'''Grayswandir''' is one of the most coveted weapons in Nethack. It is a [[lawful]] [[silver saber]], and does an extra d5 to hit and silver damage, and it prevents [[hallucination]]. What is really valued about it, though, is that it does double damage to everybody. Aside from this, it is near totally worthless. At best, the silver damage would be worth grabbing it. Don't wish for it unless you can do well with sabers; that's an [[archaeologist]], a [[knight]], a [[rogue]], and a [[tourist]]. Otherwise, it isn't worth it.

It is widely considered one of the best weapons in the game, as the extra silver damage is very good against the many tough demons and devils encountered in [[Gehennom]] and the double damage it deals is effective against all monsters, even the endgame [[Riders]], unlike [[Fire and Frost Brand]].
