These are highly reccomeded by me swash friends! I have used them and they really help.

1.) Axe of the Minotaur Lords (smashy weapon):
This is good because it gives extra hits to regular spells. It has heavy damage and it is certainly the best if you seek damage. An epic assassin strike after hiding is something like this: 214,520,340,450. Yes thats right heavy damage. Beware though, in normal hits it is not as strong (it is not bad as well) compared to agility swords. Also note that this is boosted by strength (although strength boosts will give 100 damage extra, which is not much)

2.) Blades of Shade (slashy weapon):
Very epic blade. Can do 1600+ damage with assassin strike after hiding. Has high consistent damage and is reccomened for those who do not want the Axe of the M.L. However if you want highest damage possible try the Axe of the M.L.

3.) Bestiarius Set (shooty/stabby weapon):
As I know, this is the best shooty/stabby weapon. It does not give the epic amounts of damage the previous two give, however it is medium-high damage (around 1200+ at max). It also provides a swash with gun spells which can be useful at some times.

How to gain maximum damage:
This is very easy... all you have to do is follow these simple four steps:

1.)Hide Your self by using either Black Fog, Walk in Darkness/Shadows
2.)Give your swash a critical boost by applying (grand) shadow dance.
3.) If neccasry, apply agility boosts or other boosts. This is optional and gives at least 50-100 extra damage)
4.) Remeber to attack before your crit and hiding spells vanish.

P.S: Tell me if you know better weapons for the class.

Another good idea is to combine your grand shadow dance with your regular shadowdance. During this period you will get a +4 critical chance attack. This has a high chance of providing 'epic' hits. If you also have friend try and let them buff you with damage and critical boosts. I dont know how much mayhem the minotaur will experience after that, but I dont think he will plan on coming out of the hall ever again.

I didn't know those would stack... that's good advice!

Oh, I *love* my blades of shade. It took me a day and a half of farming Cadmus to get them, but they're extremely worth it. I'm not sure the Minotaur Axe would do more for me, though, as I get bonuses for stabby weapons, slashy weapons, and agility that I wouldn't usually get from the Minotaur Lords' axe. Combined with grand shadowdance and walk in shadows, the blades let me do a staggering 2112 damage! My favorite song! I'm sounding like a Blades of Shade pitchman now!

Well naturally the best weapons for a class would be of a high level. Level 13 characters should not focus on getting the 'best weapon' from level 10+ gear since this weapon wont last too much in the long run. Just continue with the storyline and the game will give you decently good weapons that will assist you for that area.

On the other hand, this page ( http://pirate101.centralforums.com/forums/showthread.php?7272-No-auction-equipment-guide-%28all-levels%29) does give a list of cool stuff for swashbucklers (in fact any class) of all levels (cant say that I found a weapon for level 10-15 though). Try looking there for interesting stuff.
