Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇯🇵

Sword fashioned from pure crystal; a deed impossible for a human. Enwreathed with powerful magic, its attack scales with intelligence.

The inscrutable Crystalians have but one clear purpose, to safeguard their crystals unto the end. One theory posits that they yearn for the return of their creator who will carve for them new brethren.

人には作り得ぬ純結晶の剣
魔力を帯び、知力により攻撃力が高まる

謎多き結晶人は、永遠に結晶を守っている
一説には、いつか造物主が戻ったとき
新たな同族の削り出しを願うのだという

Acquisition

Found after the bridge in the Village of the Albinaurics Site of Grace, located in Liurnia of the Lakes.

Notes

• The skill, Spinning Slash, is potentially quite damaging, especially if it catches another player offguard and with low Poise, though it's somewhat hampered by the lack of reach on Straight Swords.
• Does best as a pure Strength weapon, as Dexterity and Intelligence are somewhat hampered by having much lower scaling numbers and being based off the lower Magic base damage respectively.
  • For comparison (unmentioned stats are at the minimum required level): 80 Strength grants 652 Attack Power (AP), 45 Strength and 45 Intelligence grants 632 AP, 45 Strength and 45 Dexterity grants 624 AP, and 80 Intelligence grants 560 AP.
• A good offhand weapon for those wishing to dual-wield Straight Swords on a Strength build with some Intelligence, due to the ease of upgrading weapons reliant on Somber Smithing Stones and its somewhat mediocre skill not mattering there.

Upgrade Information

• Upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones.
• Cannot have its Affinity and Skill changed.
• The upper number in the Atk column denotes Physical base damage while the lower, colored number in the Atk column denotes elemental base damage: red for Fire damage, yellow for Lightning damage, orange for Holy damage, and cyan for Magic damage.
• See the Weapon Scaling page for what the scaling values mean.
