Holy Weapon/Bless Weapon

Rooella's picture

It's that time of the week when we pry Mistryl for the good stuff!

This week we asked a question sent to us from a Lineage gamer:

According to fan sites, holy weapon adds a +1 hit bonus and +1 damage bonus including additional damage to undead, enchant weapon adds only +2 damage bonus... bless weapon adds +2 hit bonus and +2 damage bonus. Is the above true? One blood pledge member holds that bless weapon only gives the additional +2 hit bonus only to undead. Is that correct or does it apply to specific monsters?

Online Manual

Mistryl's picture

The Online Manual on the official Lineage web site is a great resource for finding information about specific spells. According to the Magic Compendium, those spells currently have these effects:

Holy Weapon: Grants +1 melee-only Hit Bonus and +1 melee-only Damage Bonus to target's currently-equipped weapon against "undead" NPCs for the duration of the spell; effect disappears when restarting.

Enchant Weapon: Grants +2 melee-only Damage Bonus to target weapon for the duration of the spell; damage effectiveness will be impacted by the elemental resistance of the enemy target. Effect disappears when restarting.

Bless Weapon: Grants +2 melee-only Hit Bonus and +2 melee-only Damage Bonus to target's currently-equipped weapon for the duration of the spell; effect disappears when restarting.

As the Manual states, the bonuses for Bless Weapon apply to any monster.


Enchant Weapon: Grants +2

Enchant Weapon: Grants +2 melee-only Damage Bonus to target weapon for the duration of the spell; damage effectiveness will be impacted by the elemental resistance of the enemy target. Effect disappears when restarting.

...Hey now, Elemental Resistance? Enchant Weapon is a neutral spell... I'm wondering how Elemental Resistance has anything to do with it.


If all the spells are melee

If all the spells are melee only. Then is it worthless when yielding a bow. And btw It doesnt last till u restart. Actually it lasts for 1800 secs in game time. Coz I have checked this when huntin 2X flrs. I will poly cast all spells and chk the duration of all the spells. After we skin/dex/str disappears bless/holy/enchant spells too disappears and I get the message that it lost the glow in chat window. Correct me if I am wrong

Happy Hunting!!

i dont think bless weapon is

i dont think bless weapon is melee only cuz there is a difference i think with a bow using and without using bless weapon thats just my thought


I always wondered about

I always wondered about blessing a bow....
How can it effect the arrows coming out of it?.....
But then, my Sayha has + this and that......
So, nvm.....or I dunno.....


I can tell a difference when

I can tell a difference when using bless weapon on Bows to. But not holy/enchant weapon.

Additionally... This is wrong. How are we supposed to believe yall, and the information you give us, when you give us wrong information about some of the most basic things in game?
Bless Weapon: Grants +2 melee-only Hit Bonus and +2 melee-only Damage Bonus to target's currently-equipped weapon for the duration of the spell; effect disappears when restarting.

The only effect that disappears when you restart is the + to hit. The + to damage remains after restart. Always has. This is evident when you ID the weapon, even after restarting, and the weapon still says (+2) in the ID. And even after restarting, 30min after casting the spell, you get the 'Your xxxx has returned to normal'

Got Blog?


Another thing from the

Another thing from the lineage.com help is... Berzerkers...
~~ Grants +5 Damage Bonus and -10 AC penalty to target for the duration of the spell; effect also inhibits the target’s natural health regeneration for the duration. ~~

Notice, that unlike the three above mentioned enchants, that say 'Melee only' this does not specify.

This does in fact give +5damage to magic attacks. I am not sure if it gives +5damage to bow attacks.

Got Blog?
