Weapons in DAoC come in various damage types: Slash, Crush, and Thrust, each effective against different armor types. Your class will typically be proficient in specific weapon types. Armor also comes in different categories: Cloth, Leather, Studded, Chain, and Plate, offering varying levels of protection and mobility. Each armor type has specific weaknesses to certain damage types. For example, Plate armor is strong against Slash but weak against Crush. Understanding these relationships is crucial for both equipping your character and knowing what damage types to use against enemies. Always aim for the highest quality (QL) gear you can find, as it provides better base stats.
