Sabres of swiftness are a rare type of one-handed melee weapons in ADOM. They belong to the Swords weapon group, and train and benefit from the corresponding weapon skill. Damage-wise they are equivalent to normal iron sabres, but they also grant a +8 bonus to speed.
Desirability[]
Somewhat useful for the speed boost, but not very good as a weapon long-term due to the low damage.
Guaranteed/Common sources[]
Sabres of swiftness can be randomly generated as all other generic loot.
