The perfect practice weapon for the bard that wants to work on their 1h
blunt skill is the Fool's Gold Stein (2/30 wgt 1.0 Lore) It is light and
fast(for a 1h blunt), does a little damage(no chance to KS), and most
importantly looks like a beer mug! Get yours now at the Fool's Gold Tavern
in Rivervale :)
