Blurite sword

A Blurite sword is a weapon made during The Knight's Sword quest by giving two iron bars and a blurite ore to Thurgo the Imcando dwarf.

Players are not actually supposed to keep the sword, but it is possible to make multiples and keep the extras before completing the quest. Once you have Thurgo make you your first sword, drop that sword or wield the sword and talk to Thurgo again with the materials. He will make a second sword, and you must then pick up the sword you dropped or unwield it. Remember you can only wield one weapon at a time, so it is recommended to drop it if you need multiple copies. When you go back to talk to the squire, before you talk to him drop one of the swords, put one in the bank nearby, or "wield" it. Otherwise he will take both swords, and once you have given him one sword pick up the other (if you dropped it), and you will have your very own blurite sword. Alternatively, players can put the copies in their bank and withdraw them after they have completed the quest.

A blurite sword's attack and defence bonuses are the same as those of a steel longsword, but its strength bonus is the same as an iron longsword's. Because of that, this sword is sometimes used by Defence pures, as it is one of the strongest F2P weapon able to be used with only 1 attack. The speed though, is the same as a short swords.

If you go to Draynor Village and ask the Wise Old Man whether you should keep the blurite sword or not, he will say that it is "fairly nice" and "a decent weapon", but will also comment that you don't really need it and it would only be special to Sir Vyvin himself. He will then offer to buy it for six coins. You should probably hang on to the copy though, because you can't get it anywhere else, and is thus considered rare. This, along with a statement of a blurite sword as a reward on the official Quest page, indicates that Jagex is indeed aware of such a method to obtain additional swords, making it more of an official quest reward.

The colouring of the blurite sword is similar to that of the Training sword, but longer with a more interesting hand grip. Its speed is slightly slower than that of a scimitar, though still faster than a longsword.

[edit] Trivia
