Ceremonial sword

Ceremonial swords are weapons which can be smithed in the Artisans Workshop. They require level 70+ Smithing to make. Free players are limited to making a Bronze ceremonial sword on randomly receiving an order from Aksel.

The ceremonial swords have five templates that you may get in your plans. Players must earn 30% respect to buy the ability to make and keep the sword. This ability can be bought from Elof in the western, underground part of the workshop.

The first time a player scores over 90% on a ceremonial sword, a 5,000 xp bonus is awarded.

The first time a player scores 100% (perfect) on a ceremonial sword, a 15,000 xp bonus is awarded.

The key to making ceremonial swords from the plans is knowing how hard to hit the sword with your hammer. For instance, if the player is supposed to get a certain segment to 4 or above, the player should hit it the hardest. If 2 or 3 is required, the player should hit with medium. If one is required, the player should hit lightly.


 * Hard hit = 0-5


 * Medium hit = 0-3


 * Soft hit = 0-2


 * Careful hit is a guaranteed 1, but is slower and cools more


 * Denting the blade by more than 6, or the tip by more than 8 will break it
