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.
