Sword

Swords are used any time two or more players sword-fight. Sword-fights occur in battles while pillaging, when one pirate challenges another to a sword-fight, at brawls in inns or ships, during sword fighting tournaments, or when fighting skellies.

All players start with a foil, but other swords can be purchased at iron mongers. Each sword has a different drop pattern that determines what blocks will be sent to an opponent when a player is fighting. All drop patterns have advantages and disadvantages, but some are better than others. Sword color can also slightly varry drop patterns on some swords. Players often select swords based on their style of sword-fighting. Not all swords may be wielded by all levels of players.

Swords dust like most other in-game items, and when your sword dusts, it is replaced with a stick.
