Are you a natural at slaying things? The skill of Weaponry relates to how well you can handle a weapon that may fall into your hands in the course of the game, and in Sryth, weapons of all types are very common, especially in the hands of nasty things intending to clobber you with them!
Uses[]
The Weaponry skill will give you bonuses to your Melee Rating when using a weapon. On rare occasions, such as when giving a non-lethal demonstration of your combat prowess, your Weaponry skill may be checked just as any other skill. When you first get the Weaponry skill or any of its subskills, you get 1 extra point of MR.

Weaponry Subskills[]
These subskills can only be learned in the game; if you start a character from scratch, they will not have them. Although they are called "subskills", you can learn them even if you don't have Weaponry yet.
Originally the Weaponry subskills increased your MR at the same rate as general Weaponry, but as of May 12, 2012 they have a bigger effect on your MR, as shown below. There is an additional +1 bonus to MR if your Weaponry and the subskill for your wielded weapon are within 5 levels of each other.

Complete data has not been gathered, but the table below shows what has been observed. Also, see Combat for more information about temporary MR changes during combat.
