## Primary Weapons

### Single-handed weapons

Single handed weapons are the first weapon you receive in the game, getting a broken club as your starter weapon. These weapons require less stamina for each attack in turn for lesser damage then their double handed counterparts. While holding a single handed weapon you may carry a secondary item (lantern or shield). These weapons can be anything from clubs to axes. These weapons can be leveled up multiple times from broken to ash infused +7 Double handed weapon.

### Double-handed weapons

Double handed weapons are unlocked when you find your first one. Contrary to the single handed weapon you may not have a secondary item while holding a double handed weapon. The double handed weapons attack's require more stamina and time to use, but in turn have much higher damage caps. These Double handed weapons can also be charged to do a special attack. This special attack doesn't do any more damage the normal heavy attack but can be effected by talisman to have special effects. These weapons can be leveled up multiple times from broken to ash infused +7.

### *Improving weapons*

Every weapon in Ashen has several different states. Most weapons are found in a "Broken" state, and may be repaired and improved to improve its damage stats. After repairing/forging, such weapons may be Ash Infused up to 7 times to further boost their damage. For more information on this, see: Anvil

## Spears

Spears are found throughout the world on skeleton stashes. They can be crafted with spear heads and scoria in the town. Spears equip to their own slot and are double handed weapons (no secondary item may be used). These spears can be thrown and light attacked with. They can be crafted at the spear maker's crafts table in Vagrant's Rest for various prices and amounts of spear heads.

### Shadow-Travel

Probably the most notable feature of spears is their use in shadow travel. By being thrown into a Monk (clay statue holding a red candle) will teleport you there with an animation of your character changing into darkness and then changing back once at the statue. This feature is only unlocked after your defeat The Matriarch dungeon/boss and free Silaren.

## Shields

This is a category in the secondary item slot for the character's left hand. These shields are non-upgradable but do come in ranks (Shown by their in-game tag coloring). Bronze is broken level, Silver is forged, and Gold is Ash Infused (will also have the special background). Shields are found throughout the world pre-placed. One shield, Malik's shield, is received after completing a quest later on in the story. The main stats for these items are a low stamina block cost, and a low stamina regeneration negation percentage (you'll see).

## Lantern

This contains the lantern you find at the beginning and the two unlockable ones later. Like Talisman these are bought via worktable. The better the lantern the more light it gives off. You can put these down and pick them up for versatility.

## Armor

The armor is found throughout the world in pre-determined skeleton caches. Like shields they are non-upgradable but do come in ranks (Shown by their in-game tag coloring). Bronze is broken level, Silver is forged, and Gold is Ash Infused (will also have the special background). Armor also has stats, though a few more than shields. Look for overall defense bonus (generally higher is better, but you might want to find balance with the other stats), a low stamina regeneration negation percentage, and a low additional attack stamina cost.
