How to Craft and Use Special Weapons

Weapon Types Beyond Swords

This mod expands combat with additional weapon categories: maces, spears, tridents, shields, bows, and crossbows. Each material tier includes versions of these weapons, allowing you to match your loadout to your current progression.

Crafting Special Weapons

Most special weapons are crafted using standard recipes with ingots and materials from your current tier. Check the crafting grid or use a recipe viewer to see exact ingredient combinations. Some weapons may require unique components or templates.

Using Maces and Spears

Maces and spears function as melee weapons with different attack speeds and damage profiles than swords. Experiment with each to find your preferred combat style. They can be enchanted like traditional weapons.

Bows, Crossbows, and Tridents

Ranged weapons follow similar upgrade paths. Craft them at your current material tier and upgrade them through the Smithing Table as you progress. Tridents offer unique mechanics like returning behavior, while crossbows provide rapid fire capabilities.

Shields for Defense

Craft shields from each material tier to match your armor. Equip them in your off-hand for blocking and damage reduction during combat.
