The Holy Sword is a Longsword that was introduced as a 7th Anniversary gift. It is dedicated to UO's sixth year, September 2002 to September 2003. You used a 7th Anniversary Code to claim one. During the 9th Anniversary, Heritage Tokens were given out which could also be used to claim a blade.

Lore

The fifth age, known as the Age of Shadows, was a difficult one. Necromancers had learned to raise the dead from their graves, and holy Paladins joined ranks to wipe the dark art of Necromancy from the world. It is a struggle that still continues. Paladins, thanks to a blacksmith with arcane knowledge, now have the Holy Sword to help in their quest.

Notes

  • Can be dyed with Pigments of Tokuno.
  • Its shortcomings (very slow for example) are often cited by players, but the item is still in fairly common use.
  • The item makes a good companion piece to the Blade of the Righteous.
