Yes it was meant that levelable weapons take a lot of effort to max out. Kinda the weapon equivalent of biopets.

If you look at it logically, holding a weapon in your hand and casting spells shouldn't really do the weapon any good. But using the weapon and killing a monster should.

Yep it says under wiki page that spells should not level your weapon. I was amazed when i found out that i could level my weapon with Volcanic... It was a very boring way of doing it and i prefer the old sword and board method.

Druid isn't completely useless like everyone is saying... I still use my trees to keep my mana up to full so i can spam weapon attacks.

Even if you have level 80 swords of prosperity with all spell damage and faster related stuff its not a complete waste, once you hit level 100 you dont have to swing the swords any more.

Yes, it now registers damage given on such events as "hit fireball" as well as "fire area".
Also it now registers how much damage you did with a weapon, as well as how much with spells. So you can for example do most of the damage using the weapon, and then do the final blow with a spell, and you'll still get most of the exp you'd get if you were to kill it with a weapon. And another example, you can get it down with spells to 1% health, but if you kill it with a weapon you will only be given 1% of the exp you'd normally get.

Very nice thanks for clearing it up for me :D

Chroma you know I like you but was this comment really appropriate? not everyone that plays here has english as a first language. That and some are children that are just trying. Give them a break.

And you're communicating with people through text, which is the only way we can talk to you. Might be handy to keep that in mind.
