			==== Addendum: Choosing a Martial Weapon ====
⚫	~~One~~ ~~important~~ ~~consideration~~ ~~for~~ a ~~[[Two-Handed~~ ~~Weapons\|two-handed]]~~ or ~~[[polearm]]~~ ~~weapon~~ ~~user is~~ the ~~weapon's~~ ~~speed.~~ ~~Heavier~~ ~~weapons~~ ~~hit~~ ~~harder~~ ~~but~~ ~~are~~ ~~slower~~ to ~~swing~~, ~~and~~ ~~the~~ ~~wielder~~ ~~must~~ have enough ~~Dexterity~~ and ~~Agility to offset the speed~~ ~~penalty~~. This works off the sum of the statistic {{mono\|(Bonus)}} values shown in {{boldmono\|[[INFO]]}}, which is equal to {{boldmono\|[(RawStat - 50) / 2]}} plus any racial modifiers.

			One important consideration for a [[Two-Handed Weapons\|two-handed]] or [[polearm]] weapon user is the weapon's speed. Heavier weapons hit harder but are slower to swing, so ideally you will want to use the hardest hitting weapon that you can still swing within the minimum melee roundtime (RT).
	The following table lists the total Dexterity plus Agility bonuses required to bring each weapon down to the minimum possible swing roundtime. If you have set your starting Dexterity/Agility fairly high as suggested, you should be able to meet at least the requirements for -2 seconds reduction. Everyone can eventually reach at least -3 seconds reduction naturally, if not right away then after some levels with statistic growth.

			The only two-handed weapon that can be swung in 3 seconds RT is the [[quarterstaff]], but it also deals much less damage than the other options.
⚫	{\| {{prettytable}}

		⚫	For all other weapons, the minimum RT is 4 seconds but the base RT is several seconds longer. To reduce the RT to the minimum, you will need to have high enough Agility and Dexterity ("AGIDEX"). This works off the sum of the statistic {{mono\|(Bonus)}} values shown in {{boldmono\|[[INFO]]}}, which is equal to {{boldmono\|[(RawStat - 50) / 2]}} plus any racial modifiers.

			Examples:
			* a Human with raw stats of 50 Agility and 50 Dexterity has exactly 0 total AGIDEX bonus. This means they will swing a weapon at exactly the base RT: attacking with a flail (with base RT 7 seconds) will take exactly 7 seconds.
			* a Human with raw stats of 80 Agility and 80 Dexterity has +15 AGI bonus and +15 DEX bonus for +30 total AGIDEX bonus, giving -2 seconds melee RT reduction. Attacking with a flail will take 5 seconds.
			* an Elf with raw stats of 80 Agility and 80 Dexterity has +30 AGI bonus and +20 DEX bonus for +50 total AGIDEX bonus, giving -3 seconds melee RT reduction. Attacking with a flail will take the minimum 4 seconds. Attacking with a claidhmore (base RT 8 seconds) will take 5 seconds.
			* an Elf with raw stats of 90 Agility and 90 Dexterity has +35 AGI bonus and +25 DEX bonus for +60 total AGIDEX bonus, giving -4 seconds melee RT reduction. Attacking with a flail or a claidhmore will both take the minimum 4 seconds.

			Some of the more popular weapons are:

			* maul (7 sec. base) - a heavy two-handed hammer that is especially effective against heavily armored foes.
			* claidhmore (8 sec. base) - a traditional heavy two-handed sword with massive critical weighting, so any successful hit will hurt a lot. A drawback is that enchanted claidhmores are quite rare and expensive and almost never available off the shelf from shops.
			* naginata (6 sec. base) - a light polearm with very high AvD values, making it easier to land hits with.
			* lance (9 sec. base) - the hardest hitting polearm. The enormous weight means you need a very high AGIDEX to offset its slow speed.

			In summary, try to pick a weapon that you can swing in 4 or 5 seconds given your stats and racial bonuses (and conversely, keep AGIDEX in mind when creating a character intended for melee combat). Stats will grow as your character gains experience, and down the road you can also compensate with [[enhancive]]s and [[ascension]] so more choices will eventually become viable.

ZHOUY1: /* Wands */ Recently added treasure wands and reserve slot functionality.

Wands: Recently added treasure wands and reserve slot functionality.

	[[Wand]]s and rods are commonly available from the treasure system, alchemy shops, and player crafting. Each wand contains a specific spell with a limited number of charges.		[[Wand]]s and rods are commonly available from the treasure system, alchemy shops, and player crafting. Each wand contains a specific spell with a limited number of charges.

	To attempt to activate a wand, hold the wand in either hand and use the command "[[WAVE]] MY {wand} AT {target}". It is usually (but not always) safe to simply "WAVE MY {wand}" as the game will try to pick a hostile target for you.		To attempt to activate a wand, hold the wand in either hand, or in the [[reserve]] slot (with "RESERVE MY WAND"), and use the command "[[WAVE]] MY {wand} AT {target}". It is usually (but not always) safe to simply "WAVE MY {wand}" as the game will try to pick a hostile target for you.

	When you wave a wand, there is a skill check to determine success. Properly using a wand requires training in [[Magic Item Use]] (MIU). The exact success formula can be found in the MIU article. Because empaths cannot learn spells from elemental spell circles, elemental bolt wands such as iron/silver wands ([[Minor Shock (901)]]), aquamarine wands ([[Minor Water (903)]]), and golden wands ([[Minor Fire (906)]]) are more difficult to activate. Generally speaking, 20 MIU ranks means you are minimally competent at wands to be able to use them while hunting, and 40 MIU ranks means you can activate almost any wand without failure.

	If you try to activate a wand but do not see any skill check roll, that likely means the wand is out of [[Charge (magic)\|charge]]s. You can either sell uncharged wands at a pawnshop or find an experienced [[wizard]] to recharge them.		If you try to activate a wand but do not see any skill check roll, that likely means the wand is out of [[Charge (magic)\|charge]]s. You can either sell uncharged wands at a pawnshop or find an experienced [[wizard]] to recharge them. Wands made of metal (such as silver, gold, copper, and bronze) tend to be non-[[crumbly]] and can go down to zero charges, while other wands will crumble and disappear when they are out of charges.

	If you want to use elemental wands early on, you should train 2x in MIU up to about 40 ranks (140 bonus), enough to offset almost all of the spell level penalties. Keep in mind that most wands contain bolt spells which are only useful if you also train 2x in Spell Aiming.

Keep in mind that most wands contain bolt spells which are only useful if you also train 2x in Spell Aiming.

			Some useful bolt wands you may come across as treasure or crafted by player alchemists include:
	[[Slender ivory wand]]s and [[faceted amethyst wand]]s contain spells from the Empath circle, and are much easier to activate, but they are only available through crafting by player alchemists. Slender ivory wands are one of the few wand types that do not require Spell Aiming since they contain Bone Shatter.

			*Empathic Assault - lapis lazuli wand / faceted amethyst wand
			*Fire Spirit - electrum wand / grooved ebony wand
			*Hurl Boulder - bronze wand
			*Major Shock - copper wand

			Hurl Boulder and Major Shock are among the most damaging bolts and hit quite a bit harder than an empath's own bolt spells, so it may be worth keeping those wands if you find them.

			Some useful non-bolt wands:
			*Bone Shatter - cracked ivory wand / slender ivory wand
			*Unbalance - wavy driftwood wand

Most physical weapons have a roundtime of 5 seconds, but heavier weapons such as most two-handed weapons and polearms can take longer to swing.

Generally for melee combatants, swinging a weapon in 5 or 6 seconds is acceptable, since that will let you stance dance effectively against most creatures.
