A '''Training sword''' is a beginner weapon that has been discontinued and is currently unavailable to use unless already owned. It has the same stats as a [[bronze longsword]], except the training sword has a +1 magic defence bonus and -2 strength less.

It used to be obtained free from the [[Melee Tutor]], northeast of the [[Lumbridge]] castle wall, or by [[Sir Vant]] during the tutorial. It could be replaced if lost, but only one could be obtained at any time. It was recommended for new players to get this [[sword]] right after [[Tutorial Island]]. It was then later sold by Beefy Bill.

Low-levelled magic users often use the training sword in combat as it adds a small amount of magical defence, unlike many other swords, which greatly decrease magic defence.

The [[Update:Advisors and Objectives|Advisors and Objectives update]] on [[17 September]] [[2009]] removed the [[Melee Tutor]] who originally gave out the Training swords. Jagex said in the update post that they would be available from General stores, however no store actually sold the sword, making it and all other training weapons discontinued, seemingly by mistake. On [[13 October]] [[2009]], Training swords were made available again for purchase from [[Beefy Bill]] for 35 gold. On [[11 April]] [[2012]], with a shop interface update, they were removed from his stock, making the swords once again discontinued.

==Trivia==
*There appears to be a training sword on the Grand Exchange desks.[[File:Training Sword at GE.png|thumb|What appears to be a Training sword at the Grand Exchange]]
*The training sword used to have a "Destroy" option.
*When the sword was made available again after being made temporarily discontinued, players who attempted to drop the sword found a Destroy message saying that you may claim it back from the [[Melee tutor]], even though he does not give them out any more. The [[Training bow]], [[Training arrows]] and [[Training shield]] also suffered this bug. This has been fixed and it now drops onto the floor properly.
*Some people refer to the training sword as the "[[blurite]] shortsword" and the actual [[Blurite sword]] as the "blurite longsword" as the training sword looks like a shorter version of the blurite sword.
*It looks somewhat similar to the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda series.
*By its animations, it is actually used and held like a dagger.
*All Training items were discontinued when jagex updated the shops on [[11 April]] [[2012]], making all training items very rare and valued to show off.
