Warborne Above Ashes: How to Get the Blinkstep Boots Item

In Warborne: Above Ashes, mobility is often the line between survival and a swift death, especially in the game's more treacherous dungeons and PvP zones. Among the most coveted items for agile adventurers is the Blinkstep Boots, a rare-tier movement-enhancing gear piece that grants teleportation dashes, increased evasion, and a sleek mobility buff that's become a favorite among Rogues, Arcblades, and mobile Hunters alike. Whether you're looking to zip across the battlefield or master movement mechanics, here's everything you need to know about how to get the Blinkstep Boots and maximize their potential.

What Are Blinkstep Boots?

Blinkstep Boots are a Mythic-quality mobility item with a unique active skill: "Blinkstep", which allows the wearer to teleport a short distance instantly, bypassing terrain, traps, and even some crowd control effects. Alongside that, they offer:

+22% Movement Speed

+15% Evasion Rating

Reduces dash cooldowns by 1.5 seconds

Blinkstep Active: Teleport 10 meters instantly (10s cooldown)

This gear isn't just about getting from A to B faster—it changes the way you approach combat, exploration, and high-skill PvP engagements.

Where to Find the Blinkstep Boots

There are three main paths to acquiring the Blinkstep Boots: World Boss drops, crafting via rare blueprints, and limited-event loot tables. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. Defeating the Phantom Corsair (Level 48 World Boss)

The Phantom Corsair, found in the Shattered Coast region, is a roaming elite boss that spawns every 3 hours. It's the most direct drop source of the Blinkstep Boots, but the drop chance is around 3-5%, making it a grind for solo players.

Location Details:

Region: Shattered Coast – Southern Windswept Shoals

Recommended Level: 45+

Mechanics: Blink-heavy movement patterns, illusion clones, and high burst AoE damage.

Best Strategy: Form a group with heavy CC, ranged DPS, and a support healer. The Corsair's blink abilities mirror those of the item itself, making this a challenging and thematic fight.

2. Crafting with Blinkstep Blueprint

If RNG isn't your friend, you can craft the boots, but it requires rare components and a specific blueprint only found from Shadowcradle Vaults.

Requirements:

Blinkstep Blueprint (Vault-exclusive loot)

3x Phaseglass Shards (found in Timefolded Chests in Astral Ruins)

5x Runed Leathers (crafted from Rare Leather + Arcane Dust)

1x Corsair Soulcore (Guaranteed drop from Phantom Corsair)

Once acquired, you can craft the item at any Tier IV Artisan Forge, but note: you must have Mobility Proficiency Level 4 unlocked in your Path of Light progression tree to even use the blueprint.

3. Seasonal Event Drops – “Ashen Rifts”

During the Ashen Rifts event, which occurs once per season, the Blinkstep Boots are part of the limited reward track for players who complete Rift Challenges and earn Warped Ember Tokens.

How to Earn:

Complete Rift anomalies and elite hunts (30 tokens per run)

Exchange 200 tokens at the Event Merchant for a Warped Cache, which has a 10% chance to contain the Blinkstep Boots

This is the fastest route if the event is active and you can consistently clear rifts with a coordinated group.

Best Classes for Blinkstep Boots

While almost any build benefits from extra mobility, three classes stand out as top-tier users of the Blinkstep Boots:

Arcblade: Combine Blinkstep with their natural dash-slash attacks to become nearly untouchable in duels.

Phantom Warden: Use Blinkstep to escape combat or enter stealth mid-fight.

Frostcaller: Escape melee attackers, reposition for AoE nukes, or blink behind cover during cooldown windows.

PvP users love the boots for sudden ambushes or disengagement, while PvE players use them to reposition quickly during high-stakes boss fights or traversal puzzles.

How to Upgrade Blinkstep Boots

Once acquired, the boots can be fused and socketed:

Fusion Materials: Requires Blinkstep Essence (from duplicate boots or Phantom Corsair Essence)

Socket Recommendations:

Void Step Rune: Adds a 2-second slow immunity after blinking

Astral Warp Core: Reduces Blinkstep cooldown by 1.5 seconds

Phantom Trail Sigil: Leaves a damaging trail behind when blinking

Upgraded Blinkstep Boots can reach Legendary status, granting an additional passive: “Momentum Flow”, which gives +10% Attack Speed for 4 seconds after blinking.

Tips for Farming Efficiently

Time Your Corsair Hunts: Join community Discords or use the in-game “Ashes Call” world boss tracker to sync your runs.

Farm Astral Ruins: Even if you don't craft the boots, Phaseglass Shards are valuable trade items.

Complete Event Tracks Early: If Ashen Rifts is active, aim to hit the 200-token threshold within the first week to maximize your chances.

Trade for Blueprints: If lucky, players will list the Blinkstep Blueprint in high-end barter markets. Expect to pay 15,000–20,000 Starfall or high-tier gear in trade.

Final Thoughts

The Blinkstep Boots aren't just a piece of gear—they're a game-changer for anyone who values speed, precision, and clever outplays. Whether you're tackling the hardest bosses or outmaneuvering opponents in PvP arenas, these boots can make you feel invincible when used correctly. Build this boot with your Warborne Above Ashes Solarbite and dominate the game.

The grind is real—but the reward is worth it. So grab your weapons, hunt down the Phantom Corsair, brave the Shadowcradle Vaults, and claim your Blinkstep legacy. The ashes won't rise themselves.
