Mount&Blade/Weapons

Weapons in Mount&Blade are divided into a number of categories based on the weapon proficiencies used when wielding them. Weapons can also have various modifiers (shown to the right) that determine weapon quality or attribute changes. Some modifiers are only for certain type of weapons.

These tables are raw data extracted from  using the M&B Item Editor. In practise, merchants will normally charge more for weapons they sell and pay less for those they buy. Putting points in Trade will bring these amounts closer to the item's true value. Weapons that cannot be purchased (those that lack the "merchandise" flag) are not listed here.
