Unique weapons are the most mechanically elaborate weapons in Simply Swords. Each has a fixed weapon type and a signature passive, triggered, or active ability. Their listed statistics are fully awakened defaults and may be changed by configuration.

Finding Unique weapons

Eligible chests, including many modded structure chests, can roll Unique loot. The default base Unique chance is 0.05%. Per-player pity begins after 25 eligible misses, increases the chance by 0.2 percentage points per further miss, and guarantees a Unique by the 75th eligible miss. Pity progress belongs to the individual player, making it suitable for multiplayer servers with players at different progression stages.

The Wither and Ender Dragon have separate default Unique chances of 5% and 50%. Village loot injection is disabled by default. All chances, eligible tables, disabled weapons, and pity thresholds are configurable.

Natural Unique drops begin at Awakening level 0 when awakening is enabled. Restore them with up to eight Runic Tablets at a Runic Forge.

Contained Remnants

Using a Contained Remnant on a matching thematic block produces a deterministic Unique weapon. Hold the remnant to receive nearby hints. Examples include an Iron Block for Mjolnir, a Copper Bulb for Storm's Edge, an End Portal Frame for Caelestis, and Soul Fire for a Slumbering Lichblade.

Repair and testing

Built-in Unique weapons use Runic Tablets for repair. Operators can test the configured loot pipeline without changing player pity by running:

/simplyswords loot_test <loot_table_id> <rolls>

For live container testing, /simplyswords loot_test_chest <loot_table_id> [count] gives loot-table-backed chests. /simplyswords pity ignore_regions true allows fresh chests placed repeatedly in one location to advance pity during the current login session; /simplyswords pity status displays the live counters.

Unique abilities and socketed gem powers scale with awakening. The ability is sealed until Awakening level 4 by default; consult the Awakening and Runic Forge section for full details.
