Attack Type: Pierce or Slash, roughly equivalent
Fast for: Ranger, Paladin, Rogue Viable for: Cleric
Uniques: Blade of Losoth, Ebonblade
  • Pros: Very common, easy to dual with
  • Cons: Low damage, not a whole lot of choices
  • High End Choices: The wolfblade your average high end, can insert a star caverns gem into it for more damage, ebonblade is ok but nothing great. Best bet is gathering of the spiders, a document weapon. Blade of losoth and mithril shortswords are good for mages.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Steel butterfly blades from felgands best bet as they are designed for dualling, serrated shortswords from shieldhand do some good damage specials, the blackened gladius and wakizashi not too horrible.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-20 Wooden sword from Nepeth, Slim sword from fairy ring.
  • 20-40 Worn sword from Fort Vaugn, Blade of Losoth from Drow Caverns, mithril shortsword from yosra
  • 40-70 Plain sword from Fort Vaugn, Quality Shortsword from Marika.
  • 70-100 Wolfblade from Star Caverns, Gathering of the Spiders doc weapon
