Overworld Weapons Guide – All Melee, Ranged, and Magic

Weapons are one of the most important parts of progression in Overworld. The game gives you several different types of weapons to choose from, including melee weapons, ranged weapons, and magic weapons, so you can build your character around the playstyle you enjoy.

In this Overworld Weapons Guide, I’ll go through all of the currently listed weapons, including their rarity, damage, requirements, and sell price. I’ll also explain how the weapon system works, especially the difference between Perfected and Diminished weapons.

If you’re just starting out, don’t worry about getting the strongest weapon immediately. Your Combat, Bowing, and other progression requirements will naturally unlock better equipment as you play. Focus on using something appropriate for your current level and upgrade as you progress.

Overworld has three main weapon categories:

• Melee Weapons

• Ranged Weapons

• Magic Weapons

Weapons can be crafted, obtained as enemy loot, or purchased.

One thing that makes crafted weapons interesting is that their stats aren’t always exactly the same.

Crafted weapons have randomized stats within a specific range.

If you get a weapon with stats at the highest end of its possible range, it is labeled Perfected.

On the other hand, weapons with stats at the lowest end of their range are labeled Diminished.

Some weapons can also have additional stats beyond their basic Damage value.

Because of this, two weapons with the same name can potentially perform differently depending on the stats you receive.

Melee weapons are designed for close-range combat.

The current melee weapon selection includes Swords, Axes, and Maces.

Swords are one of the easiest melee weapon types to understand.

As you progress through the game, you’ll find stronger versions of the basic Sword line, with higher Damage and increasing Combat requirements.

• Rarity: Ordinary

• Perfected Damage: 6–7

• Diminished Damage: 4–5

• Requirement: 5 Combat

• Sell Price: 8

The Stone Sword is one of the earliest weapons you’ll encounter.

Its low Combat requirement makes it accessible to new players, and it’s a perfectly fine weapon while you’re learning the basics.

• Rarity: Common

• Perfected Damage: 9–10

• Diminished Damage: 6–7

• Requirement: 10 Combat

• Sell Price: 64

The Bronze Sword provides a noticeable improvement over the Stone Sword.

Once you have enough Combat progression, this is a natural early upgrade.

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Perfected Damage: 11–12

• Diminished Damage: 9–10

• Requirement: 20 Combat

• Sell Price: 35

The Rusty Iron Sword increases your Damage while requiring 20 Combat.

Its sell price is lower than the Bronze Sword, but the weapon itself provides stronger combat potential.

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Perfected Damage: 13–14

• Diminished Damage: 11–12

• Requirement: 20 Combat

• Sell Price: 129

The Iron Sword is another upgrade at the 20 Combat requirement.

It offers more Damage than the Rusty Iron Sword, making it the better option if you’re choosing between the two based purely on Damage.

• Rarity: Rare

• Perfected Damage: 15–16

• Diminished Damage: 13–14

• Requirement: 30 Combat

• Sell Price: 230

Silver Sword is the next major step in the basic Sword progression.

With a 30 Combat requirement, you’ll need to spend some time developing your character before you can use it.

• Rarity: Common

• Perfected Damage: 14–16

• Diminished Damage: 9–10

• Requirement: 15 Combat

• Sell Price: 86

The Bronze Longsword is an interesting option because it has a relatively low Combat requirement while offering up to 16 Perfected Damage.

If you’re able to obtain a good roll, it can be a useful weapon during the early game.

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Perfected Damage: 17–19

• Diminished Damage: 14–15

• Requirement: 25 Combat

• Sell Price: 176

The Iron Longsword gives you another significant Damage increase.

With up to 19 Perfected Damage, it can be a strong choice for players progressing through the mid-early stages of the game.

• Rarity: Rare

• Perfected Damage: 19–21

• Diminished Damage: 16–17

• Requirement: 35 Combat

• Sell Price: 378

Silver Longsword currently has the highest listed Damage among the basic Sword options.

A Perfected version can reach 21 Damage, making it a strong melee choice once you have the required 35 Combat.

Axes are another melee option, but some of them provide an additional Gathering Speed stat.

That means they can be useful for more than just combat.

• Rarity: Common

• Perfected Damage: 9–12

• Diminished Damage: 7–8

• Gathering Speed: 2–3

• Requirement: 5 Combat

• Sell Price: 106

The Bronze War Axe is available very early because it only requires 5 Combat.

It also provides Gathering Speed, making it an interesting choice if you want a weapon that helps with more than fighting.

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Perfected Damage: 13–16

• Diminished Damage: 11–12

• Gathering Speed: 2–3

• Requirement: 10 Combat

• Sell Price: 211

Iron War Axe increases the Damage while maintaining the 2–3 Gathering Speed range.

With only 10 Combat required, it can be a useful early-game upgrade.

• Rarity: Rare

• Perfected Damage: 16–19

• Diminished Damage: 13–14

• Gathering Speed: 2–3

• Requirement: 30 Combat

• Sell Price: 375

Silver War Axe provides up to 19 Perfected Damage while keeping the Gathering Speed bonus.

If you want a weapon that combines decent combat performance with gathering utility, this is an option worth considering.

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Perfected Damage: 10–11

• Diminished Damage: 8–9

• Gathering Speed: 2

• Requirement: 20 Combat

• Sell Price: 40

The Rusty Iron Battle Axe is another axe option requiring 20 Combat.

Its Gathering Speed is 2, while its Perfected Damage reaches 11.

• Perfected Damage: 12–13

• Diminished Damage: 9–10

• Gathering Speed: 2

• Requirement: 20 Combat

• Sell Price: 141

Iron Battle Axe is a direct upgrade over the Rusty version.

It has up to 13 Perfected Damage while retaining the Gathering Speed bonus.

Maces provide another close-range option.

The current list includes basic wooden and silver weapons, along with two Exceedingly Rare weapons that provide additional bonuses.

• Rarity: Common

• Perfected Damage: 7–8

• Diminished Damage: 4–5

• Requirement: 5 Combat

• Sell Price: 5

Wooden Club is a basic early-game mace.

It has a low Combat requirement, making it accessible almost immediately.

• Rarity: Rare

• Perfected Damage: 13.5–15

• Diminished Damage: 11–12

• Requirement: 30 Combat

• Sell Price: 230

Silver Mace offers a solid Damage increase compared with the Wooden Club.

You’ll need 30 Combat before you can use it.

• Rarity: Exceedingly Rare

• Damage: 14

• Melee Bonus: 4

• Damage Resistance: 2

• Requirement: 35 Combat

• Sell Price: 1,000

Goblin Flail is more interesting than the basic maces because it has additional stats.

Alongside 14 Damage, you get 4 Melee Bonus and 2 Damage Resistance.

These additional stats can make it useful beyond its basic Damage number.

• Rarity: Exceedingly Rare

• Damage: 17

• Melee Bonus: 8

• Magic Bonus: Available

• Requirement: 35 Combat

• Sell Price: 1,000

Crusader Mace is another Exceedingly Rare weapon.

It provides 17 Damage and an 8 Melee Bonus, along with a Magic Bonus.

If you’re looking for a more specialized weapon with multiple stats, this is one of the more interesting options in the current list.

If you don’t enjoy fighting enemies up close, Overworld also has ranged weapons.

The current ranged section includes Bows and Arrows.

Your Bow determines the ranged weapon progression, while Arrows provide their own Damage values.

• Rarity: Common

• Requirement: 1 Bowing

• Sell Price: 21

Wooden Bow is the basic ranged option.

With only 1 Bowing required, it’s easy for new players to start experimenting with ranged combat.

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Requirement: 15 Bowing

• Sell Price: 75

Willow Bow requires 15 Bowing.

It’s a natural progression from the Wooden Bow as you develop your ranged skills.

• Rarity: Rare

• Requirement: 30 Bowing

• Sell Price: 145

Birch Bow requires 30 Bowing and is the next step in the ranged progression.

If you’re committed to using a Bow, this is one of the upgrades you’ll eventually work toward.

• Rarity: Very Rare

• Requirement: 40 Bowing

• Sell Price: 210

Pine Bow is currently the highest-rarity Bow listed.

You’ll need 40 Bowing to use it, so this is more of a long-term ranged progression goal.

Arrows provide their own Damage values.

You’ll want to keep your Arrow choice in mind when building a ranged setup.

• Rarity: Ordinary

• Damage: 10

• Sell Price: 1

Stone Arrow is the basic ammunition option.

It’s inexpensive and easy to use while you’re starting out.

• Rarity: Common

• Damage: 12

• Sell Price: 2

Bronze Arrow increases the Damage to 12.

It’s a simple upgrade from Stone Arrow.

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Damage: 14

• Sell Price: 3

Iron Arrow provides 14 Damage.

As you progress through the ranged system, this becomes another straightforward upgrade.

• Rarity: Rare

• Damage: 16

• Sell Price: 5

Silver Arrow currently has the highest listed Damage among the available Arrow options.

It provides 16 Damage and has a Rare rarity.

If melee and ranged combat aren’t your thing, you can also use Magic weapons.

The current Magic section consists of Spell Books and Staff-style weapons.

• Damage: 5

• Sell Price: 50

Air Bolt Staff is one of the basic magic weapons.

It provides 5 Damage and is a simple starting option for players interested in magical attacks.

• Damage: 5

• Sell Price: 75

Water Bolt Staff also provides 5 Damage.

The higher sell price makes it different from Air Bolt Staff despite having the same listed Damage.

• Damage: 8

• Sell Price: 100

Fireball Staff increases the Damage to 8.

If you’re progressing through the basic magic weapons, this is a natural upgrade.

• Damage: 9

• Sell Price: 100

Necromancer’s Staff provides 9 Damage.

It has the same listed sell price as Fireball Staff while offering slightly higher Damage.

• Damage: 80

• Sell Price: 1,200

Staff Of The Dead is in a completely different league from the other listed magic weapons.

It provides a massive 80 Damage, compared with the 5–9 Damage of the earlier Staffs.

Because of that huge increase, this is clearly a weapon you’ll want to keep in mind for later progression.

If you’re just starting Overworld, I wouldn’t worry too much about chasing rare equipment.

Your first goal should be to build up the relevant skill requirements and use whatever weapon is appropriate for your current progression.

Swords are a simple choice if you want straightforward close-range combat.

Axes are worth considering if you also care about Gathering Speed, while Maces can become more interesting later when you unlock weapons with additional bonuses.

If you prefer keeping your distance, go with a Bow.

You’ll need to develop your Bowing skill to unlock stronger options.

Remember that your Arrows also have their own Damage values, so don’t ignore your ammunition when upgrading your ranged setup.

Magic is another option if you prefer attacking through magical weapons.

The early Staffs have relatively low Damage, but the progression eventually leads to much stronger options such as Staff Of The Dead.

The weapon system in Overworld gives you plenty of ways to build your character.

You can choose between melee, ranged, and magic weapons, and each category has its own progression path.

One of the more interesting parts of the system is that crafted weapons can have randomized stats. A Perfected weapon has stats at the top of its possible range, while a Diminished weapon sits at the bottom.

Because of that, don’t judge a weapon only by its name. If you’re crafting equipment, pay attention to the actual stats you receive.

For beginners, I’d recommend keeping things simple. Pick the combat style you enjoy, work toward the required Combat or Bowing levels, and upgrade your equipment as better options become available.

As you progress further, you can start experimenting with weapons that have additional bonuses and build a setup specifically around the type of content you want to play.
