Okay, I have not worked on my sword skill in a long time and so today I started. I spent hours in The Boyahda Tree soloing EM~T steelshells to raise my sword skill. I got it to 238 and stopped cuz I had an extra merit and threw it onto sword. Which brought it to 240.
Long story short, I went to Curilla to get Sapara of Trials and to no avail cannot get it. Now, is this because I am not technically 240 in sword? I also have A vorpal blade which I had equipped to start the quest for Death Blossom. Does this also affect me getting my Sapara of Trials? Throw in Swordbreaker as well.
I'm just wondering. I don't mind going back up and skilling up some more but this is a question more out of curiosity.
Thanks,
