Forging: Standard Equipment

From Arelith Wiki

Standard Weapons

In Arelith, most weapons and armor are divided in two types - standard, that follow a strict style, and 'special', that have unique characteristics, greater power, as well as crafting requirements.

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

Rule of thumbs:

  • Most weapons share similar recipes.
  • Greensteel is divided in three size tiers; small (2 coal, 1 greensteel ingot), medium (4 coals, 2 ingots), large (6 coals, 3 ingots).
  • Very rarely, some recipe may require something more (Some spears need a quarterstaff for crafting).
  • All masterly damask recipes are identical.

A few samples for quick reference can be found here.
