  • Maximum damage range: 15 - 22.
  • Damage type: Slashing damage.
  • Attack rate: 1.33 seconds.
  • Base: Unsalvagable inherent (from Prophecies or Factions) or salvagable inscription (Nightfall or Eye of the North).
  • Modifiers: Sword Hilt (name prefix) and Sword Pommel (suffix).

Swords with maximum damage have been observed with attribute requirements ranging from 7 to 13. Max damage unique, collector and weaponsmith swords have an attribute requirement of 9, with the exception of Shiro's Sword, which has a requirement of 13.

[edit] Sword types
