So I think we have punching pretty well taken care of, but does anyone have advice on how to buy a decent sword?


Asides from just like, go to the market and find one.

And neither of those things would be very good for fighting actual daemons, huh?

Would it be too much to assume there's an actual weaponsmith in town?

The former will be unbalanced and will either swing badly or tire you out quickly, the latter will at best be flying debris if it hits anything harder than a pillow.

There is one in fact, though you can also ask the Anvil of Hadur's workers here. Most of them specialize in runic work, but many are smiths proper.

It's not going to be expensive, is it? I had been kind of thinking of getting one second-hand because it's not like I have loads of cash to throw around.

[bejustorbedead]

From the Anvil it should be covered by student expenses. Outside will depend on what you're asking for and the length... you're close to my height, so depending on the style, you might need a slightly longer length.

[transfusionem]

Wait, seriously? It's a covered expense?

And it's good to know about the length bit.

There's some expectations of equipment needing to be replaced - I had an unfortunate run in with an Outland monster that rusts up metal by touching it on my very first mission here.

Have you figure out what kind of sword you're looking at?

[transfusionem]

If I knew that I'd probably have looked into getting a weapon way earlier...

And I'm not sure. I've only tried out the practice swords available here, haven't really gotten to the real blade stage yet.

It's honestly kind of overwhelming.

[bejustorbedead]

Take your time, the right blade can make a world of difference. I can assist between classes if you would like?

[transfusionem]

If it wouldn't be a bother to you, I'd really appreciate it!

[bejustorbedead]

It wouldn't be.

Thank you so much!
