Hiver-Claimed ArmouryReport
English：Hiver-Claimed Armoury · Locations
The ancient armoury is still where it always was — only the thing crouched behind the door is now a Droneguard. Three of them exist, and their gear artifact value runs up to 150,000 Cats, which makes them the ruin type that drops the most blades.
A Hiver-Claimed Armoury is an ancient armoury taken over by the Southern Hive. There are three of them on the continent:
| Region | Count |
|---|---|
| Greyshelf | 2 |
| Royal Valley | 1 |
Greyshelf is a slab of bare rock plateau sitting above Stobe's Gamble, where acid rain and black Gorillo apes sandwich the Southern Hive's patrol lines. The ancient armouries are still there; it is just that what waits behind the door is a Droneguard now.
Who is inside
| Unit | Notes |
|---|---|
| Armoury Droneguard | Southern Hive Soldier Drone. Their weapon quality is a tier above other Droneguards — the wiki's guess is that those blades came out of the armoury they are standing in |
| Prince | The squad leader, accompanied by a group of Droneguards |
| Droneguard | Standard guard |
| Drone | — |
What is here
The armoury's gear artifact value runs from 10,000 to 150,000 Cats, while its item artifact value is zero. Those numbers state the purpose plainly: this place does not drop components, it drops blades.
The Royal Valley example guarantees seven weapons:
| Weapon | Manufacturer |
|---|---|
| Katana | Edgewalkers Edge Type 1 |
| Flesh Cleaver | Edgewalkers Edge Type 1 |
| Wakizashi | Edgewalkers Edge Type 1 |
| Short-Cleaver | Skeleton Smiths Mk III |
| Moon Cleaver | Skeleton Smiths Mk II |
| Desert Sabre | Catun Scrapmasters No.1 |
| Foreign Sabre | Catun Scrapmasters No.2 |
Ordinary loot is far plainer:
Buildings
- Armoury
- Residential (probable)
Not much of a footprint — but the value of this location was never in its building count.
After the Reavers fall
One world state is worth remembering:
Valamon is the leader of the Reavers, a Shek carrying a Meitou Longsword, based in the Ark.
What it means for the player
Hiver-Claimed Armouries are among the few locations in Southern Hive territory worth a dedicated trip. The garrison is harder than a Southern Hive Village, but the guaranteed weapon quality fully justifies it.
If your squad is stuck at the stage where it beats bandits but loses to regular troops, those three Edgewalker blades are often exactly the step across.
