Your initial weapon choice determines your class progression path. Choose wisely - this decision is permanent.
⚠️ Weapon Path Locking System
- ✓ Your First Weapon is PERMANENT: The weapon you buy from Blacksmith Demetrius locks your class path
- ✓ Proficiency Matters: You must reach Grade A proficiency to unlock advanced classes
- ✓ Nocturnal Edge Trap: Even if you find it, you can't use it without choosing Scythe initially
- ✓ Mortal Blade is PvP Bait: Long startup frames make it easily countered - avoid for PvP
