Fiery Dragon Sword

Description
The Fiery Dragon Sword (commonly abbreviated to FDS), like its cousin the Icy Dragon Sword, is a popular type of 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 carry it also (e.g. many Centaurs).

All Fiery Dragon Swords are blue by default and 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.

Location
Fiery Dragon Swords are a random drop. They appear in high-level areas, from the Crystal Desert onwards.

Dye
Applying dye to a Fiery Dragon Sword affects the hilt. Dye cannot change the color of the flame. The only way to get a different color flame is to get an Icy Dragon Sword, which has a blue flame.
