About Your Champion Weapon:

When do I get my Champion Weapon?

To obtain your Champion Weapon you may follow two different paths.

First, if you do the Champion Quests, you get it at the beginning of Chapter 3 (NOT at the end of Chapter 2, a level 40 quest). It is just the weapon with no /USE or /USE2 abilities. Once you defeat the Circle of Five, the /USE ability is unlocked. After you finish the last fight with the demon lord, it is fully unlocked with the /USE2 ability.

The alternative is to grind your way through Champion Levels until you reach CL 5. At that point the King grants it, completely unlocked.

What are the stats on Champion Weapons?

The Camelot Herald has a great list.

What do you mean "unlock"?

When you first get the weapon, if going the quest route, it has no abilities other than the standard ones. It will get useful tricks as you progress. If grinding, it comes with those powers the second you get it at CL 5.

Do I get a choice in it's type and abilities?

Every type of weapon your class can use at level 49 is an option, with the regretable omissions of crossbows, throwing daggers, short bows, and shields. You also recieve two different options for the /USE2 ability. The Royal Illuminator can provide you with a description.

At Champion Level 3, I get the ability to use any simple weapon and small shield in my realm. Does this mean more Champion Weapon options?

No. That is why I stated any weapon your class can use at level 49.

Should I quest or grind?

Quest. Unless you just can't stand PvE, questing is the best way to get your Champion Weapon AND get Champion Levels.

Can I have more than one at a time?

No, you can not have more than one Champion Weapon at a time. This means if you picked the offhand type, you will still need to look elsewhere for a main hand weapon. The same is true if you are an archer, or are looking for multiple damage types.

Can I trade in my Champion Weapon?

Yes, any time you want. FOR FREE! Just make sure it is fully repaired and give it back to the Weaponmaster in the throne room.
