Weapons are wieldable items that a player can use to inflict damage in combat. All players wield normal weapons in their right hand, and offhand weapons in their left hand. Two-handed weapons such as bows and 2h swords are held in both hands, preventing the use of an offhand weapon or shield. In the case of thrown weapons, which are stackable, multiples of the same thrown weapon may be equipped in the weapon slot at once. A player may also equip a pickaxe or a hatchet in the weapon slot so that they may hold more ore or logs, respectively.

Players can sheathe/unsheathe their weapons with the toggle sheathe option on the Action bar. This will place their equipped weapon and shield on the character's back or waist when not in use. Note that this only affects the character's appearance, and will have no effect if a player is in combat.

Melee WeaponsEdit

These weapons are more commonly used than the other weapons available, because they do not degrade or break. Most types of basic weapons come in eight different kinds of metal.

TypesEdit

Melee weapons fit into many general categories. No type is superior to others, they very in attack style, and speed/damage. In general, weapons of the same tier (eg steel) have the same damage per second ratio, with two handed weapons dealing approximately 50% more damage per second.

Weapon	Speed	Type	Availability	Handedness	Notes
Dagger	Fastest	Stab		Main/Off Hand	The fastest and generally the cheapest of all melee weapons. It is the first weapon that players can smith upon gaining access to a new metal.
Hatchet	Fast	Slash		Main Hand	Intended for Woodcutting. It is not recommended to use either Hatchets or Pickaxes as weapons, as their damage-per-second is halved relative to other weapons of their level.
Pickaxe	Average	Crush		Main Hand	Intended for Mining. It is not recommended to use either Hatchets or Pickaxes as weapons, as their damage-per-second is halved relative to other weapons of their level.
Sword	Fast	Stab		Main/Off Hand	Able to hit higher than a dagger, but with slightly lower speed. It is not too commonly seen as a result.
Mace	Fastest	Crush		Main/Off Hand	Equally fast as a dagger. However, maces are unique among other weapons of a given metal in that they carry a prayer bonus which makes them useful for those who make heavy use of Prayer.
Scimitar	Fastest	Slash		Main/Off Hand	A very popular weapon that can hit just as fast as a mace or dagger. Scimitars are, however, generally more expensive than the dagger and do not carry the mace's prayer bonus.
Longsword	Fast	Slash		Main/Off Hand	Slower than scimitars, maces, and daggers, but can deal the same damage per hit as a shortsword of the same metal type, except with slashing impact instead of stabbing. Although its speed is slightly slower than scimitars, its extra damage makes it as suitable as a scimitar.
Warhammer	Average	Crush		Main/Off Hand	A powerful weapon that sacrifices speed for damage per hit. It is not commonly used because of its low speed.
Battleaxe	Average	Slash		Main/Off Hand	Identical to a warhammer of the same metal type, except it causes slashing impact instead of crushing.
Two-handed sword	Average	Slash		Two-Handed	One of the most powerful basic weapons, but it sacrifices both speed and the ability to be used with the offhand slot, as its name suggests. However, it can be used with two-handed abilities, many of which can cause large amounts of damage.
Halberd	Average	Slash		Two-Handed	This two-handed members-only weapon is equally strong (and slow) as a two-handed sword. It has the unique ability to reach over small obstacles (such as tables, fences etc.)
Spear	Average	Stab		Two-Handed	This two-handed members-only weapon is the stabbing equivalent of a two-handed sword.
Hasta	Fast	Stab		Main Hand	This weapon is identical to the shortsword in every way, except that it does not have offhand equivalents.
Claws	Fastest	Slash		Main/Off Hand	A members-only slashing weapon that is similar to the scimitar, but has an added bonus to Melee Critical hit chance.
Maul	Average	Crush	(inside Deamonheim (outside Deamonheim)	Two-Handed	These powerful two-handed weapons mainly appear in Daemonheim and follow a standard scale. Outside of Daemonheim, however, they do not follow the standard metal scale (Bronze-Dragon). You usually get them either in granite or obsidian. A new type is the Chaotic Maul, a reward from Dungeoneering.
Abyssal whip	Fastest	Slash		Main Hand	The coveted abyssal whip is essentially the equivalent of a level 70 scimitar, in that it hits low for its level, but quickly to compensate for the relatively low hits.
Rapier	Fast	Stab		Main/Off Hand	Rapiers are primarily found in Daemonheim, though players can access other rapiers such as the Chaotic rapier outside of Daemonheim. They are identical to shortswords in every aspect.
