Forging: Standard Equipment

Standard Weapons

In Arelith, weapons (and armor, and some shields) are divided in two types - standard weapons, that follow a strict style, and 'special' weapons, that have unique characteristics.

All standard weapons respect these rules:

Type	Bonus	Level Requirement
Bronze		N/A
Iron	Attack Bonus + 1	Level 1
	Damage Bonus + 1
Masterly Iron	Attack Bonus + 1	Level 4
	Damage Bonus + 2
Steel	Attack Bonus + 2	Level 7
	Damage Bonus + 2
Masterly Steel	Attack Bonus + 2	Level 10
	Damage Bonus + 4
Greensteel	Attack Bonus + 3	Level 13
	Keen (green light)
Damask	Attack Bonus + 3	Level 13
	Damage Bonus + 3
Masterly Damask	Attack Bonus + 3	Level 16
	Damage Bonus + 6

Sample recipes

All standard weapons follow the nearly identical crafting recipe requirement. Quantities may change depending the specific weapon (a greataxe needs twice as many materials than a smaller weapon would), or they may have some special condition (the spear needs a blank quarterstaff).
A few samples for quick reference can be found here.

Keep in mind that due to the number of recipes, most masterly damask recipes are not updated to reflect the actual materials required for their crafting.
