Swordmastery Manuals
Swordmastery manuals unlock new sword techniques and abilities. You need the right manual before a Swordmastery skill can be bought, so loot soldiers, bandits and camp chests.

Good to know
- Soldiers and bandits leave them around the world.
- Some fencers sell them.
- Swordmastery teachers and armourers also sell manuals.
- Bandit camp chests are a common source, so scan camps with focus mode.
- Reading one uses it up; you still pay skill points at a shrine to learn the skill.
- Quest rewards can include them too, such as the Perfect Block Manual.
Where to find it
Kill or loot soldiers and bandits, open bandit camp chests and check sword teachers. Scouting tower chests sometimes hold manuals as well.
How to use it
Read the manual, then go to a road shrine and spend skill points. Higher ranks cost more points and sometimes time, so check before you confirm.
