Used for	Iron tier (Iron Sword) forged from scratch via Smithing

Sword is the starting melee weapon used for Combat. New characters receive a Sword directly from the Quartermaster on the Mainland as part of the new player tutorial. It is a training blade that hits for 5 damage — deliberately tiny, so forged tiers feel like real upgrades. If you lose it, the Quartermaster will issue another free of charge — there is no waiting period; he simply will not hand you a second one while you are still carrying the first.

Use

• Equip the Sword in a hotbar slot (keys 1–6).
• Used for fighting mobs and other players in PvP zones such as the Wilderness.

Acquisition

• Given by the Quartermaster on the Mainland during the new player tutorial; he will replace a lost one free of charge, one at a time.
• The Iron Sword (iron tier) is a separate craft via Smithing — forged from scratch for 55 Iron Ingots + 1,300 Wood at Smithing 13. It hits for 26 against this sword's 5; Combat XP per kill is unchanged by your weapon.
