Description
A large heavy sword almost as tall as a ten year old child.
The iron two handed sword is the largest type of sword. This huge sword attacks very slowly, but when you hit, it will deal quite some damage.
It is wielded in two hands, so you cannot wield a shield with it. Fortunately, it is better at parrying than other types of weapons, such as mauls and axes.
Creating
- The quality of the wooden handle affects the success chance.
- If you fail creating, the handle is lost and you create a metal scrap.
Notes
Previously, wielding this sword was not feasible when compared to the longsword and large shield alternative which offered superior defense and similar damage. However, due to changes to both weapon damage and body control, two handed weapons are now much more viable, sporting a fairly high parry rate and absolutely colossal damage at even low skill levels. However, weapon quality is of key importance with this weapon - as the damage and accuracy fallout on huge weapons is indeed, huge at lower quality grades.
Two handed weapons benefit enormously from Vynora enchants such as Wind of Ages, which vastly increases attack speed, and therefore, more damage over time. The large hits also make Flaming Aura much more effective than normal, with 90+ potency enchantments adding up to 10 damage on a normal strike.
