Iron Sword

Information
Basic Iron Sword with a shield to go with it, allowing the user to block damage

Materials Required to craft:

-10 Iron Ingots

-5 Iskith Planks



Materials Required to Max from Starting Level (?):



Abilities
Special Effects:


 * Can block more than 80 points of damage before needing to recharge
 * Restore block by hitting enemies (takes time for the block to regenerate)
 * blocking negates all damage to the player until it runs out

Tips
-You can tank more damage with the block to better protect yourself and your party

-it is not wise to use the Iron Sword for higher level dungeons as the block health does not improve even if you upgrade it

-If you want a tankier build, use the Hold-Fast ability (found in One--offs: A Valorous Stand) after running out of shield to keep fighting. Be sure to have a healer to replenish your health though, as all tank classes usually use

-Swords and Shields don't have crowd control, but they make it up with the ability to take less damage. Wear down your enemies until you're the last one standing

-since you have a shield, it is good to help take the damage from ranged attackers like archers so your party can push forward and eliminate them

-if you want a safer play style, just use the the combat roll, you will be protected by your shield

Trivia

 * The Iron used in the Iron Sword might be a reference to the Iron Age that started in 500 BC. Succeeding the Bronze Age as mankind used the harder metal as their main material for weapons, jewelry, armor and more
 * There possibly might be a secret forging technique used to create the Iron Sword, as the damage is consistent no matter how many monsters you hit, meaning the blade never dulls. The Shield as-well also never destroys completely and "regenerates" after not taking damage over time.
 * Iron is used in weight lifting as it is fairly heavy. The ingots used to craft a sword must therefore be quite small or else it would hinder the player and prevent them from sprinting and even rolling.
