Weapon • Warrior
Sword of Assassin
Sword of Assassin is weapon 2 of 37 for the Warrior, and it drops in Lorencia, Noria.
Lore
The Sword of Assassin is a slender blade of darkened steel, born in Lorencia's back alleys long before the wall was raised. The thieves who carried it rubbed soot into the metal so it would not gleam by torchlight, and the weapon ended up named after those who wielded it in the dark.
Today it serves the Warrior who has survived the first horde and wants quicker strikes than a recruit's blade allows. It usually falls from Death Bone, the boss of Lorencia, and also turns up among the creatures of Noria's forests, dropped by adventurers who never made it home.

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.
