A weapon is an item whose primary purpose is to deal damage . Base weapons each have innate properties such as damage, critical strike chance, speed, and requirements. Sometimes they come with special modifiers such as a wand's increased spell damage. Magic , Rare , and Unique weapons come with modifiers from the Prefix and Suffix . Mods can give bonuses to the weapon or to the exile wielding it. Weapons are split into eight different categories.
