Same category — likely alternatives at the same level band.
- Aurora Sword
All incoming light fractures on the surface of this elegant blade, creating a dancing ensemble of floating colors. It is practically dripping with excellence.
Lv 50 - Apex Machete
The weapon brandishes an interlocking pattern of dark and light by partially covering its fuller with a blackened outer shell. The sword's sides are asymmetric, making one ideal for slashing while the other excels in prying or hacking through its pronounced claw-like appendage.
Lv 45 - Spine Of Dalszul
Rectangular flints reach outwards from the blade's core, some as big as your fist. Their peaks and valleys make up the image of a gargantuan spine befitting an apex predator - hence the reference to the drakian god who strove for dominion of the continent.
Lv 45 - Acid Cleaver
A cleaver coated with acid and bile. Its victims can mend the bleeding but rarely stop the toxins from spreading.
Lv 40 - Bronze Sword
A light and swift sword of beautiful color. It dulls quickly, though.
Lv 40 - Dragon Sword
A mythical blade from long gone days. Legends say that it was passed on to Embervale by a wise spirit who descended from the stars in the year of the dragon.
Lv 40 - Enflamed Sword
A burning sword, glowing with power. It burns hot enough to reduce the mana of its prey with every hit.
Lv 40 - Extinguished Sword
Although no longer enflamed this formerly magical sword still has a sharp edge.
Lv 40 - Fang Blade
This blade is razor-sharp like the fangs of the terrifying creatures that prowl the Nomad Highlands.
Lv 40 - Fell Broad Sword
A heavy sword wielded by armored Fell.
Lv 40 - Greater Golden Twinflame Sword
An elaborate sword, decorated in gold filigree. It came from the skies as a shooting star years ago, and fell into the gasping maw of a cave.

A blade that's cold to the touch. It weighs heavily on the mind.
Lv 40
