Rogue Blight Guide
Weapon and Shield Collection
~50 one-handed weapons — where key pieces drop, unique skills, and what to extract at the Sanctum of Skills.
Last updated: September 4, 2026
Quick Answer
~50 one-handed weapons. Unique skill > raw stats. Priority: Greed Wand + Iron Rapier (Waywood), Water Sword + Earth Bash (Waywood), Paladin Shield (Waywood). Extract skills at Sanctum of Skills.
Rogue Blight has roughly 50 one-handed weapons — swords, wands, daggers, shields. Each has a unique skill. The skill matters more than the stat line.
Why collect
Earth Bash (Shattered = guaranteed crits) changed every boss fight for me. A mediocre weapon with Earth Bash beats a god-roll with a useless skill.
Extract skills at the Sanctum of Skills in Sanctuary (Fungi cost) — up to four active skills equipped.
