Simple to wield compared to many of its peers, its strong attack unleashes a series of successive piercing thrusts.
Notes
The Short Spear weapon can be found at the following location:
Starting Equipment for the Prophet Class.
Can be purchased from Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable HoldLandmark for 600 Runes.
Drops from Godrick, Radahn, and Leyndell Foot Soldiers.
An easy way to farm them is to start from Agheel Lake NorthGrace's site of grace, follow the path that goes southeast towards the bridge next to the lake. After the bridge, turn left and continue on the path that branches north, and you'll quickly run into two Godrick Foot Soldiers with Short Spears (only the spear ones can drop it). They're slowly patrolling, so if you take very long to get there, you might not find them at their initial location, resting at a site of grace resets their location.
Has a 4.00% chance to drop from Messmer Foot Soldier
