Weapon • Warrior
Short Sword
Short Sword is weapon 1 of 37 for the Warrior, and it drops in Lorencia.
Lore
The Short Sword is every Warrior's first blade. Hastily forged in Lorencia's workshops to arm the wall's volunteers, there is nothing legendary about it: it is short, heavy in the grip and easy to repair.
Even so, the old smiths say no sword teaches as much. It is with it that a hero learns to read the horde, wait for the right strike and survive until the first boss. Many champions keep their Short Sword hanging on the wall long after wielding Archangel blades.

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.
