Weapon Specializations

Weapon specializations are essentially a skill boost in one particular skill. You can think of it as a +1 on top of your existing skill. Fighter/Paladin/Barbarian get 3 specializations, and Thief gets 1.

You can choose to either spec 3 times for the same weapon, or for 3 different weapons.

If you choose to specialize multiple times in different weapons, you can do it at level 15, level 17, and level 19. If you choose to do 3 of the same weapons, you can specialize at level 15, level 19, and level 24.

To specialize, you go to a trainer, hold a weapon from the particular weapon class (say, longsword) and you’ll say xxx, specialize longsword. Halberds are considered “polearm” for specialization purposes.

Specializations can be removed by going to an NPC in the Conqueror’s Club and giving up a Lanapi staff (warning: you will LOSE access to this area and have to regain it by fetching the 9 items).
