Slashing weapons

[ArmoredCoreRaven]

Anyone else having issues trying to make slashing weapons? Someone needs an axe but my blades only pierce.

Check the material you're using.

Can you elaborate on this? I only have access to copper and none of this makes any sense when it comes to making a specific damage type. I make a literal cylinder and it's piercing damage. I make a sword identical to the starting example sword, sharp as a razor: blunt damage. I make a small spearhead shaped like an arrow head only about 5 inches long: slashing damage.

At this point it seems completely random what damage type you get and just have to keep checking after every turn on the grinder wheel.

I have this same problem. I ended up giving up and submitting a sword even though it was testing as a piercing type and it accepted it. I wonder if there's a bug in the training dummy itself and how it registers damage types?

Did you use the right metal?
