== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview=='''Sword''' is typically one of the first combat skills a new player finds, along with [[:Category:Combat Skills|combat skillUnarmed]] that is received very early . Predictably, it requires a sword to be equipped in the tutorialyour main hand. Sword focuses on damage and rage reduction, after looting the body with a side of armor shred. A well-geared swordsman can completely block a dead elfmonster from using Rage attacks! [[Calligraphy]] serves as the secondary skill for Sword, and provides various sword combos and special insights.

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.
