When you reach ElfLand, the Silver Sword is far and away the best Weapon available for your FIGHTER or RedMAGE. So much so, in fact, that you won't find or be able to buy anything better until you reach Crescent Lake (incidentally, the other town that sells this sword). This Weapon isn't really needed in the Marsh Cave, but it will help immensely against ASTOS (assuming the wielder survives to use it).

When you reach Elfheim, the Mythril Sword is far and away the best Weapon available for your Warrior or Red Mage. So much so, in fact, that you won't find or be able to buy anything better until you reach Crescent Lake (incidentally, the other town that sells this sword). If you want the best raw power possible, save up and buy this Weapon. However, consider just pretending it's not even sold in Elfheim. (It isn't, in future versions of the game.) There are a lot of interesting Weapons that just get tossed by the wayside if you have a Mythril Sword, and the game is a little bit more challenging if you ignore it.
Of course, once you reach Crescent Lake, it is well worth investing in this sword, even if you will find better Weapons soon enough in Mt. Gulg and the Ice Cavern.

Something about having this classic sword in hand just sets the mind at ease.

Kashuan Keep Treasure Rooms
The Mythril Sword can be found in Kashuan Keep, but if you can afford it, you may want to buy one as soon as it becomes available, since it's a fairly powerful weapon. Because the next few swords you find are low-accuracy gimmick swords, the Mythril Sword remains your trusty and dependable weapon for some time. As a result, though, you may want to train your sword-wielder in a different weapon during that period.

The MithrilBlade is a nice upgrade for Locke in South Figaro, but is an inferior option to the RegalCutlass for your other characters.
