Fast 1h swords.

[TheGoldElite]

Heya I'm kinda new and I got to lvl 30 so I'm just wondering what sword to heirloom when I get to lvl 31. I used the espada eslavona for a while, and it was great for stabs but eh on slash. the langes messer is the exact opposite so I figured because I land more slashes than stabs it made more sense to use that. The side sword is a good compromise between the two. I'm at a loss as to which one to pick really! I dont like the scim because it lacks a stab and I think it's over-used anyways. Any thoughts?

I'm a shielder with throwing as well, good all rounder I think, and I will be next gen too.

You basically answered the question yourself buddy.

I agree with Iymore except you said you wanted a stab and that weapon often involves extreme face-hugging. Try a few of the weapons you mentioned and see which one you like the best, it generally comes down to your own personal preference.

[Osiris]

two good choices are

Knightly Arming Swordweapon length: 102
weight: 1.3
difficulty: 13
speed rating: 97
weapon length: 102
thrust damage: 24 pierce
swing damage: 31 cut
slots: 1

It gives less cut then the Nordic but nice stab

Nordic Champion's Swordweapon length: 102
weight: 1.3
difficulty: 13
speed rating: 97
weapon length: 102
thrust damage: 21 pierce
swing damage: 32 cut
slots: 1

More cut but less stab. These are two very good 1h swords


If you want cheaper upkeep try the nordic war sword or long arming sword (i have this its nice)
They are the above weapons with -1 or so stats

[SixThumbs]

I think the 3 pierce would be more valuable then the 1 extra cut.

[Osiris]

that depends on how often and how good you are with 1h stabs if you use it rarely and it bounces often then take more cut i like stab so i use the long arming sword

[TheGoldElite]

Hmm I think those are a little too slow tbh, the knightl arming sword etc. I'll just try out the side sword for now, If I like it by lvl 31 I'll loom it, because I've seen it round a few times maybe I can trade it later for a diff loomed sword? I've not traded yet so I'm not sure if it quite works that way :/ Otherwise I think I'll stay with the langes messer and loom it because I think it's pretty good so far. It doesn't compromise too much. Scrap that I think I'll go italian sword a try! lol

[Reyiz]

i suggest you to loom a hand armor mail gauntlets are the best statwise. You wont regret it trust me

[Vodner]

You would be better off looming some mail mittens / gauntlets.

If you really want to loom a 1h sword, you can't go wrong with the Italian. Decent cut, decent poke, decent length, 99 speed.

[TheGoldElite]

Yeah but since I'm throwing I can't wear gloves that are heavy or my aim will go, gloves have the highest effect pn throw wpf. besides I'm saving money having leather gloves on I wear lamellar armour but I think I'm better off looming a weapon. Whats the trade in loomed weapons like anyway? is it fairly easy to get a trade?

[El_Infante]

The best choices:
- Italian sword
- Knightly arming sword

If you don't like thrust (I suggest you to learn how to)
- Spamitard / Elite spamitard / Niuewiwaiweioadao / Liuyeidao (-1c +1s)

- If you like stabbing:
- Eslavona / Long eslavona

Edit: If you are a thrower with low agi, go for knightly without doubt.

[Reyiz]

OR you can sell your loom point for 400-450k; when you sell 2 loom points you will get roughly 900k and grind some cash with cheap gear than buy a decent mw 1h sword for 900-1000k (meanwhile you can decide on the sword)

But the knightly is the slowest there. this time round I was 18 STR 18 AGI by lvl 31, might go 21STR 15 AGI next time. Not too low in AGI no, its a proper hybrid.

I don't thnik I have THAT much time to spend grinding lol. Besides I didnt think you got to keep money when you retire?

[Laufknoten]

Yes, the italian sword is a good choice, it has overall good stats and it looks nice + it's affordable (upkeep).
