The Jitte is a fairly uncommon type of sword dropped in Factions. Unlike other swords, it deals blunt damage instead of slashing damage. Like the Piercing Axe, Colossal Pick, and other weapons that deal nonstandard damage for their weapon types, the Jitte cannot be generated at the PvP creation screen and can only be acquired as a PvE drop or as reward weapon from the Hall of Heroes chest.
