This weapon dates back to the old empire. It's not great, but it says something that it has lasted this long. It's been re-fitted and sharpened in recent times, and still holds a good edge.

–In-game description

Ancient weapons are older weapons from the Old Empire, salvaged and refitted for combat. This manufacturer is the second-lowest tier in the game.

Ancient weapons tend to be less expensive and lighter than normal, but also slightly worse when it comes to cutting damage. The vast majority of factions and characters use these as their weapons, and is generally the standard weapon quality for most of the militaries across the world.

Their reduced weight make them suitable as training weapons for weaker characters.

Trivia[]

  • Given how often military armies demand Ancient-grade weapons and how common smitheries are everywhere, it is likely that many of the ancient-version weapons are not scavenged/salvaged and refitted from ancient locations but simply crafted as an imitation of the prototype.
  • Due to how the game decides to round (visually) Ancient quality weapons like ninja blade will show at 0kg in game although they weigh 0.7kg.
