Weapons | Kingdoms of Amalur Wiki

Rarity

Any weapon or equipment in the game has a different rarity. Rarity affects an item stats so that easier to find items are weaker and grant fewer benefits to the player than the rarer ones. There are also generic weapons for each type.

• Common: These are the easiest items to find, and have the lowest stats.
• Infrequent: Higher level items than Common, but lower than Rare. Infrequent type equipment is the most used during the game.
• Rare:  Higher level items than Infrequent but lower than Unique. 
• Unique: The highest quality among all items. In Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Unique items scale its stats and requirements with the player's level, upon finding this kind of item. Regardless, the type of stat bonus granted will always be the same, only changing the numbered values.
• Set Items: These items grant bonuses to the player the more pieces of the same set are equipped at the same time.

Acquiring Weapons

In Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning there are various ways to acquire weapons:

• The common way is to purchase it from Merchants or craft them with the help of a Blacksmith.
• Additionally, you can obtain weapons as an item drop from defeated enemies, bosses, or obtained as rewards from completing quests.

Weapon Durability

Each weapon in the game works differently, but they all share a mutual aspect, which is Durability.

• The durability can be identified as the health of the weapon. As you frequently use a weapon in battle, its durability decreases and once it reaches zero, it will break. This can be avoided by repairing it before it reaches its limit.

Chaos Weapons

In Fatesworn DLC, a new type of weapons called Chaos Weapons were introduced, you need to equip them in order to defeat chaos enemies.

Longswords

The fastest of the might-based weapons, but also the weakest. Longswords have the most combat moves available as is the case with Daggers and Faeblades.

Hammers

Hammers are the slowest melee weapons in the game, but compensate this by being the most damaging melee weapon type in the game

Greatswords

Greatswords are the most balanced option in the Might Weapons category. Being stronger and faster than Longswords but weaker and faster than Hammers.

Staves

Staves are magical weapons that has a three hit combination. Even though Staves do not deal a lot of damage per hit, they can also do massive elemental damage over time.

Sceptres

Sceptres are long range weapons that can deal elemantal damage over time. They are the only weapon type that uses mana in order to attack. 

Chakrams

Chakrams are medium range weapons that can deal elemental damage. As is the case with Staves, Chakrams do not deal a lot of damage per hit, but have the potential to do so thanks to the damage over time elemental component.

Daggers

Daggers are the fastest weapon in the whole game. They have the lowest damage output per hit of all melee weapons but compensate this drawback with versatility, attack speed and a vast range of abilities available.

Faeblades

Faeblades are really fast weapons, only surpassed by daggers. Faeblades deal really low damage,only surpassing Daggers in that regard.

Longbows

Longbows are long range weapons good at deafeating enemies from a safe distance. Have a fast attack speed, however Longbows rely on the Fateless One's quiver to attack. Once the quiver is empty, it can take from 5 to 10 seconds to be able to shoot again.
