A '''War Hammer''' is a one-handed melee [[Weapon]] for the [[Hammermage]] faction. They have an attack speed of 2.25 seconds and deal {{plink|Tempestae|pic=Tempestae damage icon|size=18px}} damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop War Hammers, 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 Hammermage faction are able to receive War Hammers in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Guardian]] or [[Cryoknight]] factions will receive War Hammers 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.

War Hammers are also able to be crafted by the [[Stonemason]] profession, at an item level up to the stonemason level of the crafter. Different level ranges of War Hammer require different variants of the materials, but they all require 3 [[Basalt (Etched)]] and 1 [[Hickory Pole]].

==Variants==
The visual appearance of a War Hammer is dependent only on its level. War Hammers crafted by the Stonemason profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the War Hammer.

==Combat Stats==
All War Hammers attack at a speed of 2.25 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 War Hammer obey formulae with slight variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15\times R + [0-2\times R] </math>
:<math>\text{Chance} = [70-89]% </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 War Hammer, determined by the terms <math>[0-2\times R]</math> for the strength and <math>[70-89]</math> for the elemental chance. Generally, a weapon with a lower roll on the chance will have a higher roll for the strength. 

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a War Hammer is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a War Hammer 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'''. However it can be seen that higher rarity weapons have a higher maximum damage value, the {{Common}} War Hammer has a maximum of 62 strength but the {{Epic}} War Hammer has a maximum strength of 68.

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