Toledo Steel Sword
Crafted from the renowned Toledo steel, this sword is a masterpiece reforged from the Hermit's broken blade. It boasts impressive stats with 132 stab damage, 125 slash damage, and 25 blunt damage. With a requirement of Strength 12 and Agility 15, it's an early-accessible gem among top-tier swords. Its durability stands at 159, and its defense at 194, making it a reliable choice for prolonged battles. You can acquire this sword as a reward for completing "The Hermit" quest, particularly if you choose the blacksmith route during the Semine wedding. Blacksmith Radwan will task you with retrieving this sword from the Hermit, Ambrose, near Apollonia, to forge it as a wedding gift for Oda Semine.
Balshan’s Sword
A legendary weapon once owned by Sir Jan Posy of Zimburg, this sword was later bestowed upon his younger brother. It's a formidable blade with 149 stab damage, 157 slash damage, and 24 blunt damage, ranking among the most powerful longswords. Requiring Strength 14 and Agility 20, it's designed for seasoned swordsmen. Its defense of 225 and durability of 120 ensure it can withstand intense combat while slicing through foes with ease.
Blacksmith’s Defender
This sword is a testament to practical combat, prioritizing functionality over flair. Though not as potent as some of its counterparts, it still delivers 75 stab damage, 86 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage, making it a solid mid-tier option. With only Strength 7 and Agility 9 required, it's one of the most accessible longswords in the game. Its defense of 126 and durability of 99 make it a dependable choice for players early in their journey.
Broad Longsword
Featuring a wider blade, this longsword offers increased durability of 200, though it may be slightly slower to wield.

Its high defense of 246 ensures it can endure extended combat. You can purchase this sword from Blacksmith Zdimir in Grund or forge it yourself using 1x Cow Skin, 1x Ordinary Sword Guard, 1x Pear Sword Pommel, 2x Iron, and 3x Frankfurt Steel.
Dry Devil’s Longsword
This finely crafted weapon is ideal for those who favor precision over brute strength, with 157 stab damage, 150 slash damage, and 30 blunt damage. It's a well-balanced and deadly choice, though its creation demands the skills of a master blacksmith due to its thin and flexible blade. Requiring Strength 15 and Agility 18, it's tailored for skilled swordsmen who excel in technique and speed.
Godwin’s Longsword
Similar to the Dry Devil’s Longsword but with more balanced stats, this weapon delivers 129 stab damage, 123 slash damage, and a notable 73.8 blunt damage. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 18, it offers 220 defense and 200 durability, making it the most durable longsword in the game. Its high-quality craftsmanship makes it an excellent choice for dueling, though it's less suited for the chaos of battle.
Hanush’s Sword
Designed for swordplay rather than warfare, this thin and well-balanced longsword deals 166 stab damage, 158 slash damage, and 32 blunt damage, excelling in fast-paced combat. Requiring Strength 16 and Agility 19, it's another weapon of choice for skilled duelists. Henry can enhance its effectiveness by offering to sharpen Hanush’s dull sword during a quest.
