My swordsmanship is 12 lets say.

I have a plain longsword damage 15-22 req 7 swordmanship

I have a plain longsword damage 15-22 req 11 swordsmanship

When I equip either sword with 12 swordmanship for my character which

sword will do more damage or will they be the same?

You need the 12 swordsmanship for the weapon to do that damage. Any less and you will be doing significantly lower damage. However, weapon attributes will effect how much more additional damage you will be doing.

Look here under attacking and damage.

As an example, if you had a normal, customized (20% more damage) 15-22 damage Dragon Sword, and a level 9 Swordsmanship attribute, each swing with the weapon would deal:

15 ?? 1.20 ?? 2(( 5 ?? 9 - 60 ) / 40) = 13.88 minimum damage
22 ?? 1.20 ?? 2(( 5 ?? 9 - 60 ) / 40) = 20.36 maximum damage

While swinging the same sword with a level 12 attribute would deal:

15 ?? 1.20 ?? 2(( 5 ?? 12 - 60 ) / 40) = 18.0 minimum damage
22 ?? 1.20 ?? 2(( 5 ?? 12 - 60 ) / 40) = 26.4 maximum damage

Ok I understand the swordmanship req with your charater.

I wanna know if you get more damage if you meet the requirements of a higher sword.

Example 12 swordsmanship for my warrior

I have a plain longsword damage 15-22 req 7 swordmanship

I have a plain longsword damage 15-22 req 11 swordsmanship

which sword does more damage with the same character swordmanship.

The simple answer, yes they are all the same.

If you ever tell someone otherwise you will be spammed into oblivion along with "LAWL U DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE GUIDE EITHER NOOB".

Ok if there all the same what is the point of higher req on sword??

I have a max damage sword which is 15-22 who cares about the requirements after ]

lets say req 8 right?

Just seems stupid I dont get any benefit from a higher req sword.

My character has a level 12 swordsmanship which gives me 100% hits

If i use a req 7 sword or a req 11 sword still same ratio just seems to be

something wrong.
