A '''Guard's Longsword''' is a two-handed melee [[Weapon]]. They have an attack speed of 1.875 seconds and deal only {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Guard's Longswords, provided that the player has '''NOT''' progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a [[Faction]], as after this point only faction equipment can be received. Players  are able to receive Guard's Longswords in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. 

A [[Wall Guard's Sword]] is unqiue version of a Guard's Longsword, which always has level 10, {{Uncommon}} rarity, and 48 [[File:Damage icon.png|18px]] strength. The only difference is the name and description.

A '''Recruit's Longsword''' is functionaly identical to a Guard's sword, sharing the same appearance and combat stats, with the only difference as its name.

==Combat Stats==
{{Incomplete|The exact damage ranges of weapons are still being investigated}}
All Guard's Longswords attack at a speed of 1.875 seconds. They all deal {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage. The weapon strength of a Guard's Longsword obeys a formulae with slight variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15\times R + [5-10] </math>

Where
*<math>L</math> is the Item Level
*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

There is random variation in the stats for a Guard's Pike, determined by the term <math>[5-10]</math> for the strength.

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a Guard's Longsword is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Guard's Longsword at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have the same combat strength of '''65'''.

The strongest possible Guard's Longsword is a level 50 {{Epic}} Guard's Longsword with a max damage roll, which has the following stats:
