Rapier (weapon type)

Rapiers are fast one-handed stabbing weapons that are very similar to Shortswords. They are an uncommon weapon type outside of Dungeoneering. Wielding them only requires a certain attack level, with the exception of Gravite and Chaotic rapiers, which also require a Dungeoneering level. Outside of Dungeoneering, most rapiers are high-level equivalents of shortswords, as their identical attack type and speed suggest.

Bonuses
There are four main-hand and two off-hand rapiers that can be used outside of Dungeoneering.

Dungeoneering Rapiers
There are eleven main-hand and off-hand rapiers that can be obtained in the Dungeoneering skill. They can be smithed on anvils in the dungeons, requiring 2 bars each for the main-hand and off-hand versions. They cannot be taken out of the dungeons.

Trivia

 * Before the release of Dungeoneering, the normal Rapier was the only rapier that players could wield.
