We need a sword. A REAL sword. If it's a quest to get, fine. More fun for me. If it's hard to get, kewl. More fun for me. If u can't use it until u are a master swordsman, all the better. More fun for me. The stats don't need to be high, the damage dosen't need to be outrageous, or a wierd type (I like the heat idea though) but it DOES need to be AP3. If swordsman are the heavy damage dealers of the melee world (and all of u know, we are) then we should get AP3 to live up to our potential. But this is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

damn, that's a cool bit of story, makes me want that sword. Also makes me want to know about the old man and how he came to get that sword.

Heheh would make it so much better to be a swordsman if we had a SWORD that was awsome wicked good. The 2h curved is good for grinding but thats about it. The scythe is uber cool, but its not the bestest. Really need a good sword.

I'd really like to see master quests for each master combat prof, the end result being a very nice weapon. Not an easy quest mind, and the pre-reqs for running it would be master and maybe a 300k combat xp. Along the quest you could get skill attachments, or increase your mods, and in the end a really nice weapon (untradable). I havent played a lot of combat profs and I dont participate in their forums, but it seems swordsmen really go for the "uber" sword type thing. Not just a damage dealing weapon, but something hard to get, something epic, something that distinguishes themselves, something that puts swords into a martial ART, that is pursued, earned, and felt. I dont really look forward to the FS quests as a way to augment professions, I think I should be able to be a better swordsman without it. Basically I want my months of playing as a swordsman to add up to something. XP has always been the scale at which we rate how good we are, but then you cap, and what next?


I never played EQ and not into the dungeon fantasy stuff, so that is not where I am coming from. The sword is such an integral part of combat, even in our modern army it is still kept as a ceremonial item. Masters of a martial art have such deep respect and commitment to their art. It would just be nice for us to be able to further explore our profession. I mean musicians get cantinas at master, cant we get something?


BTW, great story in the original post.

I like the story and the idea.


The truth is, I think we need something with a new dmg type like this, but also a nice enhanced version of the 2h curved. It doesn't have to be curved. Just a 2h sword with stats on par with with the PH. That way we can run around with a good weapon that isn't a rock on the end of a stick.

Yes i think every profession should have some ultimate goal item (but in my head i wish there was some sort of way to customize there look, wiether it be color shape outward partical effect somthin)


As for the quest itself i would like to see the whole quest as a solo journey, no groups or partners. Perhaps each mission works like Corvette where you enter a area thats souly for you. I am imagining entering lost temples or caves to find the relics of the "Nameless Blade" and not just hack/slashing mobs(though that is fun) but how about a SOME R
