Dueling Sword locations

[svensson1066]

So I've always liked the 'Musashi-ish' bent of the Aldori Swordlords. It didn't work out too badly in Kingmaker, so I'm trying it here.
Does anyone know about magical dueling sword locations anywhere?
I mean, I get it... you pick an exotic weapon, you have to expect the drops to be 'exotic' too. But at this point in my build, if I give up the masterwork cold iron DS I picked up in the caves I surrender significant advantages and might as well just be a straight no-theme fighter.
My character is 4th level, has finished Market Square and is doing the surrounding missions before the big Defender's Heart fight.
All assistance gratefully accepted.

ok, i had that issue too
for the closest i know of, the quest Woljif leads you to a talking sword, that will net you a nice +1 DS with some more stuff(beside that +1 itself)

the next one after that will take a while
the next one i found was at the end of act 2, same deal only +2
later at the start of act 3 you will have like 3 different venders that sells all kinds of good DS

Yeah, Finnean is a +1 cold-iron ghost touch whatever you want it to be. And the NICE thing about it is that you can change it on the fly to some degree.

I have learned through another build that you can do Woljif's quest first, so that sets you up for a pretty great weapon right from the start of all the real work.

i realize how to use finnean only after act 1(yes, thats right)
it's a hard game, placing more restrictions on you would give an even harder time
but damn it's satisfying

Three of my characters have finnean equipped, I just equipped it mid combat because my archer needed a cold iron bow, and it stayed on the first character too. Then I did it again so 3 people use it :O

At the same time?????

Yeah if you equip finnean during combat you can duplicate it. Not sure if the recent patch changed that.

The Skeletal Merchant also has a nice Duelling Sword if you tell him to sell exotic items.

Finally found a +5 dueling sword - took me forever. It is in the "Lauging Caves" (east of Valley of Temples). In a lootable container just before the Portal.

Awesome. THANKS

Any 18-20 Crit range Duelling Swords circa: Bloodhound from Kingmaker?

[Grymm]

Finnean does scale...
Before I "Fixed him" he was +3 Brilliant Energy, Heartseeker.
After finishing his quest Fix he was +5 Brilliant Energy (same stats if you Lich him)

You'll need a feat for that, I think. Can Finn be made 'Keen'?

Master fencer sword (anarchic +4 dueling sword that adds mobility score to crits and attacks of opportunity damage). Think I got this somewhere in the abyss. Might be a merchant from the flesh market, but I can't really remember :(

Only through class abilities that add enchantments to weapons (Sacred Weapon, Spirit Weapon, Magus Arcana, Divine Weapon Bond). I don't think there's a way to make Finnean permanently 'Keen'.
