Opie: The Defender changes
Weapon type means combat style
There are 6 types of attack actions and every weapon has its own unique attack style. Attack types:
Light Attack
Heavy Attack
Thrust Attack
Air Attack
Special Attack
Ambush Attack
Attacking cost stamina based on type of the weapon and attack type. Weapon Tiers Using a type of weapon in battle or on training dummy rewards you experience on that weapon. When your experience bar on a weapon fills, you can upgrade your weapon to a higher tier at Engineering Table.
Tier I Weapon: Tier I Headquarter with Blacksmith, common resources to craft.
Tier II Weapon: Tier I version of that weapon type with full experience, Tier II Headquarter with Engineering Table, x2 Resources of Tier I version.
Tier III Weapon: Tier II version of that weapon type with full experience, Tier III Headquarter with Engineering Table, x2 Resources of Tier I version + special upgrading item.
Tier IV Weapon: Legendary upgrade item from bosses, Tier 3 Headquarter with Engineering Table, x2 Resources of Tier I version.
Weapon Durability If a weapon's durability is zero, that weapon will be destroyed. As you can guess repairing your equipment is important for protecting weapons that gained experience. Repairing costs resources based on current durability. There are three stages of durability:
Fine
Worn
Battered
Weapon Types and Stats We developed 16 weapon types so far. But this is not final, we will be adding weapon types and new equipments throughout Early Access. You can see weapon stats when you hover your mouse on the weapon in inventory. Only thing to explain about weapon stats is that "Attack Speed" is based on the weapon type. So when you look at Tier I Greatsword you will see 0.8 Attackspeed but Katana's attack speed is 1. That doesn't mean Katana is slower than greatsword. There are more greatsword variations other than your crafting recipies. You can find these items or recipies of them by various ways that will be discussed in a later date. Lets check those 16 types of weapons:
Melee Weapon Types:
One-handed Dagger
Dual-Daggers
One-handed Sword
Greatsword
Dual-swords
Doublesided Sword
Katana
Sabre
Spear
Polearm
Scythe
One-handed Axe
Greataxe
Maul Ranged Weapon Types:
Bow
Magical Staff
Left-Hand Equipments We will inspect these items in detail at a later date but there are some items you can use with specific weapon type as shown below:
Arrows -> Bow
Shields -> One-Handed Weapons
Grimoires -> Magical Staff and One-handed Weapons
