Information: weapons - more power in fights Description: Weapons are your means of increasing the amount of damage you can do to an opponent in the game. Your basic weapons are your bare hands; these are not all that powerful (unless you study with the Martial Arts Guild) - it tends to be rather useful to acquire a weapon to fight with! You can generally tell how good a weapon is by its price in the shop (at least relatively). The most important thing about a weapon is this: It's only effective if you WIELD IT! Else you just carry your weapon around uselessly ;-). Type 'wield ' to wield, and 'unwield ' to lower your weapon (see 'help wield'). Only one weapon can be wielded at one time; spells can be cast additionally. Source: Based on/taken from Newcastle MUD. See also: helpdir/wield, helpdir/armours, helpdir/wear, helpdir/stats
