help finding lost sword

[Stephen O'Malley]

I would suggest server hopping.

My personal rules are this: Get a skull every 15 minutes, hop servers if you don't get a skull every 15 minutes. Stay on a server for no more than an hour. If you get a famed or legendary weapon on one server, hop servers immediately (the odds of getting a second famed in the same server are very very low). If you're not taking down a boss, go to an area with 4+ enemies you can take down on a constant basis. (The South Grave and Treasure Room are prime examples).

If you play on busy hours and have trouble finding an area that isn't already occupied by looters, dare to loot in a more obscure place. The shipwreck area on Tormenta is an example.

Depending on who you talk to, some will say that it's good to limit yourself to 3-7 specific servers, however, I prefer to just go up or down the server list.

This can all greatly increase your chances, however, I would not get your hopes up. Null my break, I have been server hopping every other day for roughly 6 months; I have plenty of famed items, but no legendary items (except Freeze, but everyone just gets that from Foulberto nowadays). And then one of my smaller pirates got the Lost Sword within 30 minutes of training at Darkhart. It's just all about being at the right place at the right time, in my opinion anyways.

I have to disagree with this. I was looting at Southern Grave and got Bayou Dagger, Sharkfang blade, and Gorilla cutlass on the same server. Also just yesterday I got Coasairs Bayonet and Lucky Charm withing 10 minutes in the same server. Also one if not both of my Lost Swords came about 10 minutes after a famed.

And I have received over 50 famed items (add an extra 35 or so with Foulberto) via server hopping. Usually the first 3 skulls on a server will contain a famed weapon.

I'm not saying my method is fool-proof, I realize it's all luck in general.

The only thing I can say for certain is that it's about being at the right place at the right time. This was proved (at least from my view) at the rollbacks some time ago.
