Aion features a diverse array of weapon types, each suited for specific classes and playstyles. Swords, Daggers, Maces, Greatswords, Polearms, Bows, Staves, and Orbs are the primary categories. Each weapon type has unique base stats, including Attack, Attack Speed, and Accuracy. Swords and Daggers are typically used by Assassins and Templars (with a shield). Maces are for Clerics and Chanters. Greatswords and Polearms are the domain of Gladiators. Bows are exclusive to Rangers. Staves are for Sorcerers and Chanters, while Orbs are for Sorcerers and Spiritmasters. Pay attention to the weapon's rarity (white, green, blue, yellow, orange, pink) as higher rarity generally means better base stats and more Manastone slots. Always equip the highest rarity weapon appropriate for your class and level.
