Swashbuckling combines fast movement with a quick wit, witty repartee, and a flashing rapier. Prove that elegance and subtlety of approach will always dominate over brute force. Swashbuckling combines a rapier and a keen mind to produce a truly effective fighting machine. The skill includes methods to deal death from above or parry multiple places at once, your blade moving with breathtaking speed. Moving between various specialised stances and dance about with acrobatic ease. Swashbuckling can only be truly effective when undertaken with a song-blessed rapier, as everyone knows. To gain the blessing, simply take a rapier to the Grotto of Song, which is off the beach in Tasur'ke.

Moving between various specialised stances and dance about with acrobatic ease, swashbuckling could only be truly effective when undertaken with a song-blessed rapier, as everyone knew.

The '''Swashbuckling''' skill is available to members of the [[Bard]] [[class]], along with [[Voicecraft]] and [[Harmonics]].
The skill of '''Swashbuckling''' was available to members of the [[Bard]] [[class]], along with [[Voicecraft]] and [[Harmonics]] until 949 AF, when they were replaced by a more refined skillset. Incorporating similar feats of agility, it might be said that the power of the [[Bladedance]] is a natural elevation and from the roguish adventuring of the swashbuckler.
