Apu's Forged Weapons
SHOP: Apu's: just ask any guard in the Crossing market plaza about Apu, and you're there. Items that I attempt to keep stocked in my shop are marked below as STOCKED, but every item below is available by either finding Apu in game, or you can IM me at Homer3142 or send an e-mail to the same username, at yahoo.com.
SPECIAL ORDERS: Custom orders are welcome! Almost every weapon can be forged with identical stats, as several different names. There is an extra fee of 3 plat per custom weapon type, or 5 plat per two. Also, if you have any particular weight in mind that isn’t listed, I can usually do custom weights as well.
BULK ORDERS: Currently, no discounts are given for bulk orders. This may or may not change in the future.
Durability: All items have a durability of "appreciably susceptible to damage (7/18)" unless otherwise noted. IMPORTANT NOTE: Since posting this list, Tempering has been nerfed and now almost everything listed is "Rather Flimsy (4/18)". I will be working now on developing some more weapon types to sell that have much better durability at the cost of a little bit of damage. These will be listed as the info comes available!
Prices: Pricing is mostly determined by the amount of time a particular item takes (honing or balancing takes extra time), and more importantly, how much volume of Platinum is required to make the item. Items with prices that seem unusually high are generally because that weight requires a lot of platinum.
Weapons
Light Edge (LE)
| WEAPON | WEIGHT | PUNCTURE | SLICE | IMPACT | BALANCE | POWER | DURABILITY | PRICE | STOCKED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

- Stilettos: 7 stones has the best balance possible of any non-rare weapon. 10 stones gives up a little bit of balance for better attack power and a tiny bit of puncture (too small to show in the appraisal). Also available as a Telek, Pugio, or Poignard for a slight fee.
- Daos: 30 stones is my baseline slicing LE. Also available as a Falcata, Koummya, Oben or Kythe for a slight fee.

| Cutlass | 44 | 3 - low | 9 - heavy | 7 - moderate | 4 - inadequately | 9 - well | 4 - rather flimsy | 30 |
- Sabres: 24 stones is the best balance you can get on a Heavy damage backstabber. 30 stones will be the best damage you can get on a backstabbing weapon. 36 stones is the best damage on a sabre, but cannot be used to backstab. Also available as a Gladius, Baselard, Nambeli or Sashqa for a slight fee.
- Scimitars: 24 stones is the lightest Heavy damage slicing weapon possible, and is great for new characters. 36 stones has the highest slicing damage for any Small Blades (LE or ME) weapon. Also available as a Hanger, Curlade, Parang or Adze for a slight fee.
- Cutlasses: These have lower slice damage than scimitars, but you gain impact damage and attack power. They are probably better options for ME users with very high strength. 42 stones is my baseline Cutlass - 44 is slightly better but costs more to make. Also available as a Shotel, Hatchet, or Hand Axe for a slight fee.
Heavy Edged (HE)
| WEAPON | WEIGHT | PUNCTURE | SLICE | IMPACT | BALANCE | POWER | DURABILITY | PRICE | STOCKED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broadsword | 25 | 2 - poor | 10 - very heavy | 4 - some. fair | 6 - decently | 6 - decently | 4 - rather flimsy | 15 | |
| Broadsword | 35 | 2 - poor | 11 - great | 5 - fair | 6 - decently | 7 - reasonably | 4 - rather flimsy | 15 | YES |
| Broadsword | 42 | 2 - poor | 11 - great | 6 - some. mod | 5 - fairly | 8 - soundly | 4 - rather flimsy | 15 | |
| Battle Axe | 54 | 1 - dismal | 10 - very heavy | 10 - very heavy | 2 - dismally | 10 - excellently | 4 - rather flimsy | 20 | |
| Battle Axe | 56 | 1 - dismal | 11 - great | 10 - very heavy | 2 - dismally | 10 - excellently | 4 - rather flimsy | 35 |
- Broadswords are the new cookie cutter HE weapon in place of bastard swords. 25 stones is perfect for new characters training HE. 35 stones is the baseline Great slice broadsword. At 42 stones you get higher impact damage and attack power. Also available as a Spatha, Arzfilt, or Kudalata for a slight fee.
- Battle axes are great for very high strength HE users. They give up almost all balance compared to a broadsword, but they gain a great deal of impact damage and attack power. This weapon is a must for HE users attempting to train against slice resistant creatures like warklins. Also available as a Falchion, Schiavona or Robe Sword for a slight fee.
Two Handed Edge (2HE)
| WEAPON | WEIGHT | PUNCTURE | SLICE | IMPACT | BALANCE | POWER | DURABILITY | PRICE | STOCKED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-Handed Sword | 40 | 2 - poor | 16 - very extreme | 5 - fair | 6 - decently | 8 - soundly | 4 - rather flimsy | 20 | |
| Two-Handed Sword | 72 | 2 - poor | 19 - bone-crushing | 5 - fair | 3 - poorly | 10 - excellently | 4 - rather flimsy | 20 | |
| Flamberge | 108 | 3 - poor | 19 - bone-crushing | 13 - severe | 2 - dismally | 12 - incredibly | 4 - rather flimsy | 25 | *unavailable* |
| Flamberge | 113 | 3 - poor | 20 - very bone-crushing | 13 - severe | 1 - terribly | 12 - incredibly | 4 - rather flimsy | 60 | *unavailable* |
- Two-Handed Swords: 40 stones is the lightest 2HE you can get, and this weapon still has very extreme slice damage. You can get up to bone-crushing slice with only 72 stones, which requires a modest 51 strength to wield with minimum RTs. Also available as a Greataxe, Warring Axe, or Marauder Blade for a slight fee.
- Flamberges: These are perfect for characters with ridiculously high strength (i.e. 70+). Unfortunately, their availability will not be consistent until I can get more skill. Also available as a Greatsword, Periperiu Sword or Double Axe (if flamberges are available at all).
Thrown Weapons (LT and HT)
| WEAPON | WEIGHT | PUNCTURE | SLICE | IMPACT | BALANCE | POWER | DURABILITY | PRICE | STOCKED |

| Spear | 60 | 12 - very great | 5 - fair | 5 - fair | 6 - decently | 7 - reasonably | 4 - rather flimsy | 20 |
- Throwing Clubs (LB/LT): 25 stones is the baseline for a non-lodging Somewhat Heavy light thrown. 30 stones is higher damage, although only seen when using the compare verb. 31 stones costs more, and is the top damage you can get from a LB/LT. Also available as a Bulhawf, Cuska or Bola for a slight fee.
- Throwing Hammer (HB/HT): 50 stones provides Very Great impact, 60 gives Severe, and 63 stones is Very Severe. Take your pick based on your strength and how much you can throw without tiring yourself out! Also available as a Hhr'ata, Hurlable War Hammer, or Throwing Mallet, for a slight fee.
- Javelin (Pike/HT): This lodging HT does a lot less damage than the throwing hammers, but it is extremely light and extremely well balanced. Doubles as a great starter weapon for backtraining Pike weapons due to its excellent balance. Unlike most pike weapons, the javelin does not require a free offhand to use. Also available as a Light Spear, Hunthsleg, or Allarh for a slight fee.
- Spear (Pike/HT): This is the heavy version of a Javelin. Does even more damage than the guildfest Tempered Pitchfork, although it is 10 stones heavier. Also available as a Military Fork or Duraka Skefne for a slight fee.
Medium Blunts

| Mace | 48 | 2 - poor | 1 - dismal | 11 - great | 5 - fairly | 7 - reasonably | 4 - rather flimsy | 18 |
- Maces seem to still be the go to weapon type for medium blunts. Also available as a War Hammer or Belaying Pin for a slight fee.
Quarter Staves
| WEAPON | WEIGHT | PUNCTURE | SLICE | IMPACT | BALANCE | POWER | DURABILITY | PRICE | STOCKED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quarter Staff | 36 | 4 - some. fair | 1 - dismal | 11 - great | 11 - superbly | 4 - inadequately | 4 - rather flimsy | 15 | YES |
| Quarter Staff | 60 | 6 - some. moderate | 1 - dismal | 13 - severe | 8 - soundly | 7 - reasonably | 4 - rather flimsy |
- Quarter Staves: These have been buffed tremendously and are a very solid weapon now. The damage is on par with Heavy Blunts, with far better balance (but less attack power). 37 stones is perfect for new characters, or for old characters who are backtraining and need extra balance. 60 stones is best for high strength characters training the skill at level. Not available as any other option.
Halberds

| Glaive | 78 | 3 - low | 16 - very extreme | 11 - great | 2 - dismally | 10 - excellently | 4 - rather flimsy | 20 |
Halberds: I don't know a whole lot about halberds, but they seem like pretty solid weapons nowadays. Scythes (also available as Guisarme, Bardiche, and Lochaber Axe) are best for new characters with low strength. Glaives (also available as Partisan, Khuj and Two-Pronged Halberd) are the best new halberds with a very strong combination of slice damage, impact damage, and attack power.

If you plan on Weaponsmithing, then you need a Hammer, Tongs, and Shovel (plus bellows, oil and wire brush from the vendor)
If you plan on Armorsmithing, then you need Pliers, and… not sure
If you plan on Smelting, then you need a Stirring Rod and Shovel (plus bellows from the vendor)
If you plan on Mining, then you need a Shovel or a Pickaxe or both.
If you plan on Stonecarving, then you need a Chisels, Rifflers, and Rasp (plus polish from the vendor)
All tools are made with maximum speed in mind at the cost of durability. However, all Orasteel tools were made with Medium C steel, since this is only a tiny bit slower than High C steel but has over double the durability. I can craft High C orasteel tools upon request, although I would highly discourage using these unless you know the techniques for making your tools immune to damage.
