Novus Swords

---

Swords are the most common weapon class used by Novus players, mostly due to the fact that there is a wide range of them available, and one of them is the most powerful melee weapon on Novus - the Fire Dagger.
A logical progression is getting a Katana (16 Atk), using it to farm Elves which have a small chance (1/800?) to drop a Longsword (17 Atk) and then using that to try to loot a Poison Dagger (18 Atk) from Mutated Rats (1/2000+ chance).
Beyond that point, you may get lucky and Wrigg could spawn and you might loot a Rotsword (19 Atk), or you can keep working through the Novus Tasks to eventually obtain a Soul Dagger (20 Atk) and Fire Dagger (21 Atk).
You may even go on to attempt to Enchant one of the higher tier weapons, but be warned that it may be very expensive to get even one attribute (be prepared to invest 500k or possibly more).
