Branding Iron in Salt and Sanctuary is a Sword type weapon.
A machete forged from scavenged materials by a blacksmith stranded on this accursed island. A branding iron of the type used to torture prisoners in the Red Hall of Cages has been hammered flat, sharpened keen and quenched in a bath of salt water and Emberskull ash to produce a blade perpetually bathed in searing flames. Improvised though it may be, this unique weapon provides warriors unskilled in the arcane arts with an invaluable tactical advantage.
Notes and Tips:
- At 50 Magic and 50 Dexterity this weapon has an Attack of 17.7/83.1 at tier VII.
- Requires Class 1 Magic
- Dexterity scaling is negligible on this weapon, giving only +3.0 physical damage at 50 Dexterity.
- Due to the weapon's low Dexterity scaling, a caster build can use this weapon proficiently without having to spend any levels on Dexterity.
Location/Where to Find
- Can be acquired by Transmuting any Sword with Whisperman's Ashes, a Diamond Cluster and 30,000 Salt.
- Sold by the Stone Blacksmith in the Keepers of Fire and Sky for 51,500 gold at 4 Devotion.

While is scales very nice with Magic and does great Fire damage there are draw backs. Firstly fire damage is a damage iver time that needs to count down, while it rarely is a huge drawback I did personally prefer Black Widow GS being just the standard "swimg, hit, damage" sorta thing. Second the game gives you the Transmute Material pretty late game unless you join the House of Splendor. Third and this sorta is irrelevant by the time you reach the weapon but Fire damage does have a few bosses that ressist it but nothing is outright immune luckily.

Can melt down bosses in NG+7 before you even realize. Must have for a mage.
This weapon has changed with the latest patch. Now it scales with S in DEX and D in magic. Not a viable option anymore for magic users.
