Ancient Lightning Sword
Ancient Lightning Sword is weapon 35 of 37 for the Warrior, and it drops in Ignis Volcano, Gore Tarkan, Tormenta Island.
Lore
The Ancient Lightning Sword is the grandmother of every thunder blade. It was forged long before the Lightning Sword, in an age when thunder still answered those who knew how to call it, and its steel holds the crack of a storm that no longer exists.
Only a Warrior who has crossed ruined lands can hear that crack. It falls from the Magma Sorcerer, boss of Ignis Volcano, and from the Gore Tantalose, boss of Gore Tarkan, as well as from the creatures of Tormenta Island.

Forging and refining
At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
