The Rusty Sword (sometimes Rusty Old Sword) is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. Though not very serviceable in its current state, it can always be refurbished into something truly remarkable.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
The Rusty sword only has an Attack bonus of +63. After it is refurbished in Turnscote, it becomes the Sword of Ramias.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
The Rusty old sword only has an Attack bonus of +45. It can be restored into the Liquid metal sword via Alchemy Pot. One can be found at the Trodain castle, after getting the Ultimate Key.
- 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.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
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.

Trivia[edit]
- 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.
