Im gonna come out and say it. I disagree with CC 100%! Yes, for higher levels ( ATM ) this sword may seem rather, well, garbage. But! It serves a purpose. Given in the hint. We will use it in the future. So, I suggest not throwing it out. Also, On my smaller pirate, Doctor Emerald, I was using it for rep and it worked wonders! So, for smaller pirates its awesome! So, dont throw it out :D

While the sword itself was rather disappointing, this sword is a new model, which is strange (and cool) , as POTCO often like to use old models with a new name. It does have an interesting name, and I was hoping it was a legendary/famed sword dropped by a new boss that I was hoping they would release - blackbeard himself.

I do wonder how blackbeard ever became a notorious and powerful pirate with that sorry-looking sword :laughks2:
According to the wiki, Triton is the son of the Greek God of the sea... hmm... They should have added some sword of water attack to it:)

Aye guys, I wouldn't throw it away just yet. I was thinking that maybe they will make a new boss battle in which you have to kill things and this sword either is the only way or does tons of damage to the enemy.

lol, I can see why! Being a broadsword = hit lots of enemies, and with... relatively lower attack, it kills enemies slower and gets more rep. Man... I knew I should have created a third pirate when I had unlimitd, he would have loved this sword :laughks2:

hehe... looks kinda like garbage... I mean, I'll probably redeem it on my little pirates, but not on my two big ones. I don't think it'll be much use for them. Although I agree that this sword is garbage, it probably will lead to something. Perhaps something big. Very big would be nice.

riddle
 

i might be able to make more sense of the riddle
"This sword holds far more power than meets the eye, for when a royal bow breaks water, ye shall know her name and that of her enslaved crew."

far more power than meets the eye=something still to be added to it
royal bow =navy/king/queen annes revenge
breaks water=is released/ship launched
ye shall know her name=what it actually is/what it actually does
and that of her enslaved crew=new enemies (zombies)/something connected to the sword eg more swords or more of blackbeards weapons

i think the most likely is

this sword has stuff still to be added to it when on stranger tides is released you will see what it actually does and the zombies will be added

but thats only a guess

also posidon was greek god of the sea not triton triton is his son and messenger

wow if u look in the chat in o:32 second u may see trading!!!!!!!!

When you're a completely mastered pirate, like me, whom all they do is loot because there is nothing better to do, a sword like this is nothing but a waste of space... Why should we hold on to it for Im guessing, another couple months? Half year? Just because small clues that MAYBE are pointing to a new quest and that the sword MAYBE be involved... Seems pointless to me.

Again I say that It's not trading... The Admins use redeem codes to switch weapons so they can show them off without looting. This isn't trading...

Hopefully the zombies are actually "hard", unlike the pitiful Davy Jones' crew in tormenta :laughks2:

Yes! I used it from about sword level 25 - 28, and mastered the rest of the way with my nautilus and bloodfire broadsword :)

The sword has alot of purpose, Ill hang on to it as long as I need to learn this purpose! haha :SkullBullet1:

Hmm, I think it's weird that around 3 years ago PotCO said there would be a Kraken soon. We have already had one story quest released along with new weapons, inventory expansions, and potentially this story quest. I think that the Kraken should have been released. But, I can't complain as long as they're are making this game better.

The voice of reason has spoken.

And I don't get the big hoopla over the Kraken. A big squid is going to stop our ship, get pulverized by a few grand blunders and broadsides, then sink back down to the bottom?

CC, i don't think this is about the actual sword itself, more what this sword has to do with POTC 4.

Aww, come now, am I the only one that actually likes the little sword? :p

I don't see the sword coming in to play at any time in the future, mainly because, aside from the fact it is the "sword of Blackbeard," there is nothing that special about it. Perhaps if there was a little unusable skill on it that said "Does critical damage to zombies!," then yes, I could see it coming in to play.

But other than that, this is most likely just a promotional tool for the upcoming movie, and perhaps a little hint for updates to come. (I can see an article saying "Blackbeard has come to the Caribbean in search of the Fountain of Youth!" right on the horizon.)
