Handy Shortsword
commonHandy Shortsword is a craftable early-game upgrade over the tutorial's Rusty Sword. It is a common-rarity Short Sword (Light class), unlocked at level 5 once the Save the Village questline (id VillageUnderAttack) is underway. It is forged for 15 forge points using materials looted from the enforcer Varnas: 1x Varnas's Horn, 1x Varnas's Hide, 1x Varnas's Cloth and 1x Syndicate Cloth.
As a common weapon it carries zero weapon abilities. Posture damage per attack type: Light 11, Heavy 100, Aerial 6, Rush 6 - the Light-class baseline shared with all daggers, rapiers and short swords. Its 1.25 attack speed and short 6-stud range make it a fast, close-range option compared to the slower Medium and Heavy weapons available at the same story point.
