WIELD

WIELD Usage: wield <weapon>

Unless you like to fight things barehanded you should consider getting

yourself a weapon. To actually be able to use the weapon you have to wield it.

Unlike other equipment you cannot wear weapons and you do have to type wield

to use it. Some classes have the skill dual wield which allows them to wield a

second weapon in your offhand at the same time.

There are many different types of weapons, which type you prefer is a matter

of taste and usually depends what Class you have chosen. Warriors are more

likely to use slashing or goring weapons, while thieves are more likely to use

piercing weapons like a dagger instead.

Spellcasting classes are lousy fighters and as such they are much better off

using their hands for casting spells, with either an orb or a staff to

increase the damage. They however have to wear the orb or hold the staff.
