Blackrock Sword

The Blackrock Sword, not to be confused with the Black Sword, is a weapon of truly fantastic strength in Ultima IX.

Description
Made from the substance blackrock, this one-handed sword is much stronger than its size indicates. One strike is enough to slay most lesser foes, and even stronger foes won't last long. Actually getting this weapon in the time of Ultima IX however proved to be quite difficult. The Avatar first learned about the possiblility when talking with the trainer in Castle Britannia and the blacksmith of Britain to learn of the blacksmith Rupert in Trinsic, who used unusual materials.

Then in Trinsic, the Avatar gave the blacksmith three pieces of blackrock and 7000 gold pieces. However, the blacksmith claimed that it didn't work. Only after the shrine was cleansed he did give the Avatar the sword and 2000 gold pieces refund.

Effectiveness of the Weapon

 * The damage of this weapon is 90(min) - 110(max).

Trivia

 * While it is possible to only let Rupert create the sword after repairing the shrine, that would mean the loss of the 2000gp refund.
