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.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ6}}===
The rusty sword is found in the [[Everfrost Grotto]] and only has an {{Attack}} bonus of +63.  After it is refurbished in [[Turnscote]], it becomes the {{Sword of Ramias}}.

==={{DQ8}}===
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]].
*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]].

==={{DQ9}}===
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.

This sword can be tempered into the [[metal king sword]].

==Trivia==
*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]].
