Talk:Weapons

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Very high level people wielding two warhammers at once have been spotted in the fight pit (go down twice from the volcano to get near it).

How do they manage to wield two weapons??

The double warhammer would appear to be Torag's hammers, part of a Barrows armour set - apparently, all Barrows weapons are two handed.

[edit] Weapon comparison charts

It'd be handy to have a matrix showing the various stats of different weapons side by side, or at least some discussion about how different weapons perform against different foes.

When you want to level fighting skills, you want to go for the weapon that'll give you the best hourly accumulated damage. With standard weapons, I have an idea that scimitars are good, their speed making up for the lower strength bonus... Drevicko 05:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Own pages?

Should each weapon have it's own page? For example, in Bronze weapons, there should be links to Bronze dagger, Bronze longsword, etc.? --Richard1990 21:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I talked abit to Oddlyoko about that, and he agrees with me that we should have separate pages that redirect to the main page. For example, "Bronze dagger" would redirect to "Bronze weapons#Bronze Dagger". Fetttson 21:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking like this:
Bronze weapons
link to bronze dagger
link to bronze sword
etc. Well I'm gonna go on ahead and do that. --Richard1990 00:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Is it OK if each weapon type has it's own page? Like, dagger would have it's own, sword would have it's own, etc. I think it'd be good. --Richard1990 20:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I think each type having its own page would be a good idea. Swords have more in common than bronze weapons. It would be easy to have a chart with all the stats of the different types of metal that that kind of weapon could be made of

I was thinking more like the swords page would say what advantage a sword has in combat, it's speed, etc. Also, I was thinking of maybe adding ranged weapons and magic weapons. --Richard1990 00:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ranged

Why are not ranged items included on this page? Surely bows are weapons, too? --Paania 21:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Yup. Same with staves, barrows weapons, etc. I was gonna put them in but forgot.--Richard1990 22:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Staves

This is for future reference. From Wikipedia:

A staff is a large, thick stick or stick-shaped object used to help with walking or as a status symbol or a weapon. An older plural form of staff, based on the archaic variant word stave, is staves. In American English the usual plural form has become staffs, however British and International English regard both as acceptable and "staves" as preferred.

Thus, we use Staves; British English. :) JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 19:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warhammer isn't stronger...

I compared the warhammer and battleaxe side-by-side, and although the warhammer is more accurate in the crushing style, its strength bonus is lower than the battleaxe. So why is the battleaxe listed as "weaker" than the warhammer? Would you like a pair of Chilled Socks on your Toasted Toes? 13:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't have a clue what the attack bonus actually refers to, since it's blatantly not accuracy (Maces are agonizingly inacurrate despite being average in attack bonus, or at least better than the more-accurate dagger). That's why it's listed as stronger. Change it if you like. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 17:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
