Notes

• The Sword of the Kinslayer uses this skin.
• A way to farm these swords is to repeat the quest "Destroy the Ungrateful Slaves" over and over (by not accepting the reward once the enemies are all killed). If done using a solo build, any dead sword wielded by the enemy Slave Spirits will usually drop for the player. However, the quality of the drops from this quest have been greatly reduced since mid-March, 2007.
• These are also fairly easy to acquire by farming Fahranur, The First City in Hard Mode.

Trivia

• The dead sword bears a great resemblance to the Soul Reaver sword which is wielded by the vampire Kain in the "Legacy of Kain" game series.
