Weapons (Fable)

"The Longsword is equally effective in defense and attack and has been a mainstay of Heroes throughout Albion's long history." - Excerpt from Iron Longsword Description

Weapons are, without a doubt, one of the most important equipment a Hero needs. Weapons can be categorized into melee and ranged. Weapons can be further broken down into materials they are made of from: Iron, Steel, Obsidian, and Master. Legendary Weapons are special weapons which often have already been augmented.

Weapon Variants[]

Melee Weapon Variants[]

Iron Weapons[]

Iron Weapons are the weakest Melee weapon variant in the entire game. Usually made by Blacksmiths, they are fairly cheap and useful against Wasps, Beetles, and weak Bandits, although they are a bad matchup against stronger monsters like Bandit Leaders, Guards, and Balverines. No augmentations are possible in weapons this basic.

Steel Weapons[]

Slightly better than Iron. These cost a little more than the Iron and tend to be better. One augmentation is possible in each.

Obsidian Weapons[]

Obsidian Weapons are the middle class. Apparently evil in nature according to their lore, they do not actually affect the player's Alignment. These weapons are very deadly against many enemies. These are a good substitute for Master and Legendary weapons, should they be unavailable to you. Two augmentations are possible in each.

Master Weapons[]

The final, and most deadly class of weapons commonly found in shops. While there might be some exceptions, these weapons will destroy practically anything that opposes you. Only the strongest monsters have some chance of standing against these weapons. Unfortunately, they also have a tendency to burn holes in Heroes' wallets due to their extremely high cost. Three augmentations are possible in each.

Ranged Weapon Variants[]

Yew Weapons[]

These are the weakest and cheapest bows available. They can be used to pick off any enemies from a distance, though cracking the skull of a Bandit Leader or an Undead Soldier will require something made of much stronger wood.

Oak Weapons[]

Second weakest. These things will crack the more tough nuts, and skulls, and armour, and earth, and rock. They are also somewhat cheap, so they are an excellent sniping weapon.

Ebony Weapons[]

In the middle, these weapons are pretty useful. A sniping weapon that will come in handy. Don't rely on them when you're surrounded by deadly monsters, though.

Master Weapons[]

These are in the same class as the master weapons for melee combat. As such, they are very expensive but deadly in combat.

Legendary Weapons[]

Legendary Weapons are the top class of weapons. They are found almost exclusively in the field, but a select few can be bought. The defining characteristic of Legendary Weapons is that they come with augmentations already applied.
