Verse Piece: Rowan Rework Complete Guide & Showcase

Rowan has always been a fan-favorite weapon in Verse Piece, originally introduced as a limited-time Halloween event sword. Over the years, it became a rare collectible, only obtainable through special events like the Happy New Year Chest and Valentine Chests. But now, Rowan is officially back, completely reworked, and featuring a proper obtainment method! If you’ve been eagerly waiting to wield Rowan once again, or if you’re new to the game and excited to get your hands on this legendary blade, you’re in the right place. My guide will walk you through everything you need to know about Rowan’s rework: how to get it, what’s changed, and some tips to make the grind easier.

Rowan Rework Complete Guide & Showcase

Instead of relying on event chests, you’ll now need to take on the Son of Rowan world boss to get Rowan, a tough fight that requires 50 Boss Tickets per summon. The sword itself has only a 1% drop rate, so expect a grind.

Alternatively, you can collect 100 Rowan Fragments and the Son of Rowan Trait to purchase it outright. But be warned, getting the trait means defeating the boss 50 times, and if you buy the sword, your trait gets removed!

It’s a challenge, but with Rowan’s powerful new moveset, including devastating AoE attacks and strong synergy with stun effects, I guarantee you that’s it’s well worth the effort.

How To Get Rowan (Reworked)

To get Rowan, you’ll need to defeat the Son of Rowan world boss multiple times. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

• Summoning the Son of Rowan Boss:
  • Requires 50 Boss Tickets.
  • Boss has a chance to drop Rowan Weapon (1%) and Rowan Fragments.
• How to Get Boss Tickets:
  • Exchange Mythical Items at Bleach Island.
  • Fishing also provides Boss Tickets.
• Finding the Rowan NPC:
  • Head over to Blacksmith Island.
  • The Rowan NPC located under a tree lets you purchase Rowan for: 100 Rowan Fragments & Son of Rowan Trait (required for purchase).

Getting the Son of Rowan Trait

To unlock this trait, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Boss Spawn Island.
2. Accept the Son of Rowan Trait quest.
3. Defeat 50 Son of Rowan Bosses to complete it.
4. Important Tip: Before defeating the 50th boss, make sure to equip a different trait, as this one will replace your current one.

If you’re looking to save some time, accept the Rowan quest, defeat him once, then cancel and retake the quest. This way, you won’t have to defeat 50 more bosses if you don’t get the sword from the drop. On the last boss fight, you’ll have 50 kills for the trait and 49 for another attempt.

You can also get the sword by directly defeating the Son of Rowan boss. The drop chance is 1%, meaning it may take a while. Some players have reported obtaining it after 47 boss fights and even more.

Now, if you’re looking to buy Rowan’s Sword, you might be asking “Does your trait get removed if you buy Rowan’s Sword?” Yes, purchasing Rowan’s Sword will remove the Son of Rowan Trait.

Rowan Showcase (Reworked)

Rowan’s rework comes with a brand-new moveset, offering smooth combat mechanics and powerful DPS abilities. Here’s a breakdown of its key attacks:

• M1 – Basic Attack
  • Smooth strikes with three attack patterns.
  • Deals 1.5M damage per hit.
• Z Move – Spinning Scythe Projectile
  • Throws a spinning and moving scythe projectile in a line for 4 seconds.
  • Can deal up to 6.5M damage.
• X Move – Ground Stomp & Scythe Spin
  • Stomps the ground, dealing 2.5M damage.
  • After a short delay, spins the scythe around, hitting everyone in the area for 3M damage.
• C Move – Jump & Summoning Circle
  • Jumps and stomps the ground, summoning a circle with purple smoke.
  • The smoke deals up to 6.5M damage.
• V Move – Explosive Projectile
  • After a short cast, fires a projectile that explodes at a distance.
  • Similar to the C move, leaves a lasting explosion.
  • Can deal up to 7M damage.

If you’ll notice, Rowan’s kit works extremely well with stun chance effects, particularly the Ice Artifact and Fallen Angel race. Since he has multiple DPS-based attacks, this allows stun effects to trigger more often, keeping enemies locked down while maximizing damage output.

Wrap-Up & Fix to Rowan Issue

I have Rowan’s sword in my inventory, but I can’t equip it. What’s going on?

Well, this is actually a glitch. The real Rowan sword has a higher rarity than Exotic. If you actually obtained it, the game will notify you and auto-equip it. If it’s still bugged, try restarting your game.

Hopefully, my guide makes your Rowan grind in Verse Piece smoother! Whether you’re hunting for drops or saving up for the purchase, good luck!
