Where it sits on the Anvil ladder
The Weapon Upgrade Anvil runs two ladders: upgrading walks a piece up its own family, while trading jumps sideways into a different weapon — and trades can bypass rank locks the shop enforces.
Cosmetic twins
This shares its numbers with the Aged Flintlock Musket: same damage, same range, same price and the same rank lock. The difference is engraving.

Carrying it
Every shot feeds the forest's awakening timer, so a ranged kill is never free — see noise discipline. Being a flintlock, it fires in rain when every matchlock in the crew has gone quiet — that weather insurance is most of what the higher price buys. Ammunition economics are on the items page.
This is an Agedpiece — one rung below its finished version, which is exactly why it's worth buying. Measured across all seventeen aged/finished pairs the damage penalty runs 8–15%, while range drops much harder. Buy it for the low entry price and the missing rank lock, then feed it to the Anvil.

How much damage does the Aged Cthulhu Flintlock Musket do in The Mound?
60 damage, with 5,100 range. That ranks it 6 of 36 among weapons with published figures. The game never shows you this number in-game, so it is a community measurement — we publish it only because two independent databases agree on it.
How much does the Aged Cthulhu Flintlock Musket cost?
40c in the shop, and it needs explorer rank 2 before it appears. As an Aged piece it's the cheap entry to its family — the Anvil finishes the job.
What does the Aged Cthulhu Flintlock Musket upgrade into?
The Cthulhu Flintlock Musket, for 20 tokens at the Weapon Upgrade Anvil aboard the Tempestad.
Is the Aged Cthulhu Flintlock Musket better than the Aged Flintlock Musket?
No — the numbers are the same: 60 damage and 5,100 range on both. Both cost 40c. Both need rank 2. Beyond that the Aged Cthulhu Flintlock Musket is a cosmetic reskin, so choose on appearance.
