Weapons

**Weapons** are essential items used for combat against enemies, bosses, and even other players during PvP games. Most weapons are crafted at any crafting Station, while others can only be found in Chests, as enemy/boss drops, or purchased from NPCs. MythMod adds a large number of new and unique weapons for players to use. Many are upgrades to existing weapons and others are unique.

## Melee weapons

### Swords

Swords are melee weapons which can be divided into 2 basic categories: Shortswords, and Broadswords. Shortswords have a very limited range and attack with a horizontal stabbing motion instead of an arc. Broadswords are swung overhead, which makes it easier to defeat flying and jumping enemies than shortswords.

	{{#fornumargs:\_|v|{{#var:itemlist:start\_tag}}{{#var:v}}}}{{#var:close}}

### Spears

Spears are melee weapons that have decent range (somewhat better than swords), but attack using a stabbing motion (like a shortsword, except that spears can be aimed). Spears also have a good chance of hitting targets more than once, especially large enemies.

### Flails

Flails are melee weapons that consist of an object linked to the player by a chain, which can either be thrown or fired. Thrown flails can be suspended around the player indefinitely, whereas launched flails immediately return to the player.

### Yoyos

Yoyos are melee weapons that are flail-like, and when thrown, seek after the player's cursor.

### Boomerangs

Boomerangs are melee weapons that return to the player after being thrown. Together with yoyos, they provide the earliest distance attacks that benefit from melee bonuses.

### Other

These are melee weapons that possess unique means of attack. Most also launch projectiles.

Slingshots are ranged weapons that can be charged, with the damage increasing as it charges. Slingshots do not require any ammo.
