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

All items in this category can be made by Blacksmiths, with the exception of the Pitchfork (an uncraftable weapon).
