Swordsman Archive

Hello, Im goin for Master Brawler and I have a question regarding starting weapons. I noticed that the only cert that comes with novice Brawler is for the Dagger which i assume is for Fencer. Also it appears that completing the first box of Swordsman gives you a Two Handed Axe Cert. So what is the weapon used for xp to complete the first box?

you need to use a Heavy Axe

Start with a Heavy Axe and pick up a good 2H Curved Sword immediately after the first 6000 sword experience. That's all you need.
