Item:Swashbuckler

From DDO wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

An indispensable tool for many a pirate when dueling with a single blade. It can parry an enemy's blows effectively and even leave them open to counterattack.

Update 39 (2018) Shield Upgrade[edit]

You may convert your pre-U39 Swashbuckler to the U39 version by talking to Euphonia Teles and telling her I have some old gear I'd like to freshen up. This conversion is free using the Conversions of Crystal Cove barter box.

Legacy Version[edit]

Note: Update 12 corrected it to being a Buckler instead of a Small Shield with stats of a Large Shield, so it now has 5% ASF (instead of 15% ASF) and no Armor Check Penalty (instead of -1 ACP).
Note: Update 14 then changed Bucklers to have 0% ASF.
