Batter barriers is a way that warriors have of opening locked doors or boxes from the treasure system.

Battering

When battering things, the amount of damage is affected by both your training in batter and the weight of your weapon. Damage weighting will also add more damage to your successful strikes.

Some especially effective weapons are glaes clubs, or any of granite weapons in the Warrior Guild shop. The granite mattocks weigh on the order of 90 lbs, so inflict damage quite well. They cost 7500 silver.
