The design of the copper sword has changed slightly over the years. In some of the early illustrations, the entire sword was colored red-pink, though it has shifted to ochre in later illustrations. The sword has an uncomplicated design, with some of the early illustrations having a small blue gem in the crossguard, and the blade and hilt are usually all the same color. The sword's blade was quite broad in earlier games, but over time became narrower.

The Copper sword is a sword in the series. It is a low-level sword for novice adventurers, usually being one of the first weapons available in the game.

Characteristics

The design of the copper sword has changed slightly over the years. In some of the early illustrations, the entire sword was coloured red-pink, though it has shifted to ochre in later illustrations. The sword has an uncomplicated design, with some of the early illustrations having a small blue gem in the crossguard, and the blade and hilt are usually all the same color. The sword's blade was quite broad in earlier games, but over time became narrower.

Due to its ease of use, this sword is usable by a variety of different characters and vocations, such as Priestss and Merchants, although Martial Artists and other barehanded brawlers can actually have their Attack decreased if they equip it. Several characters throughout the series wield one as part of their initial equipment. In many of the instruction manuals of the games, the copper sword is noted as being better suited for bludgeoning attacks than cutting due to its weight and lack of sharpness.
