a veniom-hilted white ora katana with a shimmering crystal edge

Not going to comment on the pricing – the market dictates that – but there is currently no way to get +Parry% bane added to a weapon outside of some Mania/Auction win. And, considering that parry has the lowest frequency out of the three EBP procs, boosting it by 5% is a significant benefit. Your mileage may vary, of course.

It helps to offset the parry penalty that katanas have naturally. Against undead at least.

I cannot believe – well, yes I can... – that this stupid penalty hasn't been removed from katanas and katars yet. For fucks sake, you're already paying for two weapon skills to use the damn thing.
