Muramasa

The Muramasa is a glowing blue sword that is only found in treasure chests hidden in the Dungeon. Unlike all other swords, you can hold down the left mouse button and it will keep swinging indefinitely (the starfury does the same thing, but drains mana very quickly, and cannot be swung without mana). It may not be the most powerful of weapons, but it can be extremely effective for killing monsters whilst running into them.

The Muramasa has a slightly longer reach than the Phaseblade, and deals 18 damage with a fast attack speed. When used, it will create a small amount of light, useful for unlit caverns or dungeons.

A good tactic is to use the weapon in conjunction with a full set of Shadow Armor and 2 Feral Claws (thereby hitting the speed bonus cap) to give it an incredibly fast swipe speed, allowing you to cut through virtually any enemy with ease. Also, in order to maximise damage one can equip the Molten Armor set along with four Feral Claws for +15% melee damage and 0.7x attack duration.
