The current weapon types in Veloren include Axes, Bows, Hammers, Sceptres, Staves and Swords. Other weapons such as: Daggers, Shields, Ice magic weapons and Spears are planned but not until all weapon's skill tree rework.
As of version 0.8, skills are tied to weapon types. There are originally three skills for each: A basic attack, a power attack, and a special attack, with the exception of the sword and axe, which use reworked skill trees. Other weapons' skill trees will also be reworked; you can follow the current progress on Gitlab.
Weapons, along with armor, have a durability rating that is lowered when a player dies, reducing its stats. But they will not break and can be repaired back to full at a Repair Bench with the required materials. Primary weapon components that have not been assembled into an equippable weapon do not have durability, as they cannot be equipped.
Crafting
Weapons are crafted via the Modular Crafting system, which is called Modular Weapon in the Crafting Bench, using a primary and secondary component:
Primary Components
Primary components are made of 5 ingots or logs and can have animal materials added for extra stats, with more animal materials needed for higher tiers. Axe, Hammer and Sword heads are made in the Anvil while Bow, Staff and Sceptre components are made in the Crafting Bench. Primary components generally have the same name as the two handed weapon they make, so an ornate hammer head will make an ornate hammer if combined with a long haft or a kilonda if combined with a short haft.

Weapon Stats
Weapons are just stat sticks. The abilities are what matters. In fact their stats are multiplied with the ability used. The final damage is tied to the ability you use, the protection of your foe and of course your skill.
Each component you used to craft your weapon have a set of predetermined stats. Their respective stats are multiplied with the other component's stats :
Power's Bronze x power's Animal material x Power's hands = Weapon's power
And if we check, the spreadsheet of the material stats manifest, we notice that only the power value is incremented by 0.25. Other stats have 1.
| Ingot or Log tier | Low | Common | Moderate | High | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power multiplier | 0.75 | 1 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 1.75 | 2 |
So, we can resume the weapon end stats with this formula :
Power multiplier (tiers) x Animal material x Hand or Core = Weapon's stats

Note
- ↑ 1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 1.06 1.07 1.08 1.09 1.10 1.11 1.12 1.13 1.14 Both you and your enemy have and are affected by poise. Different NPCs may have different starting Poise values. Humanoids have an initial poise of 100. When your character is hit, you will likely take some poise damage as well as regular health damage. If an attack brings you under a certain threshold, depending on the severity of that attack, you will suffer one of the following poise state, in order of severity: `Interrupted`, `Stunned`, `Dazzed`, and `Knocked Down`.
- ↑ 2.00 2.01 2.02 2.03 2.04 2.05 2.06 2.07 2.08 2.09 2.10 2.11 Range is a multiplier for the inherent weapon's ability stats.
- ↑ 3.00 3.01 3.02 3.03 3.04 3.05 3.06 3.07 3.08 3.09 3.10 Energy efficiency refers to the amount of energy consumed when using an ability that does so. So if an ability has more energy efficiency (a positive percentage) then it'll take up less energy upon cast and vice versa.
- ↑ 4.00 4.01 4.02 4.03 4.04 4.05 4.06 4.07 4.08 4.09 4.10 Buff strength increases bleed damage (swords, axes, bows), burn damage (fire staves) and makes the Scepter healing buff more effective. Slashing, rush, and piercing are not affected by buff strength.
