This article is about objects used in combat. For other uses, please see Weapon (disambiguation).

Weapons are objects that are wielded for the specific purpose of inflicting damage on others. The importance of using weapons depends very much on an adventurer's class. Some classes rely heavily on the use of weapons, while others have little to no use for them, given their own "built-in" capabilities, such as the ability for Monks to use their hands and feet effectively as weapons instead.

There are many different types of weapons, each with varying statistics of damage, to-hit, and speed. In addition to these inherent statistics, the usefulness of any particular weapon is also affected by the adventurer's skill rank in Weaponry. Weapons can be further enhanced through use of the augmentation enchantment.

Weapons can be crafted from various commodities by those with the skill of Forging. A list of those forged weapons follows; all are cutting damage unless indicated otherwise.
