Blessed blades are powerful long blades that have been enhanced by the will of the Shining One. They are never found as random loot, but can be acquired in two ways.

The Shining One

Once you've achieved ****** piety with the Shining One, he gives you the option to have a single weapon blessed at his altar. A blessed weapon will have its existing brand (if any) replaced with a holy wrath brand, and is also affected as though you'd just read a scroll of enchant weapon III. Additionally, any demonic weapon you bless will become its holy counterpart:

Finally, if the blessed weapon is a long blade, it will have its base stats enhanced as it becomes a blessed blade. The weapon will have the "blessed" prefix attached to it, turning it into, for example, a "blessed scimitar of holy wrath."

Holy Monster Drops

You can also find blessed blades by killing certain holy monsters. Angels and daevas are the most likely sources, and they can be found as random opponents in the Abyss and Pandemonium. The unique Mennas may also carry one. If you do not intend to follow the Shining One, this is the only way to find blessed weapons.

Blessed Blade Stats

Blessed blades are generally superior to the weapons they are created from, though the loss of the original brand may be undesirable for certain situations. The stats of all possible blessed blades are shown in the table below. The final stats of the blessed blade are shown, with the blessing adjustments on the base stats shown in parentheses (if any).

Long Blade Damage Accuracy Delay Min Delay
Falchion 9 (+1) +2 120% (-10%) 60%
Long sword 11 (+1) +0 (-1) 130% (-10%) 60% (-10%)
Scimitar 13 (+1) -1 (-1) 130% (-10%) 60% (-10%)
Demon blade (Eudemon blade) 14 (+1) -2 (-1) 120% (-10%) 60%
Double sword 16 (+1) -2 (-1) 140% (-10%) 70%
Great sword 17 (+1) -4 (-1) 150% (-10%) 70%
Triple sword 20 (+1) -5 (-1) 180% (-10%) 70%

Destroying Blessed Blades

You can convert any blessed blade (or TSO-blessed demonic weapon) back into its non-blessed counterpart by having Kikubaaqudgha or Lugonu "bless" it at their altars. This is rarely, if ever, a good trade.
