What is the most cost effective polearm under 7k gold?

Long spear is best spear. Just started using that bad boy.

Once GODDAMNSAMUELLJACKSON is at a high enough level, the pike's coming out. Huehueahea.

The butthurt the Pike causes is truly glorious.

Long Bardiche is pretty nice. Good length, cut damage, bonus against shields, pierce thrust for rearing horses. I'm also a big fan of the Long Axe, great dueling polearm, and the Military Scythe is a very nice middle ground between Scythe and Glaive.

Agreed, long bardiche is one of my favorite polearm weapons, and it's just under 7k, seems way underpriced, love the damage and the 140 length.

Thanks for the responses, never thought of giving that old bardiche a try.

Long Bardiche can't rear horses because it's only 140 reach. Needs to be 141 or greater, like the Poleaxe.

Oh damn, that's a bummer.

Longspear, light lance, long bardiche. All are AMAZING footman polearms for any class. (Pikeman, hoplite, 2h wolololo respectively)

Quarter Staff, everyone is wrong but me!

Light lance Faster  and stronger than bamboo and legit use on horse + couch. Great for horse thieves

Shorter, though. Bamboo fills a very special niche: longest 2 slot anti-cav weapon for infantry. A good weapon nonetheless, but their uses are different.

Quarterstaff is winner here. Good length + knockdown

Yes but it still have enough lenght to be used as second line support weapon.

I think I've seen people rear horses with them before on NA1.

It did back when I used it, but they changed the rear requirement to 141 length a couple patches ago. It does so much damage you can one-shot most horses with a right swing anyway. Long Bardiche does about 15-20% more damage than a Poleaxe on swings, while costing almost half. And you still get an adequate thrust attack (it's not deadly like on the poleaxe, but still a good change of pace).

Short spear.

"Spear" spear.
