I have this sword. It works very well for me. My armor is set up more for fighting then playing backup healer for my party. I don't kno how long I will use it but it is a good sword.
this weapon is the best till lvl 30, i used it for an extreem long time and even at lvl 30 its still does Ok Dmg (when used by a PAL) but all for a price, its like 60k on kujata i think
While the fire effect does not kick in all that often this sword is definatly worth it. The main reason for this is because its DPS is better than both the longsword and the longsword+1
Also as a Paladin or Red Mage especially accuracy is of a concern. Lower delay between swings will help account for those jobs that suffer from a lower accuracy. While you may question how this is true when PLD has A+ in sword, a PLD must gear himself defensivly and this comes at the expense of accuracy.
I bought mine back at lvl 18 in Bastok (Shiva) and will be keeping till lvl25 or 30! Though the extra fire damage is no big deal, the sword is fat enough and deals great damage.
I kept my flame sword for my warrior from level 18 all the way to level 30 and had no need for a new sword. It was paired with a Lantern Shield and I was set! It was a rather good investment I would say. They go for about 20k on the Bismarck server.
i have a flame sword, but i never bought it, and i notised this when i switched from iron sword to GAX, lol, stupid se... has this happend with any one else?
In fact, the fire damage DOES stack with En-spells. In the canyon coming into Qufim, I hit a worm with a flame sword while enchanted with Enthunder. It took primary damage, fire damage, and lightning damage. Nearly everyone in range stopped and /examined me trying to figure out what bizarre weapon I was using.
If you are a RM, don't bother. I got this sword, and found out that the fire damage does NOT stack with any En-spell effects. You are better off getting a longsword. Other than that, good damage sword for the money (bad procing though, rarely occurs, and never does much damage when it does).
i have the flame sword on bismarck, bought for 24k. fire dmg hits bout 1/8 - 1/10 times :( . only thing really impressive bout it is the speed, i had the fire sword before flame and flame i can just barely tell the differnce in speed. i can get in a couple more hits before my party kills the mob to work up my tp for the next 1. i dont know if i would buy it again though, just for xtra speed i can wait an xtra sec for more dmg.

Does any one have this sword and can tell us what percentage of swings actually has the extra fire damage? every swing? 1 out of 6? I bought the fire sword and have not been impressed yet.
This sword is the result of a critical success while trying to craft the Fire Sword. The higher cost seems to be driven entirely by the idea of min-maxing yourself into the best equipment for a given level, as opposed to being reasonable.
But, I guess that it's a way for people who put alot of cash into tradeskills to make something back.
the flame is just a proc and only adds about 5 damage the cost difference might be explained because it has higher damage and lower delay than the fire sword,it looks like any other sword when your wearing it.
Can anyone tell me if there are flames or anything showing on the sword when you're holding it? Or does it just look like an ordinary sword that procs a fire spell?
Ok, ive been trying to figure out what the difference is between the flame sword and fire sword other that the 1 dmg less the fire sword has. Its 30k in the auction, the fire sword goes for 5k...... What really is the big difference? Does the added effect of the flame sword hit more times??
