A sword is a one-handed melee weapon that can require investment in the Swordsmanship or Expertise (in case of the Anniversary Sword "Prominence") attribute, and has a maximum damage range of 15-22 slashing damage (with critical hits reaching 31 damage). It is one of the three preferred weapons of Warriors.

Properties[edit]

List of swords[edit]

This is a list of all the different appearances a sword may have. It is completely independent of its stats and modifiers; for example, a Gladius will be as effective as a Zodiac Sword if they share the same inscription and modifiers.
