A type of [[:Category:Swords|sword]]. Larger and slower than the [[short sword]], but faster and smaller than the [[two handed sword]]. It can be wielded in one hand, and is better at parrying than other types of weapons, such as [[:Category:Mauls|mauls]] and [[:Category:Axes|axes]].
A quick way to increase your skill level using the long sword is to cut down trees with it. You can only reach 20 skill doing this though.
