A Shortsword is a one-handed melee Weapon for the Cryoknight faction. They have an attack speed of 2.25 seconds and deal Infernae damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Shortswords, provided that the player has progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a Faction, as before this point only non-faction equipment can be received.
Players who have chosen the Cryoknight faction are able to receive Shortswords in Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Epic Rarity. Players who chose the Hammermage or Guardian factions will receive Shortswords much less frequently, and only in Rare rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the Infusion system to make Epic rarity weapons for their own faction.
Shortswords are also able to be crafted by the Blacksmith profession, at an item level up to the Blacksmith level of the crafter. Different level ranges of Shortsword require different variants of the materials, but they all require 4 Cabranese Ingots.
Variants[edit | edit source]
The visual appearance of a Shortsword is dependent only on its level. Shortswords crafted by the Blacksmith profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Shortsword.

Combat Stats[edit | edit source]
All Shortswords attack at a speed of 2.25 seconds, and as one-handed weapons can be wielded alongside a Shield. They all deal Impact damage, with a chance to convert the damage to
Infernae. The weapon strength of Shortswords obeys the following formula:
Where:
- is the Item Level
- is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars
- is the elemental bonus, which is related to from the elemental chance:
Elemental bonus | Elemental chance |
---|---|
+2 | 30% – 34% |
+1 | 35% – 44% |
+0 | 45% – 49% |
From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a Shortsword is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Shortsword at level 0 Epic, at level 15 Rare, at level 30 Uncommon, or at level 45 Common will all have the same minimum combat strength of 60.
The strongest possible Shortsword is a level 500 Epic Shortsword with a maximum chance roll, which has the following stats:
