A '''Spear''' is a two-handed melee [[Weapon]] for the [[Guardian]] faction. They have an attack speed of 1.875 seconds and deal {{plink|Cryonae|pic=Cryonae damage icon|size=18px}} damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Spears, 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 Spears in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Hammermage]] or [[Cryoknight]] factions will receive Spears 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.

Spears 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 Spear require different variants of the materials, but they all require 4 [[Bone Spike (Brewed)]] and 1 [[Suave Pole]].

==Variants==

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

==Combat Stats==

{{Incomplete|The exact damage ranges of weapons are still being investigated}}

All Spears attack at a speed of 1.875 seconds. They all deal {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage, with a chance to convert the damage to {{plink|Cryonae|pic=Cryonae damage icon|size=18px}}. The weapon strength and elemental chance of a Spear obey formulae with slight variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15\times R + 3 + [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 Spear, 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 Spear is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Spear 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 Spear is a level 500 {{Epic}} Spear with a maximum strength roll, which has the following stats:
