Buy whatever sword you like best. It always depends on what you use it for and what kind of swords you like. If you have new shield at all I would buy one but you can get ok ones really cheap. You have to decide.

If you want a green you can get the following: Grognar's Sword (P), Victo's Blade (P), Kanaxai's Edge (F), Quivering Blade (F), Shiro's Sword (F), Sskai's Sword (F). Again it's your personal opinion which stats and which skin is best for you.

Just buy greens, they are most effective and come with perfect stats. You could also try collector's weapons

They can also be replicated for a lot less money.

For example, Kanaxai's Edge is simply a Max Damage (9 Swordsmanship), 15^50, Sundering Crenellated Sword of Fortitude. The plus side to this DIY approach is that you can look for a skin that matches your armour.

Case in point: A Droknar's Forge-crafted Long Sword fits well with Tyrian 1.5K Gladiator's Armour.

[EDIT]15K armour is much later in the game. In Cantha this will be in Leviathan Pits (Luxon), Vasburg Armoury (Kurzick) or Divine Path (Canthan Ascended)... I think. There's also 15K available in the Fissure of Woe too, but you have to do a few quests before you can craft it. And you need a lot of materials.

Buy a 15^50 sword, get a +5 AL pommel and a 3/1 vampiric hilt. Save yourself alot of money, and those mods are more efficient.

On a warrior +30hp is more efficient, and there is a debate about 20/20 vs 3/1. So dont take anyone's word..

Not 100% true...+30 HP is good when u are under degeneration, +5 defense is for ur regular attacks and attack skills

Easiest way to get a 15^50 sword for cheap. Go to guildwiki.org and type in sword in the search box. There will be a list of types of swords. Find one that you like. Go to the Buy forum and post that you would like to buy a high req(12, 13) copy of your desired sword. A req 13 15^50 Fellblade(one of the most popular sword skins) can go for 30k. Then buy your desired sword hilt and then I'd suggest a +5 armor pommel (Defense).

Or, look for a collector.

Kurzick = Vasburg Armory.

I'd just do what ZenRgy suggested...that's a very efficient combo

To purchase the +30hp would use up most of your 70k. Armor +5 is quite useful and can be bought for 3k ish.

You could buy a green sword but then you wont get exclusivity as well greens are kinda common and not overly rare.

Maybe browse the pictures of weapons on guildwiki.org then chose one you like the best and try and acquire it.

Way ahead of you


If you have to, use a victos blade. They're cheap and if the +30 being best guy is right (not imo, but everyone has opinions), the best you can buy.

While what Pointless says is with merit,
it is not always true...i.e. the example given.
Buying a req. 9 15^50 Crenellated sword, a 20/20 sundering hilt and a +30 hp pommel will cost more than just buying Kanaxai's Edge.

There are times where this is true and times that it is not true...it just depends on the skin and stats you want.

My advice is this..If you want a rare skin with the most popular max mods...buy the green equivalent.

If you want functionality as opposed to aesthetics, build your own weapon, especially if you want to use mods that aren't that popular. (read anything but 20/20 sundering or +30hp)

Or better yet, farm what you want on your own...that is what I did...and now all my cash goes to cap sigs, skills and armor.

I couldn't agree with you more, although I like furious and zealous myself.
