| Name | Type | Description | Stats | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-Handed Swords | Sword | The default all-rounder family and the one most Strength builds start with. | Requirement: Strength Speed: Medium Reach: Medium Parry: Yes Offhand: Shield or free hand | Starting gear, drops from soldiers and bandits, city smiths, crafting at a workbench |
| Daggers | Dagger | Short, fast Dexterity weapons built around backstabs and repeated light hits rather than trades. | Requirement: Dexterity Speed: Very fast Reach: Short Parry: Yes Offhand: Second dagger or free hand | Bandit and cutpurse drops, city merchants, Dexterity trainer |
| Rapiers | Rapier | The precision Dexterity weapon. Rapiers come with dodge and parry skill nodes unlocked for free, which makes them the cheapest family to bring online for a new character, and their thrusts reach further than a dagger while costing little stamina. | Requirement: Dexterity Speed: Fast Reach: Medium Parry: Yes Special: Free dodge and parry nodes | City merchants, duelist NPC drops, crafting |
| Axes | Axe | Strength weapons that trade some speed for damage and stagger. | Requirement: Strength Speed: Medium Reach: Medium Parry: Yes Special: Bonus stagger | Mine and bandit drops, smiths, crafting |
| Maces | Mace | Blunt Strength weapons built to break guards and armour. | Requirement: Strength Speed: Slow Reach: Short Parry: Yes Special: Anti-armour, high stagger | Smiths and crafting; legendary maces from late-game encounters |
| Greatswords and Two-Handed Weapons | Two-Handed | The heavy Strength line, covering greatswords, two-handed axes and polearms. | Requirement: High Strength Speed: Slow Reach: Long Parry: Yes (without shield) Offhand: None | Mercenary Hall trainer, boss drops, Legend crafting |
| Bows | Bow | The ranged Dexterity family and the only weapon that works at distance. | Requirement: Dexterity Speed: Draw-dependent Reach: Long Parry: No Ammo: Arrows, bought or crafted | Hunters' camps, city merchants, Free Hunters trainers |
| Pride of Tantares Unique | Unique Sword | A unique sword described in-game as the blade of a fallen kingdom, and one of the few legendary weapons with a fixed name and a fixed place in the world. | Requirement: High Strength Tier: Legendary Source Type: Forged | Forged at a forge after completing the associated questline and gathering its materials |
| Legend-Crafted Weapons | Crafting Tier | The Legend crafting recipe produces a custom legendary weapon rather than a fixed item: the player picks the base family and the stat package, and the result rolls bonuses to the five attributes and to stagger or unbalance chance. | Tier: Legendary Bonuses: Attribute bonuses plus stagger or unbalance chance Requirement: Legend recipe plus rare materials | Legend crafting recipe, unlocked late in the main progression |
