Weapons found in Vagrant Story fall into one of ten categories, called Designs for the purpose of this guide. The categories each have a section here, in alphabetical order. The individual weapons within that category are arranged by Attack (STR), from weakest to strongest. The levels of weapon Designs, from weak to strong, are called Tiers for the purpose of this guide.
• Mace • Axe • Crossbow • Dagger • • Great Axe • Great Sword • Heavy Mace • Polearm • Staff • Sword • |
---|
The results of Combinations of the eight weapons of the Mace Design with all of the 90 weapons in Vagrant Story are shown here. A combination of a weapon Design of a particular Tier with one of the same Design and Tier results in either that same weapon, in most cases, and the next higher Tier, in the case of end-Tier weapons, but the Affinities and Classes of the ingredients are combined. For more on the effect of combinations on Affinities and Classes, see Combine in Vagrant Story.

Blades[]
Axe and Mace[]
Axes and Maces are very similar in use; chopping and hammering are similar actions with different effects. They both have short handles. They are lumped together in the ingame item description. Their damage leapfrogs in early levels. For the purposes of Break Arts, they are most definitely the same weapon. This has lead some guides to group them together in Combinations tables.
However, they follow the patterns of different-design combinations and do not follow the patterns of same-design combinations; in these significant ways, they are different Designs for the purposes of Combinations. Every other two weapons of the same Design of consecutive Tiers will create the next consecutive Tier; Axes and Maces do not, with rare exceptions. Every other two separate weapon Designs have combinations between weapons of different Tiers that 'devolve' the higher Tier into the same Design of a lower Tier than either weapon; this, Axes and Maces do.

Reverse the ingredients to get Shamanic Staff. Double Blade first slot + Bec de Corbin makes Mjolnir, the reverse yields Gloomwing.

Sword with Mace[]
Maces combined with swords may make Great Axe or Staff morphs.
Maces are a separate design from Axe for the purposes of Combine; see Axe and Mace.
Axes, Maces and Swords are fairly easy to find in at least HAGANE in the midgame. As in most roleplaying games, they are overpowered in comparison with two handed weapons, offering nearly as much damage and superior defense by allowing shield use. Consider using high-damage two handed weapons anytime Ashley can kill before much damage is dealt, though, especially when farming for drops.
Mprphs are Staff, Great Axe and Heavy Mace
