Template:Sideicon The Mythril Blade is a weapon in Final Fantasy XII. It is Basch's initial weapon. In the original version the weapon equipped to Basch is the only instance of this weapon and it cannot be obtained in any other way, while in the Zodiac versions it can also be obtained in the Cerobi Steppe and Necrohol of Nabudis, as well as the Trial Mode.
In the Zodiac versions the Mythril Blade does not require a license and therefore any character regardless of class can equip it.
This weapon shouldn't be confused with the weaker Mythril Sword initially equipped to Reks (and Vaan in the original version).
