Server
A curved greatsword used in a mysterious ancient rite.
Imbued with a frightful occult energy which restores HP with each hit.
Availability
Treasure in the swamp at the bottom of Blighttown in the area with many Giant Leeches — Video Guide
General Information
Restores 7 HP each time an enemy is hit
It can sometimes restore more health (up to 44 HP) when swiped certain dying enemies just as absorbing their souls (tested with Undead Soldiers). Works with bosses and NPCs as well. Works when using to hit an enemy's shield, even if dealing no damage.
If more than one enemy is hit in the same swing, the amount of health restored does not change. Strong attacks and 2-handed attacks also do not gain more health.
Despite this item's text referencing "occult magic", upgrading it into an Occult Weapon does not increase the HP gained per hit.
This item will stack with the Ring of the Evil Eye.
Although there is no real-life weapon called the Server, it is based on a traditional Nepalese weapon called the ram-dao, used for beheading animal sacrifices during rituals.
Upon ascending the weapon along the Fire or Chaos path, its description changes to "Imbued with a frightful heretical energy, this swords restores HP with each hit"

Key
| Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types. |
| Critical: | One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes. |
| Durability: | The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
| Weight: | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. |
| Damage Reduction %: |
The Damage Reduction stat dictates the percentage of damage reduced while blocking. The Damage Reduction stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
|
| Stability: | The stability of the weapon. The higher this value, the less stamina is consumed when blocking attacks. |
| Frampt Souls: | This is the amount of souls players will receive if they feed the item to Kingseeker Frampt. |
