Weapons are a category of equipment that are equipped to deal damage with attacks or provide various modifiers that modify a character's damage.

Weapon sets

Characters can equip two one-handed weapons (dual wielding), a one-handed weapon and an off-hand, or a two-handed weapon. Weapons can only be equipped directly into the off-hand slot while dual-wielding. Additionally, Bows can be equipped with a quiver.

Characters can equip two sets of weapons, and switch between them through a keybind for weapon swapping. Each of your skills can be assigned one or both specific weapon sets; if a skill is assigned to the opposite weapon set only, weapon set is swapped automatically when using that skill. It will be possible to lock one weapon to be used on both sets.

Additionally, shapeshift forms will also use a separate third weapon set. Generally, shapeshifting forms cannot equip items in their hands as these slots become disabled.

Martial weapons

Martial weapons are weapons that are used to attack with directly. Martial weapons have base physical damage or elemental damage, critical hit chance, and attack time. These can be directly modified with local modifiers. Additionally, each melee weapon item class has an innate weapon range, which determines the distance from which they can physically strike enemies.

Weapon range

Martial weapons have the following base ranges:

Item class Range
Dagger 1.0
Claw 1.1
Flail 1.1
One Hand Axe 1.1
One Hand Mace 1.1
One Hand Sword 1.1
Two Hand Axe 1.3
Two Hand Mace 1.3
Two Hand Sword 1.3
Quarterstaff 1.3
Spear 1.5
Bow 12.0
Crossbow 12.0

Caster weapons

Caster weapons are weapons that give bonuses to spells or minions and are not used to attack with. All caster weapons come with an inherent skill. They also have different pools of modifiers that suit their archetypes.

Wands, staves, and sceptres are caster weapons.

Traps

Traps have no base attack stats and cannot be used to attack directly. Traps are used exclusively for Trap skills and have stats that determine the trap's arming time and type of detonation (Manual or Proximity).
