A '''Flanged Mace''' is a one-handed melee [[Weapon]] for the [[Cryoknight]] faction. They have an attack speed of 1.50 seconds and deal {{plink|Tempestae|pic=Tempestae damage icon|size=18px}} damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Flanged Maces, 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 Cryoknight faction are able to receive Flanged Maces in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Hammermage]] or [[Guardian]] factions will receive Flanged Maces 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.

Flanged Maces are also able to be crafted by the [[Blacksmith]] profession, at an item level up to the Blacksmith level of the crafter. Different level ranges of Flanged Mace require different variants of the materials, but they all require 5 [[Iron Ingot]]s and 1 [[Hickory Pole]].

==Variants==
The visual appearance of a Flanged Mace is dependent only on its level. Flanged Maces crafted by the Blacksmith profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Flanged Mace.

==Combat Stats==
{{Incomplete|The exact damage ranges of weapons are still being investigated}}
All Flanged Maces attack at a speed of 1.50 seconds, and as one-handed weapons can be wielded alongside a [[Shield]]. They all deal {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage, with a chance to convert the damage to  {{plink|Tempestae|pic=Tempestae damage icon|size=18px}}. The weapon strength and elemental chance of a Flanged Mace obey formulae with slight variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15\times R + [0-6] </math>
:<math>\text{Chance} = [30-49]% </math>

Where
*<math>L</math> is the Item Level
*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

There is random variation in the stats for a Flanged Mace, determined by the terms <math>[0-6]</math> for the strength and <math>[30-49]</math> for the elemental chance. Generally, a weapon with a lower roll on the chance will have a higher roll for the strength. It is believed that rarity affects the distribution of strength rolls, as {{Common}} items almost always roll 0-2, and higher values have only rarely been recorded.

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a Flanged Mace is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Flanged Mace at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have the same minimum combat strength of '''60'''.

The strongest possible Flanged Mace is a level 500 {{Epic}} Flanged Mace with a maximum strength roll, which has the following stats:
