11Overview33Sturdy Saber is a Rare / Epic saber-class melee weapon in Windrose. A simple, sturdy saber with no frills. Its blade is scored with jagged notches from countless skirmishes. More than once it's spared its owner a mortal wound.55Sabers are one-handed Slash weapons that scale with Agility; the main-hand slot leaves the off-hand free for a Pistol, torch, or shield. See Sabers for the full class profile.77At a Glance99FieldValueWeapon ClassSabersRarityRare / EpicDamage225 SlashScalingAgility (A at Rare, S at Epic)ATK (Item Level 15)380ATK (Level 1 crafted)100Stack Size1FlavorA simple weapon for hard times.1111Effects1212Rare and Epic variants share a base effect.

Ingredients: Sturdy Saber x1, Tumbaga Ingot x7. The ascension consumes the Rare weapon. See Tumbaga Ingot for sourcing notes and Upgrade System for the full ascension mechanic.2323How to Obtain2525Dropped from pirate chests, Blackbeard crew caches, and Buccaneer fort loot.Sturdy-line weapons share loot tables with other Sturdy-prefixed gear.2727Loot Sources2929This weapon rolls from the shared Pirate Chest Loot Pool at a 20% per-chest chance across 13 chest spawns (Blackbeard Crew, Buccaneers', Decrepit, Old Skeleton, Smugglers', and Thomas Richards' chests). See that article for the full chest list and locations.3131Tactical Usage3333Stamina-efficient frontline saber. Best paired with a shield or off-hand pistol for builds that want extended combo windows.3535Keep a Pistol or torch in the off-hand to double the Agility loadout's burst options. Sabers reward quick light-attack cycling over heavy-attack spam because the shorter reach means committed heavies leave you exposed.3737Talent Synergies3939Agility-scaling weapons pull from the Fencer branch of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Slash damage, Critical Hit Chance for light attacks, Perfect Block window width, and Retaliation stack duration. Agility builds commonly pair with the Flibustier armor set (+15% one-handed damage on the 4-piece bonus) for sabers or with two-handed damage talents for greatswords.4141See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Respeccing talents costs an in-game currency, so early-game branch commitments tend to lock in weapon pairings for the rest of the playthrough.4343Comparison Within Class4545Sturdy Saber sits alongside 6 other sabers on the current live index.
