''This is an article about short swords. For long swords, see the [[Longsword]] article''<br />
<br />
'''Swords,''' sometimes called '''Shortswords,''' are fast stabbing [[weapons]] and are stronger than [[dagger]]s. While a sword is best at stabbing, players can also use it as a slashing weapon. It is generally a good weapon with all-round stats and isn't too expensive. Like most melee weapons, swords cannot be poisoned.<br />
<br />
Swords aren't often used by players, as most prefer the stronger [[scimitar]] that also attacks at the same speed, or weak but poison-able [[dagger]]s. The [[longsword]] is another option, as it has slightly higher slash and strength bonus than scimitars, and a moderate stab bonus, but is slower.<br />
<br />
While the [[Learning the Ropes]] [[quests|quest]] was available, players received a training sword (which has identical statistics to the Bronze sword), from the quest. However, with the re-introduction of the [[Tutorial Island]], [[Vannaka]] once again supplied all new players with the bronze sword, which is kept when the player uses the [[Lumbridge Home Teleport]] spell to reach [[Lumbridge]]. Then, with the [[Unstable Foundations]] [[quests|quest]], players receive and use a [[bronze platebody]], [[bronze sq shield]] and [[bronze sword]] to kill a [[Goblin (monster)|goblin]], but are unable to keep them and are required to "return" the items to [[Sir Vant]].<br />
