Rewards
Each sword handed in gives 1200 experience if you do it for free, should you choose to accept the money you will only get 100 xp per sword.

The first time you turn in a sword to Taarbas, he asks you if coin is required as a reward. If you ask for payment, the reward will be 30 per sword.

If you ask for no payment, Taarbas would call you Ben-Hassrath were you Qunari and you are rewarded with a class-specific weapon named Bassrath-Kata after having found all ten swords.
