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!
Bonus levels to Sword skill can be obtained from the following skills and levels: {| class="sortable" {{AATST}}STDT|mw- style="background: #ec81bf;text-align:left;"! style="min-width:120px;"|collapsible<span style="cursor:pointer;"includeonly>Ability Namemw-collapsed</spanincludeonly> }}!
