Do not worry young one. Can I call you young one? Well, it's a little to late not to call you that. There are plenty of awesome swords in the game. You can even buy some awesome ones from Ars something or other. If you know the full name of the town im talking about. Please let me know. Things like this bother me. There is plenty of sword drops. Basically all the axes in catacombs are friggin awesome. Sad thing though is there isn't much axe/hammer drops after catacombs. In my opinion swords is the best weapon skill in the game. Bows can be good also. I wouldn't rely on getting some good one's till way later in the game though.
Don't read any further unless you want to read a SPOILER. There is a great sword you can get around level 15-20. Head to the Dark Forest. Once there start clearing the map all the way to the right. If you reach the edge of the map go down and start clearing back to the left. Once you get back to where you started. Go down some more and clear to the right again. Repeat until you find the sword in the stone. Save before you pull it out though. You may want to reload to get better stats. Also beware of the ghost that appears after you pull out the sword. He is one tough bastage. If you are level 15-20. He can tear you apart in 2-4 hits.
