Added by StarnarcosisRewards
When the first sword is turned in, Taarbas inquires whether payment is desired. If yes, each sword turned in will net 30 and 100 xp, but the Bassrath-Kata will not be received.
If performed for free, each sword nets 1200 xp, and after delivering all the swords, a class-specific weapon named Bassrath-Kata is rewarded:
- For a Two-Handed warrior -- Bassrath-Kata (Greatsword)
- For a Weapon and Shield warrior -- Bassrath-Kata (Longsword)
- For a Mage -- Bassrath-Kata (Staff)
- For a Dual Weapon rogue -- Bassrath-Kata (Dagger)
- For an Archery rogue -- Bassrath-Kata (Longbow)
If all 10 swords are turned in at the same time, the choice of the desired reward (whether cash or not) is not given.
Notes
- You may give the swords all on one go, or one-by-one; either way will have a net sum of 13500 XP. Each sword, if not exchanged for payment, gives 1200 XP, and the completion of the quest rewards 1500 XP.
- If you forgot to obtain the sword at the De Launcet Mansion while doing the "On the Loose" quest, you can always return back there at night. During the day, the mansion is not accessible.
- If given the weapon, Taarbas will say: "Guard it or lose all honor.". This means that getting the weapon has the same significance as the tradition of giving a weapon to a Qunari.
| Bug!   If you have a two-handed DLC weapon (such as the Barbarian's Blade) on your Warrior while starting the quest, you will receive the longsword version instead of the two-handed version.
