[[File:Vesta longsword detail.png|left|100px|A detailed image of Vesta's longsword]]
'''Vesta's longsword''' is the second strongest longsword in the game, beaten only by the [[chaotic longsword]], yet is able to hit almost as high and frequently as the chaotic longsword obtained from [[Dungeoneering]]. Also, owing to its [[special attack]] ''Feint'', it has the highest possible hit of all one-handed swords in the game. It is obtained by killing [[Revenants]] in the [[Forinthry Dungeon]] or the [[Chaos Elemental]] in very deep [[Wilderness]] and is considered the best drop possible from said foes. This piece of weaponry was released with the release of PvP worlds on [[15 October]] [[2008]]. Vesta's longsword is considered the rarest revenant drop in RuneScape.

The [[Corrupt vesta longsword|corrupt version]] requires 20 [[Attack]] and lasts for 15 minutes equipped, while the normal version requires 78 Attack and lasts for an hour of combat. After the time is up, the longsword will vanish. '''The time restrictions are the same in Wilderness PvP and other combat situations.'''

Contrary to popular belief, this item does '''not''' degrade while using '''non-combat''' magic.

It is currently one of the best weapons available in ''[[RuneScape]]''. This is because its speed makes it a fast alternative to the [[godsword]]. However, this weapon is extremely expensive considering its short time-limit.

Vesta's longsword is a one-handed weapon, and thus a shield can be used with it. With a [[Dragon defender]], its slash accuracy leads the godsword's by 13 points, +145 to +132. The longsword's [[Strength]] bonus (with Dragon defender) trails the Godsword's by 8 points, +124 to +132.

Its [[Special attacks|special attack]], ''Feint'', inflicts 20% more damage and is harder to defend against while only draining 25% of the special bar, making it deadly as it can be used four times in a row. When activated, the player thrusts the sword out with an exaggerated motion. The power and accuracy of this attack made the Longsword the only piece of Ancient Warrior's equipment to retain a high price during the excessive supply before the Anti-76k measures were put in place, due to its fatal capabilities. Only the non-corrupted version features this attack. After the sword has been used in combat it will become untradeable.

It is often used by wealthy player killers and duellists as a ''KO'' weapon. This is because it has the potential to hit well above 700 and has a fast attack speed. In the [[Duel arena]], a player with maxed gear can easily end a duel in 2-3 special attack hits.

*As an hour contains 6000 [[tick]]s and the sword hits once per 5 ticks, you are able to hit 1200 hits with this sword before it degrades. Thus, each hit costs approximately {{formatnum: {{#expr: {{:Exchange:Vesta's longsword|View=price}}/1200 round 1}} }} coins when using this sword.

==Trivia==
*Vesta's longsword resembles the Roman longsword known as the [[wikipedia:Spatha|Spatha]].
*[[wikipedia:Vesta (mythology)|Vesta]] is the Roman goddess of the hearth, home, and family.
*Currently, when using an [[aura]], two swords are visible, the longsword itself and the glow made by the aura.
*The Vesta's longsword fell in price due to the [[Update:More Loot = More W00t!|More Loot = More W00t!]] that was part of the [[ClusterFlutterer]] celebration, and because of the double loot drop during one of the [[Mad May]] weekends.
*Thok uses the Vesta's longsword's special attack in the [[Fremennik Sagas|Fremennik Saga]], [[Thok It To 'Em]].
*The audio used for the Vesta's longsword's special attack is the same as used with the [[Dragon Longsword]]
