Editing Weapons

They may be obtained as a reward from [[quests]], as a drop from [[monsters]] or crafted through various [[professions]]. Much like other equipment, weapons come in four tiers of [[rarity]]: {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}} and {{Epic}}. One of each of the three types of weapons - 1h melee, 2h melee, and ranged - may be equipped by a player. One-handed weaponry can be used alongside a [[shield]], which acts as a piece of [[armor]].

All ranged weaponry require level 15 [[Guard]] to be unlocked. Players must have a conversation with [[Robyn Nockright]] once that level is reached in order to use them, awarding the player with a level 15 {{Common}} [[Guard's Bow]]. {{Rare}} and {{Epic}} ranged weaponry will have four ammunition per battle, while {{Common}} and {{Uncommon}} weapons will only have three. After firing all ammunition, the ranged weapon is automatically switched to a melee one. Ranged weapons will not run out of ammo when fighting [[Passive activities|passive]] monsters.

== Weapon strength ==

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

Weapon damage is primarily determined by the weapon's strength stat, which is determined by the formula:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15R + F + (0-V)</math>

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

*<math>F</math> is the Fixed portion of the damage, which depends on the weapon type

*<math>V</math> is the Variable portion of the damage, which depends on the weapon type

For all non-elemental weapons that only deal [[File:Impact_damage_icon.png|width=16x16]] [[Impact]] damage, F = 5 and V = 0. As such, these weapons will always have the exact same strength with no random variation. Elemental weapons typically have lower strength than non-elemental weapons, however elements allow for more damage to be done when [[Attack_Style#Attack_Styles_and_Weaknesses|weaknesses]] and/or [[Potion|potions]] are taken into account.

It is believed that rarity affects the distribution of the variable portion of weapon strength, as Common items almost always roll 0-2, and higher values have only rarely been recorded.

|+ Typical Fixed and Variable values

|-

! Weapon type !! Fixed value !! Variable value

|-

| Non-elemental weapons || 5 || 0

|-

| Elemental two handed weapons || 3 || 6

|-

| Elemental one handed weapons || 0 || 6

|-

| Elemental ranged weapons || 0 || 2

|-

| Non-elemental two handed weapons || 6 || 6

|}

As these values are still under investigation, there may be exceptions. For example, Guard's two handed weapons appear to have a Fixed value of 0 and not 3. Two-handed non-elemental weapons like the [[Longsword]] and [[Guard's Longsword]] appear to have both Fixed and Variable values of 6, making them able to roll the highest weapon strength values in the game.

== Weapon element ==

{{Incomplete|The exact elemtanl chances of weapons are still being investigated}}

Most weapon types have a chance to convert the damage dealt to an [[element]]al damage type. Like weapon strength, these fall within a range of values:

* Most elemental weapons have an elemental chance between 30% and 49%.

* [[Factions|Faction]] weapons with elements aligned to that faction, such as [[Tempestae]] weapons for the [[Hammermage]] class, have an elemental chance between 70% and 89%.

There appears to be a corrleation between the Variable strength roll for a weapon, and its elemental chance. Generally, a weapon with a lower roll on the element chance will have a higher roll for the strength.

When an elemental weapon triggers its damage conversion against a target that is vulnerable to that element, based on their specific characteristics the bonus damage appears to be +20% to +25% [more data needed].
