question about damage types

[Kwinki]

Hello all,

I just made a westerness damage type weapon with like 41-67 damage. But it does damage against all type of enemies for some reason.

So I'm just wondering..Is a common weapon better overal or do you people suggest a special damage type weapon against all mobs? I honestly don't understand how the damage system works in this game lol

Well the short anwser to your question is that you are better off using a named damage type such as Ancient Dwarf or Beleriand; as that will increase the amount of damage the weapon will do against certain types of mobs.

In most cases, your weapon will damage any mob you encounter regardless of the damage type you are using on the weapon. The weapon will just be more effective against certain types of mobs. The one exception to this rule is that Ancient Dwarf make damage is the only weapon damage type that injures the drakes of Saurnor, which is a level 50 repuation dungeon in Erid Luin.
