Category: Weapons

From HoAWiki

Weapons are used for ranged and melee combat. The table below lists the weapons in the game, along with their respective classes. Weapons can be enchanted up to +3 in any Wizards Guild and up to +4 in Lormidia after the completion of the Ascend the Wizard's Tower quest. Better weapons can be obtained in Blacksmiths and at the Trading Post, or by exploring certain lairs. Many of the most powerful weapons, generally class-specific, are assembled by crafting schematics, which require a variety of items from around Ardania. See also: Hero attributes for how weapon damage affects combat.

Most classes rely on weapons as their main source of damage. In addition to providing damage, many weapons also confer additional combat stats bonuses. The unique case is for Monks, who derive most of their weapon damage through the willpower stat, but may also equip weapons to enhance damage. Weapons generally do not play a large role in spellcasting, although some weapons confer spells to the user and other stats bonuses relevant to spellcasting.

Schematics Weapons

See Also: Schematics

Several schematics allow heroes to assemble power weapons. There are two sets of schematics, one found in the Abandoned Library in the Dark Forest, and the other: those purchased from Valmorgen's Library (which includes class-specific weapons that are not schematics). Valmorgen Schematic items can be upgraded at the Imp's Workshop on the Desolate Wastelands. Weapons of such origins are generally the most powerful.

To ensure success in using schematics: (Craftmanship) + (Modified Int) / 2 is greater than or equal to (Schematic Difficulty) x 5 + 20
