Choice of Weapons

December 27th, 2006 by Eva

****1H Weapon vs. 2H weapons****

- 1H weapons are weak. ATT 70 1H weapon is weaker than a ATT 60 2H weapon. This
is because the damage calculation for 1H and 2H weapons are different.
- Most 1H weapons are one level of speed higher than 2H weapons.
- 1H weapons are drastically cheaper than 2H weapons. You do not feel as bad
when scrolling does not work out well with 1H weapons.
- 1H weapon scrolls are much cheaper than 2H weapons scrolls.
- 1H weapons have short attack reach, you need to be near the monster to attack
them. 2H handed weapons have long reach.
- 1H weapon use provides extra defense by the use of shields. Many shields add
STR, DEX and/or MDEF, which is a plus.
- 1H weapon users are more unique and shields are awesome looking.

****Swords vs. Blunt Weapon (BW)****

- Swords have the highest AVERAGE attack of all weapons in the game. BW has a
lower average, even though BW have higher maximum and lower minimum damage.
- Swords have longer attack reach than BW.
- Swords are extremely expensive compared to BW, you need to save up a lot to
afford L60+ swords.
- Sword scrolls are expensive, and commonly inflated, compared to BW scrolls.
- All swords up to Level 90 have been released. All BW except Level 80 and 90
2H BW have been released/found.
- Most swords are one level faster than the equivalent BW.
- BW warriors are more unique.
