Blademaster sword miscellaneous data repository

Synbios

I've been trying to collect information on blademaster sword material parts, since for the most part we know what metals and blade components are available. I'm more curious about the other parts of the sword. I'd like to see how much variety is possible on them.

For blademasters(or those who either have BM alts or own a blademaster sword from other sources, I'd appreciate it if you could provide info about your blade in the following format, with my blade as an example:

Name of blade: (optional) Unrelenting Destiny

Alloy composition: copper and nightshade

Blade Curve: slight

Groove formation: shallow

Tang: narrow

Grip material: amber cord

Grip pattern: intricate braid

Pommel shape: pyramidal

Pommel material: ruby

Sena

I did something similar a while back, here's what I found:
Metal colours: blued, crimson-tinged, darkened, flame-touched, golden, pale, rust-hued
Metals: copper, gold, iron, lead, nickel, pewter, platinum, silver
Curves: barely-perceptible, sharp, slight, soft
Grooves: channeled, deep, double, runed, shallow, triple
Tang: long, narrow, short, thick
Grip colour: black, burgundy, brown, carmine, cerulean, charcoal, chestnut, cream, crimson, emerald, green, grey, ivory, jade, orange, red, saffron, scarlet, snowy, vermilion, white, yellow
Grip material: cotton, cord, leather, silk, sharkskin, snakeskin
Grip pattern: braided, cross-hatch, double diamond, diamond, knotted, twisting
Pommel shape: pyramidal, round, square
Pommel material: amethyst, bone, diamond, emerald, gold, iron, ivory, moonstone, onyx, peridot, platinum, ruby, sapphire, silver

Synbios

@Sena: This is good info. Though in the interests of making sure, could others post their blade info?

Daslin

Name of blade: Saintly Crest

Alloy composition: crimson-tinged alloy of the finest steel and pewter,

Blade Curve: soft

Groove formation: deep

Tang: narrow

Grip material: scarlet silk

Grip pattern: intricate diamond

Pommel shape: square

Pommel material: moonstone

Synbios

@Daeir and @Daslin: I should have been more specific with the Alloy composition part. I was referring to the material that gives the colour(in both of your cases though, crimson tinge is from cinnabar anyway).

To help others out, the alloy colour/material relation is as follows:

flame-touched - orange rose

darkened - black clay

rust-hued - red clay

golden - golden clay

blued - nightshade

crimson-tinged - cinnabar

Eld

The following assume that @Synbios is correct about which colors go with which ingredients. I thought that crimson-tinged was the clay and rust-hued was the cinnabar. If I can find a log with a description of my first one later, I'll post it, too.

Crimson tinged is definitely cinnabar.

Also, "pale" is from the petrified bone.

And in case you're looking for some sort of correlation and not just a list of possibilities, here are the swords I've seen in-game. If you haven't yet, searching the old forums will give a lot more.

Oh, believe me, I've forged enough blades to tell the difference. I used to be a fan of cinnabar for its crimson tinge.

I actually whispered 'wow' under my breath.

Good work with this so far, guys.

Now that blademaster bands can be freely detachable, and once I feel like doing the quest again, I might also start populating this thread some more.

Eld

Has anyone confirmed yet that nothing screwy happens if you detach, humgii, reforge, and reattach?

Chord

Get rid of Unrelenting Destiny and I might pommel/neck you IRL.

@Eld: I've been doing it because I get really bad names (Waxing Harpies. REALLY? Because I want my enemies to shrink in fear of the mental image of bird-women taking care of their leg hair.), and it seems to be working just fine.

Until I get something more awesome than Unrelenting Destiny, kek.

Alieze

Name of blade: Silent Firefly

Blade Curve:  barely-perceptible 

Groove formation: channeled

Tang: short

Grip material: azure leather

Grip pattern: intricate braided pattern

Pommel shape: pyramidal 

Pommel material: ivory

And because I like to show it off when I can, I had this added to the sword:

Engraved on it are the words:

People live and die

Their passing but a whisper

To forests, ancient

And since you can detach bands now, you can do so to get the sword engraved and then reattach the band.
