Halberds
Halberds are one of the most useful weapons in the game but, as is the case with nearly all that is most effective, are for members only. After completing the notoriously long Regicide quest , members are able to buy bronze, iron, steel, black, mithril, adamant, rune and dragon halberds from a store in the Tyras Camp. The basic halberds can be resold to people who have not completed the quest, but the quest must be completed to wield the dragon halberd .
Halberds are a two-handed weapon and very slow, but have a major advantage over other melee weapons in that they can attack an opponent two squares away including diagonal (where any other melee weapon can only reach any adjacent squares except diagonal ones) and even through and over obstacles such as fences and tables so the opponent cannot attack back. The dragon halberd's special raises accuracy and strength for one hit (+10% to slash attack bonus and +10% to strength bonus), and when used on a character that occupies more than one space (such as a Blue Dragon or Black Demon as opposed to a man), it hits twice in quick succesion. If there are three small monsters side by side, the special attack will hit them all once.
The slow and innaccurate attack leads to slower training, but not having to use food and being able to attack monsters that would normally be impossible is a definite advantage. The weapon is not used often in the wilderness as it is expensive, and its single advantage is useless as opponents just move away from you if you attack them through or over an obstacle.

Throwing knives
Throwing knives can be made of bronze, iron, steel, black (only dropped by Shadow Warriors and Imperial Guard), mithril, adamant, and rune. These weapons can also be made by players. They can be tipped with poison to increase lethality.
