# ARTSABERS — Curation Category Build Brief
**Illustrating example:** *Duelling Grade* — the curated collection of hilts built for real contact-duelling: reinforced emitters, heavier blades, purpose-built sound fonts. Not every hilt in the ARTSABERS catalogue is duelling-grade; this page is the marketing-facing intro to the ones that are.
## Page purpose
A **curated collection with editorial hook**. Someone lands here because they want to duel — either LARP, competitive stage-combat, or hobbyist heavy-contact play. Reads as a marketing capsule with a promise: these hilts are built for the impact. The reader leaves either buying a duelling-grade hilt or requesting the duelling spec sheet.
## Section stack (top to bottom)
1. **Global chrome** — nav + promo bar.
2. **Breadcrumbs** — `Lightsabers ▸ Duelling Grade`.
3. **Sharp cinematic hero** — full-bleed hero with dramatic impact-shot photograph-brief placeholder (two hilts clashing mid-swing, ember spark placeholder at contact point), 100vh, curation display “DUELLING GRADE.” + editorial one-line “Built for the impact. Every one.” Primary CTA “See the collection” + ghost “Read the spec”.
4. **What “Duelling Grade” means** — editorial split. LEFT: full-bleed hilt-detail photograph-brief placeholder (close-up of a reinforced emitter). RIGHT: 3-paragraph editorial (~400 words) — what makes a Duelling Grade hilt distinct from a display hilt, the spec floor (impact rating / blade thickness / sound font choice), why ARTSABERS certifies it. Include a certification checklist: `IMPACT RATING · Verified stage-combat spec`, `BLADE · 3.5mm reinforced polycarbonate`, `EMITTER · Full metal machined cage`, `SOUND FONT · Duelling ignition variants`.
5. **Featured Duelling Grade hilts** — 3-across large product-specimen cards. Curated top 3: Anakin EP3 Duelling Grade ($459.99 real image), Ordo V2 Double-Bladed Duelling ($549.99 real image `Ordo-V2-Double-Bladed-Lightsaber-4.jpg`), Black Smasher V2 Duelling ($389.99 real image `Black-Smasher-V2-Lightsaber-5.jpg`).
6. **The full Duelling Grade line** — 3×3 tile grid (9 tiles). Each tile: photograph-brief placeholder OR real image where available, name, price, small “Duelling Grade” badge in ember. Reads as the complete curated line.
7. **The Duelling Grade spec sheet** — full-width asymmetric spec-sheet band on carbon. Same shape as MAS44’s technical specifications. Compares Duelling Grade’s spec floor against Display Grade. LEFT columns: `IMPACT RATING`, `BLADE THICKNESS`, `EMITTER FRAME`, `WEIGHT`, `SOUND FONT`, `WARRANTY`. RIGHT columns show DUELLING GRADE / Display Grade values side-by-side.
8. **From the arena — user stories** — 3-across testimonials. All from customers who use their hilts for actual contact-duelling: LARP battles, choreographed stage-combat, hobbyist heavy sparring. Feels heavier than the homepage testimonials — real stories, arena settings.
9. **Related curations** — 3-across strip: Display Grade Collection / Limited Editions / Custom Built. Each tile: photograph-brief placeholder + curation name + editorial phrase.
10. **The Duelling Grade guarantee** — full-width promise band on charcoal. Big display “If your Duelling Grade hilt breaks under normal-play contact within a year, we replace it.”, ghost CTA “Read the guarantee”.
11. **Warm capture band** — MANDATORY.
12. **Footer**.
