Weapons and Armour of New Moon




Weapons and armour are important aspect of New Moon, just as they are in any rpg game. In New Moon you can buy weapons and armour, but they are normally not very good. Other ways to obtain weapons and armour are: kill npcs and take theirs, forge them yourself (or get someone else to do it for you), or complete quests/solve puzzles. Of these availible methods, the best can generally be obtained through quests. But there are exceptions; the best helm (in my opinion) is the great horned helm which is forgeable. Chainmail greaves and iron gauntlets (heavy spiked are not) are not only forgeable, but very good protection. Each guild varies a bit in what weapon/armour is best for them. For example, the holy mace is my person weapon of choice, and is availible only to people of my guild. But don't just think you need to get a weapon from your guild or a quest - plenty of forgable/findable weapons judge average-excellent. This is a page devoted to the weapon and armour of New Moon. It is just started, and is a work in progress. This page tells you what they judge and weigh (to me) and, if a weapon, what skill it uses
