== {{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!
[[Calligraphy]] serves as the secondary skill for Sword, and provides various sword combos and special insights.
=== In-Game Description ===
Expertise with swords, rapiers, and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce an opponent's Rage.
=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===<!-- A list of methods to learn and level the skill -->* New players learn/obtain Sword by picking up the starting backpack on [[Anagoge]] * [[Nelson Ballard]] teaches Flashing Strike 1-4 and Precision Pierce 1-4 * [[Malvol]] teaches Decapitate 1-4, 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: {| {{STDT| mw-collapsible<includeonly> mw-collapsed</includeonly>}}! Skill || Level|-| Orcish || 35|-| Knife Fighting || 42|-| Calligraphy || 25|-| Calligraphy || 50|-| Goblinese || 15|-| Goblinese || 35|-| Hoplology || 40|} ==Connected Skills=='''Sub-Skills:'''* None'''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. : The duration of Calligraphy effects can be extended by performing them on Calligraphy Benches, learned through [[Carpentry]].'''Related Skills:'''* None == {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Basic Abilities==As you level {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}, you will learn the following abilities:{| class="sortable" style="width:100%; border:1px solid silver;margin:0 0 1em;" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" rules=all|- style="background: #ec81bf;"! align="left" style="width:200px" | <span style="cursor: pointer;">'''Ability'''</span> ! align="left" style="width:80px;" | <span style="cursor: pointer;">'''Req.
