Longspears are elven melee weapons similar to pikes. Each group of elves, minus the Order of Bladorthin, as well as Dol-Amroth, has its own longspear. These weapons are different than spears, as described below. Unlike pikes, longspears do not point forward when the wielder crouches. Otherwise, they are functionally identical.
Statistics[]
Longspears have twice the reach of swords, but only swing 50% as fast. They deal their equipment set's base damage and have different durabilities. Their stats are essentially equivalent to those of pikes.
Crafting[]
The basic longspear recipe is similar to pikes, in that it is two sticks in a diagonal line with an elven steel or ingot in the top right corner, but with an additional ingot in the center right slot only. For High Elves, Wood-Elves, and Dol Amroth regular sticks are used, where as for Galadhrim Elves, Mallorn sticks are needed. Each longspear must be crafted on the respective crafting table.

NPCs[]
Currently, all elven warriors, and the knights and men-at-arms of Dol Amroth may spawn wielding a longspear. A longspear in the hands of an NPC retains its long reach, so keep that in mind when fighting longspear-wielding foes. Usually, your best bet when fighting these foes is using a polearms of your own, such as a spear, battlestaff, lance, pike or a ranged weapon.
