Expertise with swords, rapiers, and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce Needs an opponent's RageNPC Quote.
'''Sword''' is a [[:Category:Combat Skills|combat skill]] that is received very early in the tutorial, after looting the body of a dead elf.
Please note that the [[Calligraphy]] Skill offers a 1 hour buff, which grants serves as the ability to use a combination of certain secondary skill for Sword abilities to get a bonus. The bonus can be things like extra damage to the mob(s) or health gains for you, and provides various sword combos and special insights.

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview=='''Sword damage ''' is actually quite goodtypically one of the first combat skills a new player finds, along with [[Unarmed]]. Predictably, the main hurdle it requires a sword to get over is to find ways to manage the Power Cost of abilities (ed: it may be just bad luck as I haven't seen any power-enhancing equipped in your main hand. Sword augments yetfocuses on damage and rage reduction, they are probably there though)with a side of armor shred.A well-geared swordsman can completely block a monster from using Rage attacks!

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 equipment and combos example, the first recipe is "Pain: If you execute SwordSlash + SwordSlash + ManyCuts in that require parryorder, you 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 use Riposte insteadbe extended by performing them on Calligraphy Benches, learned through [[Carpentry]].
