Weapon

Players have a variety of weapons available to them. In all there are 13 different types of weapons: Daggers, Swords, Maces, Staves, Spellbooks, Orbs, Greatswords, Polearms, Bows, Pistols, Aethercannons, Harps and Cipher-Blades.

The limitation of what types of weapon can be used is based on the class a player has chosen. However, there are some Stigma stones that may allow one class to use weapons not normally available to them.

Weapon Enchantments[]

Each type of weapon can be enchanted. When an enchantment is applied its damage is increased. However, when enchanted, each weapon's amount of damage is increase based upon its type. Also, some weapons will receive increases to their magic boost stat as well.

White enchantment stone Dagger Sword Mace Staff Spellbook Orb Greatsword Polearm Bow
Damage Increase Per Level +2 +2 +3 +3 +3 +4 +4 +4 +4
Magic Boost Increase Per Level --- --- +10 +10 +20 +20 --- --- ---

In order to add an enchantment, an Enchantment Stone must be used on the weapon. If successful, the enchantment level will increase by 1. However, if failed, the enchantment level will drop by one.

Note: A failure on an item that has no previous enchantment level will not cause it to have a negative enchantment, or be destroyed.
