Category talk:Blunt Weapons

From Mabinogi World Wiki

Training rods

They should have their own category in the tools section, since they're made specifically for a life skill rather than combat. I'd do it my self but i don't know how.--Goldenchikle 05:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Blunt "Weapons"

Do we even need the Weapons part? We don't do it for any other weapon.

I'm guessing it's to seperate it from it's other meaning? That, and although the mastery of the skill is called "Blunt Mastery", the skill description refers to the weapons as "blunt weapons" instead of just "blunts" (which every other mastery skill does).

Swords and Axes don't have "Weapons" as a suffix though...

Infodude57516:51, 5 July 2012
 

A blunt can refer to many things, while a sword, axe, and a crossbow only refer to well...a sword, axe and a crossbow.

Blunt can mean...?

Infodude57517:48, 5 July 2012
 

...Are you seriously asking that? The word blunt can be ambiguous, while the other weapon name types aren't (well, maybe cylinder >_>).


i.e. If I went to a random person and said "I am going to attack you with/sell you/lend you (you get the point) a sword, then that person wouldn't have to guess what I meant by a sword. Same goes for most of the other weapon types in Mabi. But if I were to say "I am going to attack you with/sell you/lend you a blunt", then the word "blunt" can become ambiguous since there are other meanings to the word. Whereas if I said "blunt weapon", almost everyone, even people who don't play this game, would understand what I am refering to - A non-pointy weapon that can be used to beat someone. (How often have you heard someone getting beaten by a blunt, as opposed to a blunt object, weapon, etc.)


TL;DR "Blunt weapon" takes away the ambiguity while "blunt" can be misinterpreted.

I see...

Infodude57518:41, 5 July 2012
 

Actually, a better example: If you're at work/a teen at home and you're browsing the wiki (blunt page specifically) and your supervisor/parents walk in and see that you're looking at a page titled "Category:Blunts", what are they going to assume?

See how adding "weapons" to the end of it takes away from the multiple possible meanings?

I guess I could help here. C:
So I suppose Blunt being a slang word as for, y'know, item of recreation. o3o
But if it would help you more:

Dictionary.com or definitions for kids:
having an obtuse, thick, or dull edge or point; rounded; not sharp

Wikipedia:

Blunt weapons are primarily melee weapons designed to use blunt trauma to inflict damage on their targets. Most are club-like, and rely on the user's strength and the mass of the weapon to create blunt force.

Although, there arises another problem, the word Blunt is used ingame to describe Blunted Weapons, never Blunt Weapon. Pretty much anything can be a Blunt, offline and ingame. Even some gloves are Blunt Weapons in Mabinogi.

One-handed and Two-handed

Shouldn't there be a separate category for one-handed and two-handeds? Because the Swords page has that.

Bare-Handed Page?

This Wikis been around for years. Why is there a lack of a page for "Bare Hands"? I mean, they are technically weapons and the like.

Infodude57500:36, 28 July 2011

I agree, they should be one. It's really unappreciated and overlooked, but it can be more useful than some weapons, in all honesty.

That's VERY true. I use it a lot in simple dungeons (ie- Ciar Basic) where my fists prove effective. Plus it saves a lot of dura.
