You may also be looking for the Cobalt Ocean pirate, Rapier.

The rapier is one of the fifteen sword types in the game. It is produced at iron mongers. On subscription oceans, the rapier may be used by non-subscribers.

Since the rapier has a nearly even distribution of all four colors, some consider this to be the best sword in the game for defeating NPPs. This may or may not be true--as no player knows exactly how drop patterns work against NPPs, this is only speculation.

What is known is that anyone hoping that the rapier will instantly turn them into a super-powerful NPP slayer will be completely disappointed. No sword can increase the size of one's attacks--a player who cannot create effective chain attacks will always have problems versus NPPs, no matter which sword they use. One should also keep in mind player ships also prowl the oceans and that there are better swords to use when caught in a unprovoked PvP fight.
