Velka's Rapier
A symbolic, powerful thrusting sword used by the Pardoner serving Velka,

Quite effective for killing Giant Mosquitoes because of the vertical slash motion of its one-handed strong attack.
The "V"-shaped strong attack could stand for the initial letter in "Velka."

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. |
Footnotes
- When two-handing this weapon, only 6 Strength is required.
