Blunt weapons are weapons designed to inflict harm on enemies by force of impact. In the game, these weapons are referred to as maces in the mouseover text, but this is a somewhat inaccurate description, as this category includes clubs, hammers, maces, and flails. So for the sake of simplicity and completeness, these weapons are always called "blunt weapons" in this wiki (even though the art for some of the maces does make them look rather pointy).
Most blunt weapons require cooperation between the blacksmith and carpenter to make, although some are made entirely out of wood and require only the carpenter. Some magical items also need the sorceress to make.
Like several other weapon types, blunt weapons are divided into two subcategories: one-handed and two-handed. This information is not displayed in the game; if you look at your recipe book in the back of your shop, you will notice that the one-handed and two-handed weapons are grouped separately, but there is no way I know to tell whether an item you don't have the recipe for is one- or two-handed, so I can't guarantee 100% accuracy on the token items below. (In most cases, though, the token items have similar graphics to a non-token item, so it seems a reasonable assumption that they would have the same handedness.)
Some classes which buy blunt weapons will only accept one-handed weapons, while some will accept either one- or two-handed weapons. The game will not prevent you from suggesting a two-handed weapon to a class which only accepts one-handed weapons; this is one of the few ways remaining in the game after the September 15th update to get a 0% change of suggestion. This can make it difficult to suggest to Healers, since there are no high-end one-handed blunt weapons available to non-token players.
The following classes will buy blunt weapons:
- One-handed only: Healer
- One- or two-handed: Barbarian, Berserker, Engineer, Guard, Knight, Paladin, Soldier
The following table shows the properties of all blunt weapons, including both one- and two-handed blunt weapons, in Swords & Potions. Token recipes are indicated by blue shading. For lists of one-handed or two-handed blunt weapons only, consult the individual category pages.
