Yellow Quartz Longsword is a Straight Sword and one of the available Weapons in Dark Souls 2. Yellow Quartz Longsword can be purchased from Chancellor Wellager for 8000 souls, located at the beginning of Drangleic Castle. While it features slightly lower attack power compared to the standard Longsword, the Yellow Quartz Longsword offers an extended attack range. It comes with lower durability but compensates with the highest counter damage among straight swords, on par with the Fume Sword.

A straight sword affixed with yellow quartz.

This longsword was found in the Iron Keep.

Breaks easily due to corrosion, but is light and still inflicts very significant damage.

In the Old Iron King's great iron keep was a vast collection of weapons,erected as a display of strength to the world.

But they were lost when the king's conceit doomed the castle to sink into a lake of fire.
