Weapons
The "best" weapons
the following are the best regular weapons most players buy. If possible, go for damage +10 weapons, and damage +10 speed +10 (hard to find).
these are not all the weapons in the game, but you can ignore most other regular weapons. If you want swords, stick to the three listed below - all others are far weaker. Curved knives, etc.. can also be ignored. If you have any questions, ask in-game.
This guide is for "what is the best ___?"
in terms of weapon bonuses damage > speed > accuracy > durability. All weapons below can also be enchanted up to +7, for 1WC (weapon count) per enchant.
+damage adds 1000gp per damage, to store price (broadsword of damage +10 is 10550gp)
+speed adds 20,000gp per speed
hurled, polearm, and blade weapons are not supported by a guild currently - that is, no guild gives bonuses in those weapons.
