Dragon's Dogma 2 - Weapons

Every vocation in Dragon's Dogma 2 fights with its own weapon classes, and a weapon's Strength or Magick decides how hard its attacks land. The best weapon of each class comes first below, then the classes with the vocations that wield them, how enhancement raises a weapon's power, and every weapon in the game.

Best Weapons

Each weapon below is the best of its class in the game, ranked by its Strength, or its Magick for staves, archistaves, censers and magickal bows, after full enhancement.

Weapon Classes

Enhancement

Every weapon can be enhanced three times at an armoury or smithy, each time for gold and the materials listed below, and a fourth time with Wyrmfire. Any armoury or smithy works on weapons and armour alike. Each smith works in one style, and you can mix styles from one level to the next.

• Vermundian raises every attribute moderately. Armouries and smithies in Vermund offer it, such as Roderick's Smithy and Bjorn's Armory in Vernworth.
• Elven raises Magick and Magick Defense greatly, Strength and Defense only a little. Grisha's Armory in Sacred Arbor offers it.
• Battahli raises Strength and Defense greatly, Magick and Magick Defense only a little. Armouries in Battahl offer it, such as Awaran's Arms and Bodas's Armory in Bakbattahl.
• Dwarven raises Knockdown Power and Knockdown Resistance. Sara at Brokkr's Smithy offers it after Steeled Resolve, Blazing Forge, and Gautstafr after Put a Spring in Thy Step.
• Wyrmfire halves the weight and gives a further boost once the first three enhancements are done. The Dragonforged at Bay Wayside Shrine takes payment in Wyrmslife Crystals instead of gold.

The tables below give the cost, materials and result of every level for each style.

Elements

Weapons that carry Fire, Ice, Lightning or Holy add that element to every hit, and a monster weak to it takes more damage. How each element works, and which weapons carry it, is on Damage Types and Effects.
