What Is the Mourning Wake in The Veil?
Mourning Wake is a mage weapon with two documented patch entries and a lot of trade chat around it. Here is what is actually on record.
Quick answer: the Mourning Wake is a mage-class weapon, reported as a boss drop in the community. It has two documented patch entries: the September 12 tuning removed its auto-tracking (official patch note), and the October 10 Halloween changelog listed a further tuning. No official stat sheet exists — every trade-floor stat claim stays Unverified on this page.

Why the auto-tracking removal matters
Auto-tracking was the quality-of-life that made tracking weapons forgiving — aim less, hit more. Removing it makes landing hits a deliberate act, which changes the weapon's feel more than most numbers would. That change landed as part of a wider September tuning pass that also raised mage stamina costs and pushed several bolt cooldowns from 1.0s to 1.1s (documented in the tuning notes). If you are trading on a stat sheet written before September 12, it describes a different weapon.
Should you trade for it?
- There is no official stat table for any weapon in The Veil — listings that quote precise damage numbers cannot be checked against a source.
- Compare it against peers that do have documented evidence on the weapon tier list — the Magical Harp's cast-speed reference and the Shadowbeam's nerf history give you context.
- Ask any seller for on-camera proof from the current build before paying a premium; otherwise treat the price as speculation.
- Remember the ability systems behind any weapon — passive, active and cast slots — in the weapons guide.
