Short Swords Scales: Agility Effect: Bleed DLC: Black Lotus Bazaar ID: 179
In primitive cultures, short swords are scoffed at as little more than knives. However, in the Hyborian cultures such as Aquilonia or Nemedia, where shield walls and cavalry charges have become a reality of combat, short swords are prized for their ability to thrust and stab in spaces where no longsword could ever be wielded.
About Tarnished Short Sword
Tarnished Short Sword is a Short Swords in Conan Exiles. It deals 17 light damage, 19 heavy damage, and 16.2% armor penetration. Its damage scales with Agility. It is a Tier 2 item.
Tarnished Short Sword is a craftable weapon — it is produced at a crafting station rather than dropped by enemies. It is part of the "Black Lotus Bazaar" DLC, so players without that content cannot obtain it. Tier 2 places it in the lower band of the game's weapon progression.
Its base damage of 17 ranks #46 of 54 Short Swords entries tracked here. It has 16.2% armor penetration, enough to matter against armored foes, a 6-stamina cost per basic swing, 10 poise damage that helps interrupt enemies, and 450 durability before it needs repair. At 2.89 weight it is light to carry.
Fast, low-stamina swings make it a strong choice for hit-and-run fights and for stacking bleed on a single target.
Verdict: Overall Tarnished Short Sword is a lower-damage option among Short Swords weapons in Conan Exiles, and being craftable makes it easy to replace if it breaks.
