Broken Weapon

Every iron or steel melee weapon which is not enchanted will break eventually and due to the iron crisis, good quality iron and steel are scarce, weapons will break easier. The fragmented weapon can't be reforged, recycled or sold and has no value in the game at this point, expect for item collectors.

In-game description
"The iron crisis sweeping across the Sword Coast region seemingly knows no mercy. This once fine weapon now lies in a jumbled heap of metal shards before you."
