Swordz is a Vintage Story mod by Zolgrim. Swordz adds many sword, axe, knife, spear, and polearm variants with different reach, damage, durability, and crafting costs.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want a broader weapon selection and meaningful trade-offs between reach, damage, durability, and utility. It is especially useful for varied melee builds and XSkills progression.
What Swordz adds
Swordz expands melee equipment with arming swords, kilijs, khopeshes, stilettos, seaxes, and numerous polearms. Materials range from copper and bronze to iron, meteoric metal, and steel, while some weapons are disabled by default.
The weapons are deliberately specialized rather than simple upgrades. Long spears and polearms provide safer reach, axes offer different tree-cutting performance, and compact blades trade range or durability for lower costs, utility, or armor penetration.
Several additions connect with XSkills categories such as Swordsman, Spearman, Tool Mastery, and Tool Mastery (Knife). The seax can also support butchering, gathering cattail roots and grass, and related recipes, giving it uses beyond combat.
