Weapon families
Each class has its own weapon line, and many early weapons can be shared by several classes. The fan wiki groups them like this:
- Swords and knives, axes, spears and scythes: mainly Dark Knight and Magic Gladiator.
- Staffs: Dark Wizard and Magic Gladiator; sticks and books: Summoner.
- Bows and crossbows: Fairy Elf. Scepters: Dark Lord. Claws: Rage Fighter. Lances: Grow Lancer.
- Short swords: Slayer. Magic guns: Gun Crusher. Blades: Illusion Knight.
- Maces and shields are shared by several classes; some late shields belong to one class only.
Early weapon examples
The fan wiki gives full numbers only for some low-tier weapons. A few of them:

Bows and shields
The old official item guide lists the Fairy Elf bow line from the Short Bow, Crossbow and Bow through the Silver Bow, Bluewing Crossbow and Chaos Nature Bow up to the Divine Crossbow of Archangel, Saint Crossbow, Viper Bow, Great Rain Crossbow and Dark Stinger Bow. The fan wiki adds later bows such as the Albatross, Aileen and Sylph Wind bows for the Muse Elf, and the Angelic Bow and Devil Crossbow for the High Elf.
Shields run from the Small Shield and Buckler up to the Dragon Shield, Grand Soul Shield, Frost Barrier Shield, Crimson Glory Shield, Guardian Shield and Salamender Shield. Early shields fit many classes, while later ones are tied to one, for example the Grand Soul Shield for the Soul Master and the Lapid Shield for the Grow Lancer.
Armor sets by class
A set is made of a helm, armor, gloves, pants and boots. Every class has its own early sets, and then all classes share the same late tiers: Bloodangel, Darkangel, Holyangel, Awakening Soul, Blue Eye, Silver Heart, Manticore, Brilliant and Crimson Apocalypse. The first four are created in the Chaos Machine; see Mastery Items for the official details.
