Weapons

There are 6 categories of weapons in Unwritten Legends.

Bladed

Often made for thrusting or slashing, bladed weapons are a solid choice of an offensive weapon. Most bladed weapons have average precision and damage.

Knives and Rapiers

Though most weapons in this category do less damage than other types, they are more precise. You can often aim these weapons with greater accuracy, for inflicting exact strikes on the vital areas of your target. Most of these weapons are used for thrusting.

Axes

Built for maximum slashing damage, most axes suffer in the precision category. However, they are ideal when you need to remove a limb from your opponent.

Crushing

Crushing weapons are used to break bones and cause painful bruises to your opponent. They often require less skill to be precise, but lack the high precision of smaller weapons.

Polearm

Polearms are long weapons used to outreach your opponent. They can do high amounts of damage and vary greatly in their different attacks. Though less precise than other weapons, their long reach can be a great asset in battle.

Bows & Arrows

To use a bow, you "get arrow" (to use the arrow in your quiver use "get my arrow," to get the one on the ground, just "get arrow"), "load bow with arrow," "draw bow," "fire <creature>." You can also "fire <creature>'s <body part>." Make sure you have the apostrophes after the name of the critter. Bows can be used in bow shot, stone's throw, polearm, and melee. If you fire from a distance further than melee and want to get the arrow on the ground, you will need to approach it, therefore it is best to use the arrows in your quiver until the creature is dead and you can retrieve your arrows safely. Make sure you have long arrows for your long bows, short arrows for short bows. Crossbows use bolts and quarrels.

If you decide not to shoot your bow and it is drawn, you "release bow," then "unload bow" to get your arrow from it.
