I was looking through a help file (help weapons or some such) and noticed that there were many more types other than swords and maces. The question I have is do these actually exist or is this just a leftover from Achaea?

My second query concerns the diffrent types of weapons. All I've seen anyone use in the logs and ingame, are clubs/maces/flails does this mean that swords are no good? As only me and my fellow newbies seem to have them.

The third entry on my list of things to ask is: shields, are they any good? is it worth it to use one?

And my final question, if they do exist are two handed weapons worth my while? All I've seen, as mentioned earlier, are onehanded swords and bludgons.

Thanks for reading.

They are left over from Achaea.

Shields are great for shieldstun or if you don't need both hands for fighting.

There are many blademasters as well as bonecrushers.

I don't think there are any two-handed weapons aside from lances, and those don't really do much.

Thanks ,Terenas.

And even Achaea didn't use them.

Before the recent changes, bonecrushers were better than blademasters in nearly every way, or at least, that's what people told me.

Just so. I would still rather deal with blademasters, but that's because I can deal with bleeding and clotting marginally better than I can deal with stun.

Drat, I already went blademaster.

Before the recent changes,they were better. You're fine now.

THe current list of weapons are Blades, Swords, Bludgeons, Clubs, Polearms, Axes. Polearms have the most viarety with Halberd, Lance, and something else.

for Swords you have Rapier, Broadsword, Longsword. Blades you have Shortswords

Clubs you have clubs, Bludgeons you have Morningstar, Mace, Hammer, Flail

I'm sure theres some other stuff I'm missing.

Axes are just used for chopping down trees. Lances have a skill associated with them in riding.

Dagenev forgot about one thing at least... Scimitars.

Just a style of sword with regards to Lusternia isn't it?
