General

The Bandit Hilt can be attached to loot generated Daggers (Dagger, Knife, Jambiya or Khanjar, see Max Stats), and light Swords (Rapier, Short Sword, Yaoji or Simi, see Max Stats).
You cannot Hilt tinkered weapons nor can you tinker weapons that have been Hilted. You can, however, remove a Hilt by attaching another Bandit Hilt to the weapon (although the hilt is destroyed in the process).

Walk Through

[OPTIONAL] Talk to MacNiall the Unruled in MacNiall's Freehold at 74.1S, 92.3E.
- There is a portal to MacNiall's Freehold in Umbral Hall (30+, south corridor). Idols in Umbral Hall also drop Idol Gems!
- Alternatively, you can take the Kryst portal from Shoushi and run to the Freehold.
Aquire an Iron Heart from an Iron Golem.
After you have attained the heart find an Idol Gem from one of the Idol creatures.
Return to MacNiall the Unruled and give him the Idol Gem.
In return he will give you Bandit Cousin's Letter which you must take to MacNiall's cousin MacDugal at the Bandit Castle.
Take Mountain Shortcut at 34.9N 56.0E in Arwic, run due east and then take the Bandit Castle Portal at 42.4N 60.5E. The castle is just north of the drop on the hill at 66.5N 50.0E.
Once you have given MacDugal the letter he will give you a Unfinished Bandit Blade Hilt.
Attach the Iron Heart to the Unfinished Bandit Blade Hilt to create a Bandit Hilt.
Attach your new hilt to the weapon of your choice (see top of page).

Notes

For double-strike, your skill needs to be 250+. For daggers, if your skill is 350+, you will have triple-strike ability. Swords cannot do triple-strike.
Some new weapons (not just swords and daggers) come with multi-strike already, so Bandit Hilts are no longer needed at higher levels.
To multi-strike with a weapon, set your power to maximum when fighting.
Bandit weapons are Attuned and Bonded once the hilt has been attached.
All Bandit Weapons do piercing damage when used with a shield. Without the shield all Bandit Weapons do slashing damage except the Rapier sword which always does piercing damage.

Lore & Dialog

MacNiall the Unruled tells you, "Arrr, and welcome to MacNiall's Freehold. Have ye seen them funny statue things the Mosswarts like to worship? I thinks their eyes is kinda pretty. Bring me one, and I'll see what I can do to reward ye."
You give MacNiall the Unruled Idol Gem.
MacNiall the Unruled tells you, "Errukh, look at the sparkle! Look, youngster. I'll give ye this note for my cousin MacDugal. I hear tell he's taken up residence with our old gang at some place called the Bandit Castle. Bring this note to him, and he'll reward ye right."
MacNiall the Unruled gives you Bandit Cousins' Letter.

MacDugal tells you, "Arrr! Don't bother me! I've got enough problems on me hands! Talk to my lieutenant, Jourgensson!"
You give MacDugal Bandit Cousins' Letter.
MacDugall tells you, "Errukh! A letter from my long-lost cousin, MacNiall! Arrr, it's good to see the old boy is doing well! I ought to reward ye for this, as he says. Here then, have one of my blade hilts. I'm workin' on a way to improve daggers and light swords."
MacDugal gives you Unfinished Bandit Blade Hilt.

MacDugal tells you, "Ye'll need to finish off that hilt with a pommel from the heart of an Iron Golem, but once it's done, ye can just affix it to a dagger, simi, shortsword, yaoji or rapier. Then yer blade'll be so well-balanced ye can do a fancy double or triple-strike when ye put enough skill and power into it!"
You attach the Iron Golem Heart to the hilt, making a Bandit hilt.
