General Information
Light Edged weapons include daggers, knives, katars, and anything else smaller than a standard sword with a cutting or stabbing edge. Light Edged weapons tend to have extremely high balance, making them ideal for parrying. They're also a common offhand choice, as all guilds can wield light edged, light blunt, and short staff weapons. Light edged weapons tend to come in slicing and thrusting varieties, the former more defensive, the latter ideal for backstabs and ambushes.
Particularly useful for backstabbing thieves, light edged has recently, thanks to a wider choice of weapons, become fairly popular among all guilds. Light edged training is required for Necromancers, but said requirement is comparatively low.
