Dragonwilds:Weapons

File:Weapon Rack (Weapons).png

Weapons are items that can be used to deal melee, ranged, or magical damage to enemies or to other players in a PvP-enabled server. They are classified under the three combat skills Dragonwilds:Attack, Dragonwilds:Ranged, and Dragonwilds:Magic.

Weapons are crafted at facilities such as the Dragonwilds:crafting table, Dragonwilds:blacksmith's bench, Dragonwilds:fletching bench, and Dragonwilds:mystic forge. They can be repaired at the same facility if their Dragonwilds:durability drops through usage. Various monsters and chests within the world have a chance to provide recipes for new weapons, which can be read and learned.

Foes in the world can be either weak or resistant to certain types of attacks, so a varied arsenal will make exploring Dragonwilds:Ashenfall easier. Template:Anchor

Melee weapons

Melee weapons are currently split into two categories: one-handed and two-handed weapons.

Attack combo counts shown include the bonus attacks awarded by Dragonwilds:Weapon Expertise, a perk unlocked at 16 Dragonwilds:Attack.

• 1-handed and 2-handed weapons can utilise the Dragonwilds:block mechanic without a shield.

Tools

Some Dragonwilds:tools can be used as melee weapons. Template:WeaponList

Ranged weapons

Ranged weapons are currently split into three categories: shortbows, longbows, and crossbows.

• Shortbows can be effectively used at both close and moderate ranges, but do less damage than their counterparts. Uses Dragonwilds:arrows as ammo.
• Longbows are very high-damage, long-range weapons, but difficult to use at close range. Uses Dragonwilds:arrows as ammo.
• Crossbows are one-handed and do moderate damage, but are only effective at relatively short range. They allow the use of an off-hand shield. Uses Dragonwilds:bolts as ammo.

Shortbows

Shortbows can either be drawn, or quick-fired with a reduction in range and damage. They have the lowest per-shot damage of the ranged weapons and moderate range, but the fastest fire-rate when quick-firing. They use Dragonwilds:arrows as ammo. Template:WeaponList

Longbows

Longbows must be drawn to fire, giving them the lowest fire-rate but highest range and per-shot damage of the ranged weapons. They use Dragonwilds:arrows as ammo. Template:WeaponList

Crossbows

Crossbows are the only one-handed ranged weapons, allowing the optional use of an off-hand shield. They cannot be manually drawn, instead firing instantly and reloading automatically. This reload will be delayed if the player attempts to fire the weapon during it. They have moderate per-shot damage and fire-rate, and the shortest range of all the ranged weapons. They use Dragonwilds:bolts as ammo. Template:WeaponList

Magic weapons

Magic weapons currently consist of wands and battlestaves, using Dragonwilds:runes as ammo.

Damage per second in this section assumes a full magic armour set bonus, and includes the increased magic conjuring time and magical critical hit chance perks.

Wands

Wands are one-handed magic weapons that can be cast while moving. They have lower per-cast damage than battlestaves, and also lack the ability to perform special attacks or combo finishing attacks. Template:WeaponList

Battlestaves

Battlestaves all share a special attack that unleashes a large amount of magical energy, based on the rune used. This consumes 5 runes per cast.

• • Air: Stuns and knocks back enemies. Increases damage and stun based on charge time.
  • Fire: Breathes fire in a cone in front of you. Increases duration, not damage, of the cone based on charge time at 2-5 ticks of damage.
  • Water: Conjures a bubble of magic water that damages all enemies around the player when released. It then creates a field of magic water that heals allies standing on it over time. Increases both the first damage and the duration and size of the field based on charge.

Shields

Shields are wielded like weapons, but can only be used to block or parry attacks. Unlike Dragonwilds:armour, they have not inherent defensive stats. Template:WeaponList

Trivia

• The classic Template:RSL (RS3, OSRS, and RSC) combat triangle (melee is strong against ranged, ranged is strong against magic, magic is strong against melee) is less relevant in Dragonwilds since no armour provides negative bonuses.
