You need a slashing sword weapon.  If it says piercing then no it wont work. <div></div>

[Deml]

<DIV>The weapon you need will actually say sword as the description on it, where that one says rapier.  </DIV>

<P>Sabres are not swords either, they are piercing weapons.   I have the pris 2.0 and always thought sabres were a sword, but apparently I was wrong!</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

<P>Ehm...Dual Wield sword like?:smileyhappy:</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Like a short sword or spatha. It'll say "Sword" in the description, and will do slashing damage.

Also the DW Katanas say sword in the description as well.

<P>You know, I drooled over the Darktalon for weeks, and weeks, and weeks... but by the time I finally saw one on the broker (for only 2p, no less) I had to concede that it wasn't really a justifiable purchase. My current DWs are just as good, and I try not to spend plat just to have something that looks cool. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>But I *really* want the Oblivion Edge. That dropped for us in Lab a while back, and the other ranger in my guild won it. She left the game about a month later.  :smileysad: </P> <P>Absolution (?) looks awesome as well, nice red glowy effect and kickin stats.</P>

oblivions edge and absolution both dropped for us on sundayi got beat out on oblivion and i could have taken absolution but i already have a fabled dagger and now that i'm on STR AA instead of INT i couldn't justify getting another no matter how much i wanted it<div></div>
