If you are guilded, well even if youre not, try to make your way over to Velks during prime time hours. The Sword of Pain rotts from the "dog pits" quite frequently. Communicate with a group down there and let them know your intentions, be in place and with a little luck you will be good until 60 with this sword.

I was able to snag one at lvl 30 - bring a charged WC cap, a CT pot or some other self-port item - you wont be able to run out. Any exp lost to gain this weapon is worth it.
Send me a tell if you need help with transport and I happen to be online.
