This means that it is often not necessary to invest weapon points in polearms if it is just for the use of lances, as it rises rather quickly anyway. The more damage that is dealt with a weapon, the more experience the player earns towards that weapon's proficiency therefore it may be a good option to couch lances as often as possible if the player uses one, as it can do massive amounts of damage. It is also possible to benefit more from a single attack if the attack was particularly difficult or damaging. Proficiency increases more quickly when fighting higher level opponents and slower when fighting lower level opponents, in addition to other factors. The Weapon Master skill increases the rate at which proficiency points are earned, and raises the spending cap on all proficiencies.

Increased Accuracy (when using a ranged weapon)ДЄll results are gradual and may need as many as 50 points in a proficiency to see a notable difference, though results are much more noticeable while proficiency is still low.

Increased Damage (when using a melee weapon or a ranged weapon if it benefits from Power Draw/Throw skill).

Increasing weapon proficiencies will result in: Your character will gain experience towards the weapon they are using (bare hands/fists do not have a related Proficiency and therefore do not contribute to proficiency progression). Proficiencies can be leveled anywhere that combat (or combat training) occurs. The higher the proficiency skill, the more points one will have to spend. This amount varies based on how high your Weapon Master skill is. If that skill was 380, the player might need to spend between 10 and 16 Proficiency Points to increase the proficiency by one point. For example, to increase the One-Handed Proficiency by one point when it is at 20 would take one Proficiency Point. The proficiency cap progression starts at 60 (for a Weapon Master skill of 0) and the cap increases by 40 points for each additional point of Weapon Master skill.Д«ear in mind that the higher the Proficiency is, the more Proficiency Points are needed to raise it further. Each point of Weapon Master increases the standard proficiency limit. The cap does not prevent increases earned through actual use. The Weapon Master skill level imposes a cap on all the proficiencies, restricting how these points can be spent. Though this is done a lot early in the game when a character's proficiencies are very low, at points over 350, it becomes uncommon. However, one can go over 699 by using a weapon very, very often, and for a long time, until finally the game will automatically increase the weapon proficiency by 1 during a fight.

The maximum level for any weapon proficiency is 699, where points cannot be added to a weapon proficiency anymore. The other is to spend Proficiency Points gained upon level-up on the proficiency of your choice. One is to simply use the weapon in combat, and over time your skill with it will increase as you hit enemies with it. Proficiencies can be increased in two ways. It also improves the weapon's attack speed. Increasing your proficiencies allows the character to deal more damage with a melee weapon, and use ranged weapons more accurately. Weapon proficiency is the skill you use for any weapon. Firearms replace Crossbows in With Fire & Sword, but function in the same way. Using a weapon will increase its related proficiency.Д¬ertain throwing weapons can be used in melee in Warband these weapons are usually weak in melee with a very short reach compared to their dedicated melee counterparts. Polearms can be one- or two-handed but are considered their own weapon class. The three melee proficiencies covers the use of swords, axes, spears, maces, etc. Crossbows (or Firearms in With Fire & Sword).Weapon Proficiencies are the player's ability to use specific weapons.
