Fortune's Favorite
Fortune's Favorite is a longsword and one of the two weapon styles available from Gujin the Weapon Master in Two Rivers, the other being the staff, Golden Star. Compared to the staff, the longsword has shorter reach, but deals more damage and is far more effective in combat against multiple enemies. Generally, the longsword is the most balanced weapon style. While not the best in any single category, it is strong in each of them without any major drawbacks. That, however, becomes more apparent after acquiring the Dragon Sword.

In-Game Description[]
This longsword bears the mark of Shining Fortune, the blacksmith of the gods. Shining Fortune's weapons were so finely crafted that the gods forbade him from creating weapons for anyone but them. When his son was enlisted to subdue the barbarians from the west, Shining Fortune forsook his oaths and forged this marvelous longsword for his son. The gods cursed Shining Fortune for breaking his oath, and he was never again able to produce weapons of any worth. Still, the blade he made for his son never experienced defeat. It is truly Fortune's Favorite.
