When you open your Great Vaults this week, look for a powerful off-hand weapon called Fateweaver. It might be the best weapon for casters this season!
What Happened on September 17th?
Blizzard made changes to Fateweaved weapons. They are still the best for Hero Track, but they are not as strong as Myth Track weapons now.

How Does Fateweaver Work?
Fateweaver is an off-hand weapon. When you use it, it gives you a Fateweaved Weapon based on your spec.
- Fateweaved Needle — Dagger for DPS players.
- Fateweaved Mallet — Mace for healers.
The weapon has special effects for both healers and DPS.
How to Get Fateweaver?
Fateweaver drops in Delves from Zekvir or from Delve Maps.
- From Zekvir — Get a Champion Track version (up to item level 619).
- From Delve Maps — Get a Hero Track version (up to item level 626).
It might also appear in the Great Vault, but this isn’t confirmed yet.
Special Effects of Fateweaved Weapons
Fateweaved weapons have a special cantrip effect:
- For DPS players — You can link to your target, getting more intellect and dealing big damage when the link breaks.
- For healers — Your healing gives more intellect and power to you and your allies.
The effect happens often, making it very powerful.
Are Fateweaved Weapons Good?
Yes! Fateweaved weapons are even better than Mythic weapons for many players, thanks to the cantrip effect. For DPS, they offer a small damage boost, and for healers, they help buff allies.
Fateweaved Weapon Bugs
There were bugs before, where the weapon didn’t upgrade properly. This has been fixed, but players with old, low-level versions will need to get a new one.
What’s Next for Fateweaved Weapons?
These weapons are strong because of their cantrip effect. Blizzard might reduce its power, but for now, they are still among the best for Hero Track players. Keep checking your Delves and good luck getting one!
Conclusion
Fateweaved Weapons are great for both casters and healers. They have a special magic effect called a “cantrip” that makes you and your friends stronger. When you attack or heal, the weapon can create a thread between you and your target, boosting your power or dealing damage.
To get a Fateweaved Weapon, you can find it in delves or from delve maps. You might also get it from your Great Vault, but that’s not confirmed yet. These weapons are some of the best you can get, even better than many Mythic weapons because of their strong magic effects.
