Polearms are weapons with high range, added in Beta 25. They are, as the title suggests, on top of a pole. There are four different statisitc sets to polearms.
Spears[]
Spears have a reach of 150%, swing speed of 100%, and do B-1 damage. Spears are used by most factions, and iron, bronze and mithril variants can be crafted on a normal crafting table.
Spears are crafted with 1 ingot, and two sticks.
As a side note, spears can be thrown, making them the only weapons in the game aside from the mace of Sauron, the Staff of Gandalf and depending on how you look at it the Balrog whip, to do both ranged and melee damage.
Battlestaff-type weapons.[]
Battlestaffs, tridents and warscythes all share the same statisitcs. They have 150% range, 83% swingspeed, and do B damage. The battlestaffs are used by all elvish factions, the warscythe by Mordor, and the trident by Dunland.
Battlestaves are crafted with two ingots and one stick.
Tridents are crafted with three ingots and two sticks.
Pike-type weapons[]
Pikes, Longspears, Halberds and Polaxes all share the same statistics. They have 200% range, 65% swing speed and do B damage. They are crafted with three ingots, and two sticks, except for the longspear, which is crafted with two ingots, rather then three.
Lances[]
Lances have 200% range, 50% swing speed and do B damage, however in addition to this they do +1 knockback and will give a speed decrease to players weilding unmounted. As of beta 27, they are only used by Dol-Amroth, Gondor, and Rohan and currently have no evil equivilant. It is also worth noting that NPCs will only spawn weilding lances when mounted, so don't spend all your silver on foot soilders, hoping to get a few of these.
They are crafted with two sticks, and three ingots.
