All you've told us is that you have a dyed weapon. What are the weight/stats? If it's store bought then yes, you can do a heck of a lot better. You'll want a weapon that is as well balanced as possible. I have a few friends who forge so I generally ask me to make me a weapon as light as possible (depending on which I want to train) and request that they grind it for balance. My favorite is a sabre that Ternith made for me, it cuts like a butter knife but gives me no issues while parrying.

You are Shrimpstar, a Prydaen Bard.
You have pointed ears and cat-slitted clear colored eyes. Your amber mane is short and thick, and is worn tousled. You have grey fur and a slender tail.
You look tired.

You are wearing nothing special.

If you're just using a parry weapon (as I hope you are) check the equipment catalog, and just find the best balance weapon in the category you want. Since you won't be attacking, no other stat matters. Balance is the only parry effecting stat. If it does -1 damage but has +infinity balance, that's what you'll want.

I'd also recommend picking up a few more than LE/ME, if you're going to bother with it, just for the heck of it. Tack on shield, multi armors, etc. to maximize TDP's.

Kynevon's web site hosts the folder, Hanryu drew it up.

Doryaa has a forged short sword from Poshly that she uses to parry- a beautifully balanced piece. If you have the plat to spare, a smith could help you there.
