Fiery Dragon Sword

Description
The Fiery Dragon Sword (commonly abbreviated to FDS), like its cousin the Icy Dragon Sword, is a popular sword mainly prized for its style. It is quite an impressive sight with its flaming blade with only two twisted "filaments" as a solid core. Early on it can be admired in the hands of several NPCs, most notably Prince Rurik. Later, some monsters also carry it (e.g. Centaurs), and some members of the White Mantle carry them also

All Fiery Dragon Swords carry a Fiery hilt upgrade that cannot be removed by any other upgrade. It must have this upgrade, so it is not popular to strategy-minded players, who prefer other popular swords like Fellblades as targets for their weapon upgrades. This upgrade is not entirely useless however - the fact that its damage is elemental, rather than physical, makes it more effective against other Warriors as it bypasses their +20AL vs Physical armor upgrade.

Location
Fiery Dragon Swords are a random drop from enemies in all high-level areas: from the Crystal Desert onwards in Prophecies, Kaineng City onwards in Factions, Kourna onwards in Nightfall, and the Realms of the Gods. Also, rarely, they can drop from the White Mantle in an earlier area.

Dye
Applying dye to a Fiery Dragon Sword affects only the hilt and the inventory icon. Dye does not change the color of the flame. For a sword with a different color flame, consider the Icy Dragon Sword, which has a blue flame, but does cold damage.
