Weapon • Warrior
Gladius
Gladius is weapon 4 of 37 for the Warrior, and it drops in Elbeland, Devias.
Lore
The Gladius is the short sword of the old legions that marched beneath the Archangels' banner. Broad at the base with a triangular point, it was made for fighting shoulder to shoulder, shield against shield, back when the Continent still had true armies.
For the Warrior, it is a reminder that discipline beats fury. It usually falls from Captin Grizzly, the boss of Elbeland, who tore it from a fallen legionnaire, and it also surfaces in the frozen lands of Devias, buried under the snow beside its former owners.

The same item drops on Hard and Hardcore as Nightmare (+40% to flat attributes and +30% to % bonuses). On Hardcore, very rarely, it comes as Godlike (+80%) by letter.

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.
