==Overview==
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' are shattered weapons that can be restored into usable weapons at the {{ItemFrame|Ancestral Forge|type=Structure}} or fused with other ancestrals at the {{ItemFrame|Fusion Forge|type=Structure}}. They're randomly generated, including their names. While they are considered to be tier six alongside merciless iron weapons ([[Gear Level]] 18), they are more powerful ([[Gear Level]] 20).

They are guaranteed to drop from [[Carriages]] in [[Dunley Farmlands]], have a '''50%''' chance to drop from Tier 1 [[Rift Incursions]] and a '''25%''' chance from Level 53 - 76 [[V Blood Carriers]] (excluding [[Terah the Geomancer|Terah]] & [[Gaius the Cursed Champion|Gaius]]).

May also be purchased directly from the southern [[Vendors#Ruins of Mortium|Vampire Merchant]] for {{ItemFrame|Stygian Shard|750|discountable=N}}s each.

They're infused with '''2''' random attributes in addition to their random [[Abilities|Spell School]] effect, causing secondary [[Weapon Skill]] (Q) hits to inflict {{Debuff|Leech}} / {{Debuff|Ignite}} / {{Debuff|Condemn}} / {{Debuff|Weaken}} / {{Debuff|Chill}} / {{Debuff|Static}}.

Unlike {{ItemFrame|Epic Ancestral Greatsword|display=Epic Ancestral Weapons|type=Weapon}}, they can be upgraded twice at the {{ItemFrame|Ancestral Forge|type=Structure}} by using a Dark Silver & Sanguine [[weapons|weapon]] of the same type. Doing so increases the ancestral weapon's tier, [[Gear Level]] (20, 24, 27) and physical power (19.9, 24.3, 29.3) while keeping their ability modification and attribute stats.

==Possible Attribute Rolls==
Rare Ancestral weapons have '''2''' random attributes. Each attribute has a minimum base value, which is then randomly multiplied by 1 - 5. There are 14 different attributes in total. Refer to the table below:

== Rolling a Specific Rare Ancestral Shard==
Given that there are 6 possible '''infusions''', the chance to roll a desired one is '''1/6'''. ('''16.67%''')

Given that there are '''14''' possible attributes, and you get '''2''' distinct rolls to obtain your desired one, the chance to roll your desired attribute is:
<math>1 - \left(\frac{13}{14} \times \frac{12}{13}\right) = 1 - \frac{6}{7} = \frac{1}{7} \approx 0.1429\ (14.29\%)</math>

Thus, the chance to roll a rare shard with a '''specific infusion''' + a '''specific attribute''' is:
<math>\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{42} \approx 0.0238\ (2.38\%)</math>
Which is the equivalent of about '''1 in 42 weapons'''.
