Weapons are the primary means of doing damage to foes, and different character classes can equip different weapons. Without a weapon equipped, the character will fight barehanded, doing very little damage (except for the Monk/Master, which can do more damage barehanded than armed).

[edit] Swords

Swords are among the most common weapons in the world. They are typically longer than daggers. Most swords are two-edged and used for slashing attacks rather than piercing ones. However, the term "sword" is a fairly loose one and covers everything from the standard short sword to the exotic katana and Masamune. The sheer variety of these weapons ensures that there is one for almost any occasion.

In any case, the staff is almost always wielded by a spell caster who has no need of weaponry to cause destruction.
