  • All one-handed swords can be poisoned using the Poisoning skill
    • But no two-handed swords weapons can be poisoned.
  • The chance to hit with a swords class weapon is equal to (Player's Swordsmanship skill + 50) / ((Defender's Weapon or Wrestling skill + 50) * 2), plus any relevant accuracy bonuses
  • Increases Base Weapon Damage by (25% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill) in PvM.
  • Reduced to Base Weapon Damage by (10% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill) in PvP.

  • Swords Weapon Specials apply a stackable 8% Lacerate Effect with a max effect of 24% on a target
  • Causes the target to take "Bleed" damage every 3 seconds for the next 15 seconds
