Fencing

"I need some advice on my fencing."
"Oh! You’ll need about 100 feet of wood to build one around the house."
"Um, not that kind of fencing."

The art of fencing requires a dexterous hand, a quick wit, and fleet feet.

This skill also counts towards your ability to perform Special Moves.

Training

From 0 - 30 skill you should buy from the Warrior Guildmaster. After that you need to hold a fencing weapon in hand and hit opponents. For more details on training Fencing or other melee skills visit the Melee Training Guide page.

Weapons

Fencing weapons are used to stab'n'jab opponents, allowing the user to quickly attack while at the same time maintaining a defense. It is the best melee class available for use with Poisoning.

All items in this category can be made by Blacksmiths, with the exception of the Pitchfork. Pitchforks can now be crated by Tinkers. They can be found in the Tools category of the crafting menu.
