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:

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.
Slashing Weapons
Piercing Weapons
Bludgeoning Weapons

Armor
Metal armours receive bonuses based upon the metal used for construction. Each piece of an armour set grants a specific damage immunity: Slashing for body armor, Bludgeoning for helmets, and Piercing for shields.
