The Steel broadsword is a recurring sword in the Dragon Quest series. It is often the first mid-level sword the player can obtain.

CharacteristicsEdit

The steel broadsword is a standard sword with a long blade forged from steel and a yellow hilt and crossguard. It often marks the turning point from early game weapons to mid-level weapons, being an effective weapon in terms of attack power and gold cost. This sword has appeared in every main entry in the series and even multiple spinoffs, as well.
