With this whole main great sword thing, I really hope they introduce some low level great swords. The ONLY lvl 1 great sword currently not related to a quest is the rusty great sword, and the level 5 is DRK specific. The don't sell on the AH much cause they are fished up of course. That being said, I am curious to see if the price of great swords change and Shell V goes way up for a bit.
They MIGHT give you a r/ex Gsword when you flag it, much like how Sam gets the Mumeito.
