The '''Rusty Sword''' (sometimes Rusty ''Old'' Sword) is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}}. Though not very serviceable in its current state, it can always be refurbished into something truly remarkable.<br />
<br />
==Appearances==<br />
==={{DQ6}}===<br />
The Rusty sword only has an {{Attack}} bonus of +63. After it is refurbished in [[Turnscote]], it becomes the {{Sword of Ramias}}.<br />
<br />
==={{DQ8}}===<br />
The Rusty old sword only has an {{Attack}} bonus of +45. It can be [[Alchemy|restored]] into the [[Liquid metal sword]] via [[Alchemy Pot]]. One can be found at the [[Trodain]] castle, after getting the [[Ultimate Key]]. They can also rarely be dropped by [[Invisible swordsman|Invisible swordsmen]].<br />
*In the {{3DS}} verison, two more Rusty old swords were added: one can be found in [[Memories Lane]] and another can be found [[Altar of Wroth]].<br />
<br />
==={{DQ9}}===<br />
The Rusty Sword is found in the [[Realm of the Mighty]]. It can be refurbished into the legendary [[Erdrick's Sword]]. While not available in shops, it was available as a [[DQVC]] item during the last part of June 2011.<br />

==={{DQSwords}}===<br />
This sword can be tempered into the [[Metal king sword]].<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The Rusty sword's initial {{Attack}} bonus of +63 is likely an homage to how the {{Zenithian sword}} only provided +65 when it was first obtained, and needed to be empowered by the [[Zenith Dragon]].<br />
