Where do you get the conclusion that 1h bw has shorter reach than 1h sword?

Arg BSoD while typing up >.<

And btw, maple down?(guess that's the reason of BSoD)


Edit: Just tried out a 1h sword tube(the watermelon one), and it appears to be the "longer" one. Gonna get a 1h bw one to see if bw has the "longer" version.

Edit: Got the 1h bw tube, apparently it's the same range as a pig illustrated.

Another edit: While the 1h bw tube is short ranged, the 1h axe tube is actually long range, same as the long 1h sword tube. And tried out lv15/25/30 axes, too, they are all long ranged...Why do page/wk/pallies get the short end of the stick everytime? >.<
