Requiring only Strength 12 and Agility 15, it's accessible even to players early in their adventure. Its durability (159) and defense (194) ensure it can withstand prolonged combat. You can acquire this weapon as a reward for completing "The Hermit" quest, particularly if you opt for the blacksmith route involving the Semine wedding.
