razor with armor pieces, rings, or charms that further boost your critical rate and agility stats. This synergy allows you to chain together incredibly fast, devastating critical strikes.
