Description
Hunting down the Pole (1st Form) demands a trip to Upper Skylands and a fight with the Thunder God, the only enemy who drops it. That legendary rarity alone signals this sword is not handed out freely — most players reach this area mid-game and need real perseverance to secure the drop. Once equipped, the Pole rewards swordfighters who invest in the Sword stat. Its two moves, Explosive Cloud and Lightning Rain, carry a storm theme that fits the weapon's heavenly origin perfectly. Mastery climbs the more you land hits in combat, so consistent use against tougher enemies is the fastest way to unlock both moves and see what the Pole can do. For players farming Upper Skylands or climbing toward Sea 2 content, the Thunder God fight doubles as decent EXP while you grind for the drop, making the time investment a little easier to justify.

Pole (1st Form) — In-Depth Analysis
What Is Pole (1st Form)?
Pole (1st Form) is a Legendary sword that drops from the Thunder God boss in Upper Skylands during the First Sea. Being a First Sea boss drop at Legendary rarity makes it a meaningful early trophy — most players around that content tier are still using purchased blades, so farming the Thunder God for this sword represents a genuine progression milestone.
Strengths and Limitations
The Pole's physical length is its most distinctive mechanical trait: the long model extends the effective reach of M1 attacks beyond what shorter swords can achieve, letting you tag enemies from a safer distance during farming. Low mastery requirements mean you can put it into active use quickly after obtaining it, and its moves can hit multiple targets, which aids grinding efficiency.
- Extended M1 range thanks to the pole's long model - Low mastery requirements — quick to activate its full kit - Decent AoE and stun on moves for multi-enemy scenarios - Can combo-start from safe range
The drawbacks are notable: the moves themselves have small AoE despite the visual size, slow M1 speed, and a long cast delay that experienced PvP players will punish hard. Indoor fights under low ceilings completely negate the pole's reach advantage, and the overall PvP ceiling is limited.
Tip: Farm the Thunder God repeatedly if the drop doesn't come quickly — the sword's drop is not guaranteed. Once obtained, use the long reach to hit NPCs from max range during grinding rather than getting into melee trade range.
