The equipment you wear has stats of its own and these stats can show the strength and weakness of your character as they are your defense and attack bonuses. In terms of bonuses, there are six categories – slash, crush, stab, magic, range and strength. Slash is an effective account which can do more damage against light armor like dragonhide and robes. Crush can do much effective damage against heavy armor such as platemail. Stab is a penetrating attack which could do more damage against chainmail. Magic can be effective when using a staff though it inflicts little damage with sword. Ranged is not effective against heavy armor but you can still benefit from it when your opponents wear leather or Dragonhide armor. The amount of damage you hit is up to your Strength. As common sense tells us, the higher level weapons are, the better bonuses you can gain from them.
As we all know there are various kinds of weapon, ranging from daggers to barrows weapons and each kind has its own drawbacks and strength. Daggers are one-handed weapons that are not strong but they are quite fast and they have poisoning effect. Short swords are one-handed and a little stronger than daggers. They inflict low damage though they are fast and not quite effective in battle. Scimitars are similar to daggers and short swords as they are fast and one-handed. But they can give a fair amount of damage to your opponents. Maces are slow one-handed weapon. If you are good at collecting weapons, you can sell them to some online stores which run business on runescape accounts sell and RS items selling.
If you want to find some weapons, they can be easily be found anywhere in game. You can buy from Weapon Stores, Grand Exchange, General Stores, scattered throughout Runescape or some players. Or you can just go to some websites which provide runescape accounts for sale with RS items. If you are lucky, you can get some weapons from Monster Drops, the weapon, and the monster, both vary wildly. If you want to, you can also smith weapons, so long as you have the smithing level for the item you want.
