Nord Greatsword

A striking weapon, both visually and lethally.

Nord Greatsword is a two-handed sword with no bench recipe of its own: Cast: Nord Greatsword is poured at a level 4 Black Forge from 20 Bloodgold, 2 Frozen Branch and one Mould: Nord Greatsword, then hardened into the finished weapon at a Frost Foundry, which burns Liquid Frost for 50 seconds to do it. It deals 210 slash, blocks for 76, trains Swords and has 400 durability, gaining 10 slash a level to reach 240 at quality 4. The primary is a three-swing chain with double damage on the last hit at 20 stamina a swing and 2.6m of reach; the secondary sweeps for triple damage at 40 stamina and 3m. Feeding it a Thunderblood Essence or a Frostfire Essence converts it into the Thunderblood Greatsword or the Frostfire Greatsword. It costs 5% movement speed to carry.

How it's made

No bench makes this outright. The station recipe below only upgrades it; the piece itself is cast from a mould and hardened at a Frost Foundry.

2. Pour the cast at a level 4 Black Forge
3. Harden it at the Frost Foundry

50 seconds burning Liquid Frost turns the cast into the finished Nord Greatsword. Upgrades then happen at the Black Forge, level 5 and up.

Upgrade recipe
Station Black ForgeLevel 4

Listed at the Black Forge for upgrades only; the base amounts are what the cast above already cost. Per-level costs are in the table below.

Past quality 4, the Forge of Potential will take it one level further for 1 Bloodgold Battle Idol plus 45 Bloodgold and 4 Frozen Branch. No other station asks for the idol.

Each quality level adds 10 damage and 50 durability. Quality 2 costs the per-level amount, quality 3 twice that and quality 4 four times, so the last level is more than half of the total.
