Weapon statistics

The important statistics on weapons are DR and weapon max damage. HR is not of much importance.

• For wields and weapons needing two hands (like hafted, two-handed, double and chain weapons), max is more important. A rough rule of thumb is that 1 max is equal to 2 DR.

• For offhand, since you only hit once with it, DR is more important, since the extra DR will help with the damage you do with the wield as well. Since bld can hit multiple times with offhand as well, it is good to concentrate on max for offhand as well in this case.

The above means that for wields, it might be better to farm some "worse" weapons (something which has a lower natural modifier), if you cannot afford to get the "best" weapon.

Weapon max and min

The min is a set amount less than the max, so a weapon popping with 1 more max will also have 1 more min and thus 1 more avg.

Normal one-handed, double weapons and chain weapons

Max varies from 44 -- 50.

The most common max is m47, the probability dropping off in both directions. m50 is very rare, popping about 1-2% of the time. m49 is about 5%?

Two-handed handled weapons

Max varies from 50? - 57.

Hafted weapons

Max varies from 49? - 55.

Concealable weapons

Max varies from ?? - 44 or 45.
