Weapons name |
Burn
A small burn from a fire is visible on the weapon. Most the time, as long as the items aren’t made of wood or other flammable material, this is superficial.
Clean as the day it was made
Even if the weapon is hundreds of years old it’s very clean. Either it has some magical properties or someone’s been looking after it.
Crack
This damage can be quite severe. If hit in the wrong place the item can get weaker or even break.
Creators mark
Often small or subtle, many weapon creators’ leave evidence of their work on an item. This can be their symbol to a particular style.
Evidence of repair
This weapon has obviously been repaired.
Groove/Blood Groove
A channel has been deliberately made in the item. This may allow blood to flow or arrows (or even other items) to sit etc.
Names
Sometimes, the weapon has marking on it to indicate not only the name of the weapon but who it belongs to.
Nick
A small part of the weapon has been chipped off. Although this has no performance issues, it doesn’t look nice
No visible markings under normal light/sight
There may be a message, the makers name, the weapon names or anything else of a similar nature, but to see it, you must use non-standard light or vision.
Number of kills
Some owners like to keep track of the kills they have made with the weapon using a tally/gate system.
Runes/Magical writing
Runes & other arcane writings adorn this weapon. They may or may not have an effect.
Rust/Mould/etc.
Rust/Mould represents an item in advanced decay, through age or other means
Scratch
Normally found of weapons that are used a lot, scratch or surface damage. Does not impede the weapons use, but will lower the value and looks.
Serration
Deliberately made cuts into the item, serration can be intimidating if spotted and may also provide extra damage
Stains
Various stains are left on the item, from acid, to blood or other materials.
