Weapon Summary
Credit to Ravage90 and the SOTF players in the test groups for weapon balancing input
--------------
-- AXES --
--------------

Berserker Axe - Between Stone - Metal Hatchet Damage. A chance to add 10-second none- stackable bleed that does 50 damage. Throwable

Knight Axe - Slightly better than Metal hatchet. Throwable (middle mouse)

RoyalAxe - Metal Hatchet Damage, but has armor piercing.

------------------
-- SWORDS --
------------------

Saxon - Metal Sword Damage

Falchion - Metal Sword damage, chance to add bleed 10-second non-stackable that does 50 damage.

Norman - Metal Sword, armor piercing.

Dagger - Hard hitting, but hard to hit. Can do about 200 damage with the same bleed. But it drains massive stamina and you have to be super close. It's near impossible to hit a moving target. (Throwable). (middle mouse)

How do you make the tranq arrow? It says to use barbed arrow-head, narcs and tranq arrow but, there is no way to make a tranq arrow. Thanks.

Maces either have the wrong tooltip, or are not working correctly. They mention being good for collecting metal from rocks. They are atrocious at collecting metal, flint, and stone.

For resource collection, can you list where they fall with respect to stone pick/axe and metal pick/axe?

Is it just me, or are the tranq arrows and arbelests here REALLY inefficient for taming? I've had multiple times where the tranquizers for both the Royal Arbelest and Arbelest seem to be inferior to the vanilla game's crossbow and it's projected amount of shots for torpor. Or is it just me?

how are the hammers/maces compared to pickaxes for harvesting? i just crafted a morning star and it seemed to get a lot of metal but took a very long time to break the rock. but it seemed really bad for getting thatch compared to normal stone axe

@vileacid what is the comparison against hatchet and pickaxe for all of them? Also please add longspear and include whether grapple is reusable or one time use.

Does the longbow + bodkin is the same as compound + metal? Since if you would put stone arrows on the compound bow you would get less damage than the crossbow.
