Pitiful Edward Bulwer-Lytton simply the sword is far mightier than whatsoever pen in Conan Exiles. One-handed blades are particularly useful every bit they get out i mitt open up for potential shield use. It's hard to plough down a potent sword when trying to survive and thrive in Conan'southward rough and tumble world.

While it tin can be difficult to pick the perfect weapon, some i-handed swords stand up out above the rest. Some bargain more than damage while others can pierce even the thickest armor.

x Sword of Northward'Ruka

conan exiles cave exploration
  • Damage:56
  • Armor Penetration:9.45%

It's more of a kopis or a large cutting knife than a sword but it decapitates and dismembers only equally well. The Sword of Due north'Ruka is a pretty weapon that can double every bit a luxury item due to its gold hue.

On top of the decent stabbing and slashing stats, this sword also grants the wielder a +v to Dust, making them actress resilient to fatigue. It won't permit wielders impale their enemies the fastest merely the weapon is easy to larn and then the modest late game impairment is excused.

ix Argossean Short Sword (Ballsy)

shortsword combat in conan exiles
  • Damage:56
  • Armor Penetration:15.3%

Size is never indicative of the performance, which is why those who judged the Argossean Short Sword are probably either expressionless or enslaved past now. Despite having the same conservative impairment numbers as the Sword of N'Ruka, the Argossean Short Sword has way higher penetration.

That's a fitting stat for it every bit the sword was fabricated to be an equivalent of the Roman Empire's Gladius, which was made for quick jabbing actions from behind a shield. It'southward also calorie-free and quite durable. Players volition need the Architects of Argos Pack DLC for this one.

  • 1 Weapon Handle
  • 30 Star Metallic Bar

viii Sword of the Greyness Ones

conan exiles sword combat
  • Damage:62
  • Armor Penetration:nine%

Whoever the Grayness Ones are inConan Exiles, players ought to thank them for giving inspiration to one of the most competitive swords in the game. They're apparently, the discreet aliens of the game's lore and thus, the weapon derived from their materials is weird.

For i, the Sword of the Grey Ones, lore-wise, has strange markings and growths in its blade. Do annotation that this i is just an false of the actual stuff that the Grey Ones used and is made with homo hands. The harm is high but the penetration is small.

Crafted with:

  • 30 Composite Obsidian
  • i Weapon Handle
  • five Alchemical Base
  • 1 Blackened Heart

vii Titan's Fingernail (Epic)

  • Damage:62
  • Armor Penetration:17.84%

The Titan's Fingernail stays true to its name when it comes to stats every bit the weapon is powerful enough to deal with well-nigh enemies that wearable heavy armor. Despite the less-than-swish name though, the Titan's Fingernail is actually a pretty weapon and doesn't look like a behemoth's overgrown talons.

The armor penetration comes in a whopping 17.87 percent-- one of the highest in the game and the damage isn't as well far off from the game'southward top blades either. The weapon does only come up from theIsle of Siptah DLC.

Crafted with:

  • i Weapon Handle
  • 63 Eldarium

half dozen Sword of the Reaver (Epic)

conan exiles combat
  • Impairment:62
  • Armor Penetration:17.84%

If players don't similar the moniker given to the Titan'southward Fingernail or find its stats a little wanting, then the Sword of the Reaver might exist a better choice. Information technology has the aforementioned impairment and armor penetration as the Titan'southward Fingernail but comes in with a boundless number of player stat bonuses.

These are +2 to Strength, +ii to Agility, +2 to Survival, +2 to Vitality, +2 to Accurateness, +2 to Encumbrance, and +two to Dust. They might not be high enough to feel significantly advantageous but this sword is perfect for an all-rounder exile.

Crafted with:

  • i Weapon Handle
  • 63 Eldarium

5 Guardsman's Sword

jewel of the west pack in conan exiles
  • Harm:65
  • Armor Penetration:17.84%

Then again, all those bonus stat boosts from the Sword of the Reaver might be unwarranted. Some players simply want big damage with no gimmicks and additional clutter that might every bit well be empty promises.

The Guardsman'south Sword is ameliorate than the Sword of the Reaver in that regard. Information technology has slightly college damage (by about 3) and has the same armor penetration. In a game with combat as precarious every bitConan Exile's, these extra 3 points of damage can add up well to a life-saving amount.

Crafted with:

  • one Weapon Handle
  • 63 Eldarium

4 Black Ice Broadsword

  • Damage:67
  • Armor Penetration:9%

Speaking of higher impairment, then the Blackness Ice Broadsword might also be a better choice than any previous items. Information technology's a sword made out of ice, thus making it an apt weapon for a cold-blooded killer, figuratively speaking.

Black Water ice Broadsword's impairment is slightly college than that of Guardsman's Sword. Information technology does come up with a tradeoff of having significantly lower armor penetration. Merely hey, it'southward a sword made out of water ice, that'south only fair.

Crafted with:

  • 1 Weapon Handle
  • 17 Eldarium

3 Voidforge Gladius

isle of siptah monsters
  • Impairment:73
  • Armor Penetration:17.84%

If harm is all a thespian wants, then they shouldn't lower their standards if those standards are anything close to the Voidforge Gladius. It'south besides a DLC weapon from the Isle of Siptah, like the Guardsman'south Sword and the Sword of the Reaver.

The divergence is that it has a whopping 73 damage but the same second-highest armor penetration as the abovementioned swords. That already makes information technology the most highly-seasoned weapon requiring Eldarium to craft.

Crafted with:

  • 1 Weapon Handle
  • 17 Eldarium

2 Shortsword of the Gray Ones

  • Damage:78
  • Armor Penetration:18%

The Shortsword of the Grey Ones is more valuable and more powerful than the normal Sword of the Grey Ones. It has double the amount of that sword's armor penetration at 18 percent, making it more ideal for heavily shielded or armored enemies.

That makes it the sharpest weapon in this game as the one with the highest penetration. Moreover, the impairment is insane at 78, making it preferable to the regular sword version. The range might be a trouble though as it'south shorter.

Crafted with:

  • thirty Composite Obsidian
  • 1 Weapon Handle
  • 5 Alchemical Base
  • one Blackened Heart

ane The Predatory Blade

sword vs spear in conan exiles
  • Harm:97
  • Armor Penetration:ix%

If players want the foam-of-the-ingather, and then that would be the Predatory Blade. Out of all the swords in the game, it offers the highest damage available at three points shy of a hundred.

The armor penetration leaves much to exist desired compared to shortswords but adding more to that kind of damage would exist overkill at that point. Obtaining this blade is a tall club, still, as it'southward guarded past a big reddish dragon boss monster.
