	In addition to the usual melee, weapongroup and weapontype skills, you might wish to train 'compare weapons'. While it is not very accurate, it is still the only way to compare two weapons directly, without spending a few days testing their performance.

			= Weapon materials =

			There are many materials out there from what weapons can be done. The material and the quality with the weapon type define how easy or hard the weapon is to use and what kind of damage it does when hit is scored. It is always a good idea to invest into a weapon which is made of good material and quality.

	One of the newer additions to the system is eqdamage. If you are hit hard, regardless of the source of the damage, your equipment can get damaged. Only spells and area-effects can damage non-hit-slot equipment. Marking a piece of equipment for you greatly reduces the chances of eqdamage. Naturally, the better quality and material, the less likely the equipment is to get damaged - so a set of fine steel full plate armours should last years before getting damaged so much that it is no longer usable. Also, magical glow reduces the chances of eqdamage, so magical weapons are even less likely to be damaged than conventional ones. Also, the type of the damage matters a great deal, fire burns bone and wood very nicely, but has little effect on mithril. Acid, on the other hand, damages almost everything quite easily. Check out 'help eqdamage' for further details. At the moment it is not possible to repair the damage, but that might change in the future.		One of the newer additions to the system is eqdamage.

			To use a weapon efficiently in combat, you have to have basic skills of physical combat. These include attack, maintype-skill and subtype-skill. For example, to use a shortsword efficiently you have to have all three skills: attack, piercing weapons and swords.

			Of course every weapon is wieldable and usable w/o any of those skills, but at least attack and maintype-skill are required to make some use out of it.

	It is usually a good idea to use one weapon for offense and a shield for defense, or two offensive weapons if you think you can take a few hard hits and still fight effectively - or if you happen to be a ranger.		It is usually a good idea to use one weapon for offense and a shield for defense, or two offensive weapons if you think you can take a few hard hits and still fight effectively - or if you happen to be a ranger.

			Every wieldable weapon has several properties which affects to several different things in combat. This help file covers the most common attributes of weapons.

	~~Help~~ weapon types shows you the type and size of all the weapons available for the players on Icesus. The longer the weapon is, the more damage it does, but also the slower it is.
			Weapons are divided into three main types, which are also divided into several sub types. In general, bludgeoning weapons are easy to use even by a low skilled warrior, and they deliever a nice amount of damage when hit is scored. Slashing weapons are harder to use but nothing beats them if they are wielded by a skilled warrior. Piercing weapons are somewhere between those two. All weapon types can cause bleeding wounds, but their types vary depending on the weapon type.

			Maintype also defines what kind of hit styles can be used with the weapon and the current combat style. To get more information about these see [[combat \| combat]].
