Joineries

Try to obtain at least a Polished Joinery if you’re unable to find a Blessed by Mora. Keep in mind that switching to a different Blessed version (such as Blessed by Saphene) will alter the weapon’s main stat to Grace or Spirit instead. If you decide to use a Blessed variant, make sure it’s Blessed by Mora to maintain the correct main stat.
