== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Sword''' is typically one of the first combat skills a new player finds, along with [[Unarmed]]. Predictably, it requires a sword to be equipped in your main hand. Sword focuses on damage and rage reduction, with a side of armor shred. A well-geared swordsman can completely block a monster from using Rage attacks!
* [[Nelson Ballard]] teaches Flashing Strike 1-4 and Precision Pierce 1-4
* [[Malvol]] teaches Decapitate 1-34, Thrusting Blade 1-3, and Heart Piercer 1-4
* [[Janet Lews]] will unlock levels 51-60, 61-70, and teaches level 51+ abilities
* [[Pegast]] will unlock levels 71-80, and teaches level 71+ abilities
* Levels 81-90 may be unlocked by gaining favor with a mysterious entity deep beneath [[Povus]].
Bonus levels to Sword skill can be obtained from the following skills and levels:

'''Secondary Skills:'''
* [[Calligraphy]]
: Calligraphy is Sword's secondary skill. Every time you level Calligraphy, you will learn a new recipe. Performing these recipes will give you a combo: if you execute that combo, it will have some extra effect. For example, the first recipe is "Pain: If you execute SwordSlash + SwordSlash + ManyCuts in that order, the final step deals 5 extra damage." Some recipes have passive insights that will be applied for the duration - Pain+ increases all your Direct Slashing damage by 1. ff
: The duration of Calligraphy effects can be extended by performing them on Calligraphy Benches, learned through [[Carpentry]].
