tibia guide: Choosing a Weapon for Knight

Knights are the masters of melee(close range) fighting. Thus, they have 4 different weapon types to choose from: Axe, Club, Sword and Fist fighting. All of the weapons have different pros and cons, so you should pick your weapons carefully. AXE: It is quite easy to gain a strong axe without too much effort or tibia money. Meanwhile, most of the "strong, but easy-to-get" axes (i.e. battle axe, double axe and halberd) are twohanded. Leaving you without a shield. Also, the best axe, Dragon Lance(ATK:47), which is even stronger than Giant Sword(ATK:46), is pretty hard to get nowadays, since they are mainly gained by killing Black Knights and Dragon Lords. CLUB: Just as axes, most good clubs are easy to get. Meanwhile, if you choose to start using clubs, you will most likely use only the following 4 of them during your whole Tibian life: Club, Mace, Morning Star(, Clerical Mace) and Warhammer (and possibly crowbar for training). Most of the others are not worth much tibia gold. Warhammer(ATK:45) is most often the strongest club people can get their hands on, and it is not too hard to get when compared to Dragon Lance and Giant Sword, since it can be gained by killing wild warriors, who are not too hard. In other words, clubs are the quick way to the top, but the top isn't usually as high as if you had chosen axes or swords. SWORD: There are about as many swords in Tibia as ALL other weapons together. Meanwhile, most of these swords are too weak and/or rare to be used. Swords are the basic weapon type, often chosen by those who want their attack and defense to be in balance. Strongest available sword for a typical Tibian is Giant Sword(ATK:46), which is just a bit weaker than Dragon Lance. For those who want to stick to using a sword AND a shield usually end up with a Fire sword(ATK:35). FISTS: Unless any fist fighting weapons are implimented, fist fighting is quite worthless. Using a club with 10 clubbing skill is about as effective as having 70 fist fighting. The biggest difference comes in the fact that a fist fighter can hold 2 shields for possible extra DEF value. However, I am not sure if you actually gain any extra DEF from a secondary shield with you tibia power leveling. Some people say that only the DEF value of the stronger shield is counted (+ shielding skill).
