Farever Weapons Guide
100+ weapons, each with its own skill kit. Here's how the system works and what to grab early.
How weapon skills work
Farever uses a weapon-driven skill system inspired by Guild Wars 2. Equipping a weapon grants 4–5 active abilities tied to that weapon. Use the weapon to level its mastery; higher mastery unlocks stronger variants of those skills and minor passives. Class skills are layered on top — they are weapon-agnostic.
Main weapon families
| Weapon | Best on | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sword & Shield | Warrior, Mystic | Best survivability. Block parries and a guard-break finisher. |
| Greatsword | Warrior | Highest single-target stagger. Slow but rewarding. |
| Dual Daggers | Warrior, Ranger | Fast crit-stacking kit. Strong vs single bosses. |
| Spear | Warrior, Mystic | Range-poke melee. Excellent for kiting in solo play. |
| Longbow | Ranger | High burst at range; charged shots ignore part of armour. |
| Shortbow | Ranger | Sustained DPS, mobile attacks, weaker per-hit. |
| Throwing Knives | Ranger, Warrior | Off-hand pressure. Great when paired with daggers. |
| Staff | Mage, Mystic | Elemental AoE; the bread-and-butter mage weapon. |
| Wand & Focus | Mage, Mystic | Single-target nuking with shield from focus off-hand. |
| Tome | Mystic | Group buffs, heals and shields. Required for true support play. |
Best early-game weapons
- Warrior: Sword & Shield until you find the Skyover Greatsword (level 8 dungeon drop).
- Ranger: Longbow — the "Hunter's Recurve" is craftable at level 5.
- Mage: Frost Staff — buyable from the town vendor; it carries you through Skyover.
- Mystic: Tome of Dawn — unlocks after the first faction quest in Skyover.
Upgrading & runes
Take weapons to the Blacksmith to push them past tier 3. Slot runes inscribed by a Scholar to add stats. Avoid over-investing in greens — save mats for the first blue or purple drop.
Weapon swapping
Always carry two weapons. Swapping mid-fight resets some cooldowns and is the cleanest way to break a boss guard or finish a stagger window. Pair fast + slow (e.g. Daggers + Greatsword) to cover every range band.
