Speed[edit | edit source]

The speed of swinging a weapon increases the closer you are to its required full swing Strength requirement.

At full swing, the fastest weapons are Short Swords, followed by Fencing, and then every other weapon.

A weapon with the Agile attribute will have its speed increased by 1.

Merien talent will also increase your swing speed by 1.

However, the max swing speed is limited to the speed of Short Swords, and as such Agile and Merien attack speed bonuses have no effect on Short Swords at full swing.

Fencing with Agile or Merien talent
Other weapons with both Agile and Merien talent
448

Formula: 8 * (56 + (15 - speed)*11)

Short Swords[edit | edit source]

Short swords have come a long way since the addition of talents. They offer lightning fast attacks, quick refresh of critical attacks, and can be very deadly when paired with high Luck stat. Do not underestimate a Short sword user.

Long Swords[edit | edit source]

Long Swords are the preferred Warrior weapon. They offer versatility, and good balance in both PVP and PVE situations. Typically they require less strength than other Pure Warrior weapons, and can therefore leave more stat points for the warrior to put in dexterity.

Axes[edit | edit source]

Axes offer various different uses. Most axes can be used with a shield, except for the Battle axe which is a two-handed weapon. Often times you will see a tank with a War axe and a shield, or a pure warrior with a Battle axe. They offer extra crush damage and extra crush chance when paired with the axe talent.

Bows[edit | edit source]

Bows are a mandatory hunting weapon. Most if not all warriors carry a bow in their inventory. They are useful when pulling a monster, or when spell-pushing a mage. The Archery talent make the use of bows even better. It offers double hits, ricochets, and piercing attacks. Many archers line up rows of monsters and kill them with a single arrow.

Wands[edit | edit source]

Physically, wands are innocuous. That said, they offer much potential to magical spells. Most staves give Mana Saving abilites while casting spells, reducing the cost of casting a spell by a fixed amount. Furthermore they can add hit ratio for spells, magic damage bonuses and heightened spell casting chances for lesser magic users.
