Sword Mastery (Fighter and Page)

Data verified: pre-launch

One-handed swords are the Warrior branch's fastest melee weapons, and the only weapon type that both warrior second jobs learn a mastery for. Fighter and Page each get their own Sword Mastery skill, so a sword remains a valid choice whichever way the second job advancement goes, which is not true of any other warrior weapon.

Being one-handed, a sword leaves the off-hand free for a shield. That is the trade the whole category is built around: less raw weapon attack than a two-handed weapon of the same level, in exchange for the defense and stat bonuses a shield adds.

What a one-handed sword does

• Fast attack speed. Seventeen of the nineteen swords on the wiki are rated Fast, the quickest tier any warrior melee weapon reaches.
• Scales damage on STR. The standard warrior stat line applies.
• Allows a shield in the off-hand.
• Mastered by either second job. Sword Mastery exists separately for Fighter and for Page.

Used by

Swords are a Warrior weapon. Two of the nineteen are also flagged for Thief use, and the low-level swords carry no job restriction at all, so a Beginner can equip one before advancing.

The choice between Fighter and Page does not close the door on swords the way it does on axes and blunt weapons, since both branches master them.

Sword or axe

Both are one-handed warrior weapons that reach the same ceiling: the strongest sword and the strongest axe on the wiki both stop at 87 weapon attack, and both are level 70 items. The difference is the mastery. Axe Mastery belongs to Fighter alone, so a Page who picks up an axe never gets a mastery bonus for it, while both branches master swords. A blunt weapon is the mirror case, mastered only by Page.
