Epic Knights Flame-Bladed Swords and Noble Sword Guide
Flame-Bladed Swords
The flame-bladed swords in Epic Knights: Shields Armor and Weapons are unique weapons defined by their wavy, flame-like blade profile. Unlike standard straight-edged blades, these swords are created through a specific smithing process rather than being crafted directly at a crafting table.
Each flame-bladed sword requires three components: a smithing template, a matching zweihander of the same material, and a single piece of blaze powder. The blaze powder serves as the transformative agent, imbuing the blade with its distinctive fiery shape. The process is consistent across all material variants.
The available flame-bladed swords include:
Iron Flame-Bladed Sword – made from an Iron Zweihander
Steel Flame-Bladed Sword – made from a Steel Zweihander
Diamond Flame-Bladed Sword – made from a Diamond Zweihander
Bronze Flame-Bladed Sword – made from a Bronze Zweihander
Silver Flame-Bladed Sword – made from a Silver Zweihander
To perform the transformation, place the smithing template in the appropriate slot, add the correct zweihander as the base weapon, and combine it with blaze powder. The result is a flame-bladed sword of the corresponding material. Because the base weapon is a zweihander, these swords inherit the large, two-handed nature of that weapon class, making them substantial and visually striking.
The flame-bladed design is primarily ceremonial and aesthetic in inspiration, evoking historical weapons that were often carried as symbols of status or used in formal contexts. In the mod, these swords offer a distinct alternative to standard blades, giving players a way to personalize their arsenal with a more ornate and aggressive-looking profile.
Noble Sword
The
Noble Sword is a ceremonial weapon that represents the aristocratic and knightly class. It is not found in the world or crafted through a normal recipe. Instead, it is produced through a gilding transformation that upgrades an existing sword with precious metal.
The recipe requires three items: a gilding template, an Iron Bastard Sword, and one gold ingot. The gilding template dictates the transformation, the Iron Bastard Sword serves as the base weapon, and the gold ingot provides the material for the decorative overlay. When combined in the smithing interface, the result is the Noble Sword.
This weapon is defined by its gold accents, which distinguish it from standard military blades. The gold ingot is consumed in the process, meaning you must supply one each time you wish to create a Noble Sword. The Iron Bastard Sword is likewise consumed, so you cannot recover the base weapon after the transformation.
The Noble Sword is best suited for players who favor a polished, high-status appearance. It pairs naturally with ornate armor sets and fits a character theme built around knighthood, nobility, or formal ceremony. While it shares the general handling characteristics of a bastard sword, its visual identity is what sets it apart.
Practical Notes
When gathering materials for these weapons, keep the following in mind:
- Always verify that you have the correct smithing template. The template used for flame-bladed swords is distinct from the gilding template used for the Noble Sword.
- The base weapon must match the material of the flame-bladed sword you intend to create. A Steel Zweihander will not produce an Iron Flame-Bladed Sword, and vice versa.
- Blaze powder is obtained from blazes in the Nether, so plan your expeditions accordingly if you lack a supply.
- Gold ingots are required for the Noble Sword, so smelt gold ore or trade with piglins to maintain a steady source.
- Because these are smithing transformations, they cannot be undone. Choose your base weapons carefully before committing to the upgrade.
Both the flame-bladed sword series and the Noble Sword expand the visual and thematic options available in Epic Knights: Shields Armor and Weapons. They reward players who invest time in gathering templates and materials, and they provide distinctive equipment for those who want their character to stand out on the battlefield or in ceremonial settings.
