A '''Cudgel''' is a one-handed melee [[Weapon]] for the [[Guardian]] faction. They have an attack speed of 1.875 seconds and deal exclusively {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Cudgels, provided that the player has progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a [[Faction]], as before this point only non-faction equipment can be received.

Players who have chosen the Guardian faction are able to receive Cudgels in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Hammermage]] or [[Cryoknight]] factions will receive Cudgels much less frequently, and only in {{Rare}} rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the [[Infusion]] system to make {{Epic}} rarity weapons for their own faction.

Cudgels are also able to be crafted by the [[Bonewright]] profession, at an item level up to the Bonewright level of the crafter. Different level ranges of Cudgel require different variants of the materials, but they all require 3 [[Goat Horn (Brewed)]] and 1 [[Oak Pole]].

==Variants==

The visual appearance of a Cudgel is dependent only on its level. Cudgels crafted by the Bonewright profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Cudgel.

==Combat Stats==

All Cudgels attack at a speed of 1.875 seconds, and as one-handed weapons can be wielded alongside a [[Shield]]. They all deal only {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage. The weapon strength of a Cudgel obeys a rigid formula with no variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15\times R + 5 </math>

Where

*<math>L</math> is the Item Level

*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a Cudgel is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Cudgel at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have the same combat strength of '''65'''.

The strongest possible Cudgel is a level 500 {{Epic}} Cudgel, which has the following stats:
