Trueflame

A restored fire sword from Ghosts of the Tribunal whose enchantment never runs out.

Trueflame is a fire sword with a long history – it appeared in Tribunal and The Elder Scrolls Online. In the Ghosts of the Tribunal Creation you have to restore it yourself.

How to get it

Hand Kenro Hlan gives you an Unenchanted Weapon at Fahlbtharz Forge on Solstheim. Collect the four Fahlbtharz Forge Gems and place them all in the forge to restore the blade as Trueflame (quest: Trueflame).

Enchantment

Burns the target for 30 points of fire damage, and targets on fire take extra damage. The enchantment has no usage cost, so it never needs recharging. The downside: it does not benefit from perks that boost fire spells.

Stats and handling

16 base damage at a weight of 12, more than a Daedric Sword at the weight of a Dwarven Sword. It uses the One-handed skill.

Smithing

Improve it with a Dwarven Metal Ingot. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Dwarven Smithing doubles the improvement.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Strength: infinite fire enchantment.
  • Strength: high damage at low weight.
  • Weakness: requires a gem hunt before it is usable.

Tips

  • A great “set and forget” weapon – no soul gems needed.
  • Pair it with Hopesfire for fire in one hand and lightning in the other.
