Noble's Estoc is a Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring. It can be picked up early in a run.

The Noble's Estoc is an estoc carried by wandering nobles, made to be easy to wield and daubed with gold from tip to tail so that it fetches a good price. It drops rarely from the Wandering Nobles in feathered caps and coats, with several among the troll carriage caravan west of Waypoint Ruins in Limgrave and more at the Academy of Raya Lucaria and in the Altus Plateau. It shares the Estoc's special quick-slash heavy attack while its other attacks are fast thrusts. With low requirements and even Strength and Dexterity scaling, it is easy to use from the start. It suits a quality character early on, and it sells well.

Skill

Impaling Thrust costs 9 FP. The wielder gathers power, then lunges forward into a strong piercing thrust that punches through an enemy's guard. Most of the damage gets past a raised shield, which makes it a reliable answer to turtling enemies and players. The thrust can be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill that lets piercing armaments overcome enemy shields. Build power, then lunge forward for a strong thrust that pierces an enemy's guard."

Suggested Build

Played as an easy early thrusting sword, using quick pokes and the slashing heavy attack, with Impaling Thrust to get through shields.

Stats	Strength 55 and Dexterity 55, Vigor 40, Endurance 24, Mind 10
Affinity	Quality to use its even Strength and Dexterity scaling, or Keen or Heavy to lean into one stat.
Ash of War	Impaling Thrust, its default, for a lunging thrust that overcomes enemy shields.
Talismans	Spear Talisman, Winged Sword Insignia, Millicent's Prosthesis

Notes

"Estoc carried by wandering nobles. Made to be easy to wield. Daubed with gold from tip to tail, it should fetch a good sum."
