The Rusty Sword (sometimes Rusty Old Sword) is an infrequently occurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. Though not very serviceable in its current state, it can always be refurbished into something truly remarkable.

Trivia
- The rusty sword's initial attack bonus of +63 is likely an homage to how the zenithan sword only provided +65 when it was first obtained, and needed to be empowered by the Zenith Dragon.
