Fist/Mace are now 2.6.

Sword is still 2.8, dagger is still 1.8.

A very odd choice. What hell is this? Why discriminate?

This makes the:

Best MH weapon in the game. Although I suspect the effort to get this is probably more than arena weapons.

Two hands are 3.6, you will see warrior/paladin all become hammer smith to get:

The highest upgraded versions of the weaponsmithing items won't be crafted until guilds are well into tier 5. So, you're comparing tier 4 weapons to tier 5, which isn't an entirely useful comparison.

So you guys just wanted to keep these weapons on par with tier 4, and the season after the first update them to be on par with tier 5?


New versions (tier 5 equivalents) will be introduced after the first season (and eventually tier 6, etc).
