What Does the Dark Sword Do?

The Dark Sword is a Level 8 weapon featuring a Vampiric Enchantment, which can be swapped out at the Forge or Mini-Forge. Here are its key stats:

  • Damage: 30-45
  • Critical Strike Chance: 5%
  • Speed: -5
  • Weight: +5
  • Special Effect: 8% chance to restore health with each hit
  • Sell Price: 400g

As an early-game weapon, the Dark Sword offers strong damage and a health-restoring effect, making it valuable for new players. However, if you’re in the endgame, the Galaxy Sword is a more powerful choice.
