TL;DR: The Tallum Blade is an A-grade one-handed sword built for tanks โ€” paired with a shield, it's the standard weapon for Paladin, Dark Avenger and the Knight classes. Take SA Focus for crit damage or SA Health for raid survivability.

Overview

The Tallum Blade is an A-grade one-handed sword for tanks, used together with a shield. It's popular with the Paladin, Dark Avenger (DA) and Temple Knight (TK). The Focus Special Ability (SA) raises your critical-hit chance, while Health trades that for extra HP.

How to Get It

You craft the Tallum Blade through a Warsmith from a Tallum Blade Edge plus Crystal (A-grade). The parts drop from monsters level 65+ in the Wall of Argos and the Forge of the Gods. The recipe is bought from the Trader of Mammon for Ancient Adena.
