I know, you're probably thinking, "What's this about? Get to the point!" I'll get to that. Starting now.

Lance: Typically, Elves used lances in battle, alongside swords, spears, and their infamous bows. The blade was around 1/3 the length of the handle, and was usually beautifually decorated. Typically used on foot(unlike medieval lancers and their weapons, which were cavalry) they were a fearsome and effective weapon against the hosts of Mordor. Gil-galad the Elvenking used just such a lance as I have described.

Abilities of the Lance: Well, you wouldn't throw them, as they were melee weapons. More knockback than your standard weapon(about twice as much) but less damage, oh, around 5.5 to 6 HP. The blades would glow blue when Orcs are near(because these are mono-Elven weapons.)

Crafting recipe of the Lance: Diagonal on any Elven CT, with a Elf-steel ingot at either end and a stick(mallorn for Galadhrim) in the middle.

Looks of the Lance: Almost the same as the current spear, but with the blade longer and more elegant, and the haft shorter.

Stave: A.K.A Staff, the stave is a mighty(but simple) weapon and tool. As a weapon, it could be used to crack over a enemy's skull. As a tool, it could help you get out of that annoying quagmire you found yourself in.

Abilities of the Stave: Right click on a block, it raises you one block above that and takes away durability. Simple, eh?

Crafting recipe of the Stave: Diagonal on any CT, with three sticks(mallorn for Galadhrim).

Looks of the Stave: A simple larger-than-normal stick of the wood you made it from(e.g., a Gondorian Stave would be the color of Lebrethon wood, while a Galadhrim Stave would be the color of mallorn).

Cloak: The time-honored tool of concealment(and keeping the wet and cold off).

Abilities of the Cloak: Dyeable, and able to be worn over your armor, the cloak would be used to

A: Conceal yourself(if you dyed it correctly)

B: Reduce the exposure damage in the lands of Harad and Forodwaith.

and

C: If you placed a banner and a cloak in the same CT, the cloak would have that faction's symbol on it(e.g., a White Tree for Gondor or a yellow leaf for Galadhrim)

Crafting recipe of the Cloak: Wool(any color) in the form of a chestplate, with a string in the empty spot. Automatically makes the cloak white, but it can be dyed any color.

Looks of the Cloak: Full-body coverage, over the armor you wear and your helm(if you have one). The Galadhrim spike-thing on its helm would still be present, poking outside the hood of the Cloak.

Two-handed longsword: Arguably one of the most useful weapons in all recorded history, the two-handed longsword is a masterpiece of fine-tuned killing.

Abilities of the Two-handed longsword: More knockback and damage than a regular sword, but gives Mining Fatigue I whilst holding it in your hand(because it's heavier than your average blade.) For the Elvish versions, they glow blue when Orcs are near.

Crafting recipe of the two-handed longsword: Diagonal on any CT, with one stick in the bottom left corner and two ingots(any type, depending on your faction CT) proceeding up in the middle spot and top right corner.

Looks of the two-handed longsword: For Elves, see the swords they use at Helm's Deep in Peter Jackson's film. I'm sorry, there's just nothing closer to what I'm thinking of. For everyone else's faction, it would be a longer and slightly thinner version of their normal sword, and the hilt and grip would be longer. I LOVE YOU!
