Flamberge. I was always surprised to see an archer pull one out of his ass.

Archers tend to have alot of free space back their i would n ´t be surprised if a flamberge would fit

Cudgel.

Cudgel kills are most satisfying.

The Cudgel is actually a good weapon if you use it 2-handed. With enough PS you can kill most enemys with it even without wpf. And there's no upkeep at all.

No, they usually stick their second quiver up their ass...

My 3+ Mace is doing a great job.

This is the most effective 1-slot melee weapon for 0-ps and 1-wpf users.

I'd say at least 3/4ths of archers use this.

I would say so too. Its a very handy weapon. Good blunt damage with knockdown. Only problem is its reach since its pretty short buts its very good as a 1 slot weapon.

If you want to be a hipster or dislike the mace use a military sickle or something along those lines.

reach-use 2h animation, makes it longer then we think

I rock the Hammer.... Why because theres nothing else You can use with a mw rus bow exept a crappy hatchet or a long dagger you cant block with lol

[Miley]

German Poleaxe, Two Handed Sword, Elite Scimitar, Iron Staff, Flamberge, Battle Fork, Bar Mace... oh wait that was a year ago

My next archerbuild will use the Shortened spear as sidearm.

Well this kinda depends on the builds, personal taste, etc.

If you check the forum part of the Archer Guides you have a couple of great suggestions regarding this issue.

Personally since I use an hybrid build with a 2 slot bow:

> If I'm using 2 quivers:

 . Hammer: 0 slots, blunt damage, knockdown (like, the most important thing, mmk?);
 . Pickaxe: 0 slots, pierce damage. (a bit more lengthier than the hammer, but even so still small as hell)

> If I'm with 1h wpf and 1 quiver:

 . Military Pick: 1 slots, pierce damage and blunt damage on secondary mode, 98 speed, 70 length, medium price.
 . Iberian Mace: 1 slots, blunt damage, knockdown (!!), 97 speed, 71 length, medium price.
 . Military Hammer: 1 slots, blunt damage, knockdown (!!), 94 speed, 80 length, medium price.
 . Warhammer: 1 slots, blunt swing damage, pierce stab damage, secondary mode with pierce swing damage, knockdown (!!), 97 speed, 65 length, high end price.

> If I'm using 2h wpf and 1 quiver:

 . Mace: 1 slots, blunt damage, 98 speed, 70 length, knockdown (!!), low/medium price.
 (don't see any reason to use other weapon as a 2h wpf user.)


Dunno if I forgot something, cheers.

PS: Forgot to mention that pure archery is gay, so sorry!

I have 48 wpf, so, scottish short sword or italian falchion.

If I'm not expecting mellee a nomad sabre just for looks.

Pickaxe: 0 slots, pierce damage. (a bit more lengthier than the hammer, but even so still small as hell) does the 2nd mode for it give u knock down? cuz other 2nd modes do
