Sacred Haven of Debauchery

It seems you haven't even played the game. Or your min-maxing mindset wouldn't allow you to even consider destroying the sword, so you didn't try throwing it away and don't know that it was buried under the ocean waves. I would prefer to break it, if possible, as it would be more reliable.
Back then, I was just a militia member, and I hadn't even gained enough experience to level up.

However, I think that nothing is an exception now, and you didn't make a mistake by misinterpreting my words. I think, on the contrary, you are on the path to enlightenment. You can already distinguish "garbage" from anything else with the naked eye; I see this as a result of my boring sermons. Perhaps soon you will decide to perform some small but necessary Buddhist ritual.
