— Merchant

Swords are the player's basic melee weapon, available from the beginning of the game. The Copper Shortsword is given to the player at character creation (Wooden Sword in the  Mobile version and  3DS version). Swords progress through the various tiers of ore and other crafting materials, with some unique swords available only as loot later in the game. Some swords shoot projectiles, allowing you to deal damage to enemies from long range.

Most swords can be classified as either Shortswords or Broadswords. Shortswords generally protrude horizontally in the direction the player is looking and have a minimal range of motion. Broadswords have a longer range and swing around the front of the player.

In total, there are eight Shortswords, the rest being broadswords.
