How do you know max dmg for weapons?

Well, weapons of each type all share the maximum damage range. For example, a longsword can not have a higher max than a gladius, or a flamberge, or a fellblade, etc. because they are all "swords" of one type or another. Same goes for bows, hammers, wands, etc.

Now, for listing of what is max damage for each:

Swords: 15-22
Axes: 6-28
Hammers: 19-35
Wands/staves: 11-22
Bows: 15-28

If a weapon does not have the damage ranged listed above, it is not considered max damage. For example, a 14-27 bow would not be max damage, while a 15-28 bow would.

Hope this helps

EDIT: http://www.guildwiki.org/wiki/Category:Weapons for your future reference. Great site.

Wow thank you for the quick response it is indeed very helpful so no matter what a sword "Looks Like" it is all the same exact dmg range for it...its just the mods that are different... I understand. Also where did you find this information, I looked everywhere!


Edit: Just saw your edit! Thx again!

The hammer max damage is actually 19-35

and axes can also have a min of 7... but it's max won't be 28

bows are different from the rest... while each bow will have the same min-max dmg... each bow has a different range, refire, and flight time

And horn bows are even weirder. They have terrible ranger, rate of fire, and speed but have 10%armor penetration. mods can also change the damage type or add effects like a chance at penetration, extra adrenaline, etc.

Eek I knew that looked wrong. My bad. *edits post* working from memory here, s'not quite what it used to be

<-primary ranger. And yes, but the OP was asking about max damage, not attack speed/distance/etc ... but that is good info, also available under category: bows at GuildWiki.

i know he wasn't asking about it... but after reading...

i wanted to just make sure he knew it was different for bows
