Notes

• A Raw weapon's base attack value becomes higher at the cost of its Strength / Dexterity scaling property becoming lower. As such, Raw weapons are more powerful in the early game or for characters with relatively low Strength / Dexterity stats.

• Raw weapons can be enchanted with Magic Weapon, Great Magic Weapon, Crystal Magic Weapon, Hidden Weapon, Sunlight Blade and Darkmoon Blade.

• Raw weapons can be buffed with Charcoal Pine Resin, Gold Pine Resin and Rotten Pine Resin.
