Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• This content is transcluded from NPCs/dropnote.Since town NPCs cannot be damaged by players normally, external damage sources must be used to obtain this item. The Flymeal(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) is one of the easiest options; other effective options include traps, lava, drowning, Boulders or Rolling Cacti(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), enemies, Explosive Bunnies, Land Mines, or the Halloween-exclusive Rotten Eggs (in tandem with Frost armor).
• The Dye Trader will use this weapon when defending himself.
• Formerly stronger than the Muramasa, it still functions as a decent sword pre-Dungeon.

Trivia

• A scimitar is a curved sword of Middle Eastern origin used for fighting. It was used as early as the 9th century and has become an important symbol in many Arab cultures.
• This weapon looks very similar to the Cutlass.
• It also resembles the crossed swords icon used to enable PvP in multiplayer.
