Noob question; Weapon level?

[Actionjackson]

Real quick, i have 2 wands;

lvl1 3-4 damage(poison)
lvl2 2-3 damage(poison)

normal i would keep the one with higher damage, but i read it is better to use weapons with same level(however i dont know why) and fane, the one who use the wands in my party is lvl2.

So should i use the lvl2 wand that does "less" damge on paper? Will it do more damage even if it say is has less?

You can dual wield wands and use both. If not, then use the higher damage one. Typically wand damage doesn't matter and you only want to use them for the stat boosts for the most part later on

When you equip weapon with higher lvl than yourself, you will get penalty for that (less accuracy for weapon), the game will tell you if you get penalty after wearing said weapons

For armor it will give a different penalty, but can't remember what, but the game will always tell you if you get penalty and the amount of penalty

There is actually no penalty for armour or such above your level, only weapons.

Wand and shield can improve your mage survival. Putting two points into warfare give access to bouncing shield and deflective barrier.

Thanks guys! Does the same count for a meele weapon?

Like keep the lower level weapoon if the paper damage is higher? What would be the level difference where i should take the higher level weapon with "maybe" less damage?

Say if my weapon is 2,3,4 or more levels below my character level, or should i always go for the weapon with most paper damage, and disregard the item level?

Depends, if your character basic attacks a lot, then yes, try to keep the one with the most paper damage. Keep in mind, a lower-level high rarity weapon could be more or just as powerful as a higher-level lower rarity one. I believe the character panel should tell you how much actual damage your weapons will deal. For spellcasters, the stat boost/status effect matter more and can compensate for the lost damage if there's not much difference.

Also, dual-wield wands with huntsman can be pretty scary. Just saying.

The whole thing regarding weapon levels is related to scaling. Things at low levels don't get affected by it as much. Lower weapons can still be better if they're higher tier.

This is an old thread, but should show what I mean.
