The Avenger is by and far the best sharp weapon in the realms. What other item stays with you through death(other than the clap)? Let's go over how this thing works and how you can get it to rock.

 

-Upon Joining the Guild-

Go to the Sword Room of whichever guildhall you're at and 'pray'. You'll then be granted a Holy Avenger, but incredibly weak. Don't even equip it it's so horrible at this point.

Now that you do have your sword, go and gain a good amount of xp and return to a Sword Room. You're now going to 'powerup' your sword. The sword has a total of 3 attacks and can powerup each of those attacks to a maximum of 8. You want to do this before you start xping for anything beyond fighting.combat.melee.sharp.

As you're gaining experience to advance your Avenger, don't worry about going over your maximum xp. You can use it all and won't be penalized if you use it for your sword. Whatever you do, DO NOT advance a skill a bit then powerup. That's wasted XP.

If you don't have a Rod of Chaos while xping for your avenger and are using a sharp weapon, go ahead and drop some experience into your sharp skill so you can get kills a bit faster.

 

-Now That Your Avenger is 8/8/8-

Once you taste the power of your Avenger being 8/8/8, you now need to learn the dual handed technique. This is quite easy, but sometimes can be a pain.

Get about 1 million xp and go to the Serrllach guild hall. You'll need to find Eliana in the advancing room of the Castle and type 'learn holding option' Once you finish that, go to the room to the west. This is where you can enchant your sword. Type 'enchant' to do so. You'll only be able to enchant your weapon only so many times at a certain level, so don't overmax to much. Your sword is now ready to kick some evil-ass.

 

-Avenger Commands-

setname: This command will name your sword. Doesn't really do anything, just adds to your characters style.

 

avenger_status: This command will tell you your current status of your sword. The first three digits tell you you're attack ratings, and the bottom one tells you your enchant level. Here are the levels of enchantment: In order of most poweful to weakest:

• Rainbow
• Golden
• Silver
• Azure
• Emerald
• Crimson
• Yellow
• Aquamarine
• Octraine
• White

limbs <1 or 2>: This command sets your Avenger as one-handed or two-handed. You must first learn this option from Eliana first, as mentioned earlier. I haven't really seen any use of having the Avenger one handed. When dual handed you do more damage and get a bonus to charge. It's your decision though :P.
