Swords



Swords are your general purpose weapon. They are good against almost every mob, dealing a 15% STAB, 20% SLASH, and 15% CRUSH bonus.

A lot of players choose to use swords because they do not limit them to one attack style. Other players however, may consider this a weakness, because being spread out makes it deal less bonus damage to mobs it is super effective against.

Sword Types
Swords can be generally divided into 3 categories: Light Swords, Heavy Swords and Great Swords. Swords that don't fall under these three main categories are considered Special Swords.

Light Swords
Light Swords generally have balanced, lightweight blades that can be swung faster than other sword type. They are swung with short cuts or stabbing lunges at the enemy, and take the advantage of being able to swing again soon after the first strike.

Light Swords generally encompass high attack speed, but medium damage swords that allow the player to get more hits on the enemy because of it's light weight. Players that want to land as many hits as possible in a short timeframe will want to use Light Swords.

Heavy Swords
Heavy Swords have long and wide blades that can easily cut through armor. They are swung with powerful overhead or side swings that can slice an enemy in two - vertically or horizontally.

Heavy Swords deal more damage than a Light Sword, however are slightly slower as it is harder to recover after each swing. Players who like weapons that have a good attack-speed to damage ratio will want to use a Heavy Sword.

Great Swords
Great Swords have huge, heavy blades that are capable of slashing through most worldy materials. The powerful strikes of a Great Sword are able to one hit a good deal of mobs - although they take a long time to recover after each slash of the unwieldy weapon.

Great Swords deal the most damage of the three classes, but are limited to their weight and overall slowness. A Great sword is ideal to a player who wants to be able to onehit mobs with a single powerful swing, but are not recommended to players with low swords levels.

Special Swords
Special Swords are different from the three main types of swords. They vary widely in size, shape, speed and power. Often times, a Special Sword is a hybrid: being one of the three main types with a special characteristic of some sort.

Special Swords are seeked out for their unique passive effects and special abilities. Some may set the enemy ablaze after each strike, others may allow for a special attack to smite the enemy with lightning if the wielder is crouching. All players will eventually have to obtain a Special Sword, as they often deal as much damage with the same amount of speed rating as the normal swords - although they differenciate in their abilities.
