A metal bar is a material required in metalworking and an improvised short blunt weapon.
Usage
Metal bars are required in constructing metal bar barricades and metal wall frames. This barricade provides a strong transparent structure that can be put on windows and doors.
Weapon
The metal bar can hit up to 2 enemies at a time (with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 1.1 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.2 tiles away at an attack speed of 0.95.
Condition
The metal bar has a maximum condition of 8. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (15 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blunt skills.
| Maintenance skill | Weapon skill | Durability lower chance |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/15 (7%) |
| 0 | 4 | 1/17 (6%) |
| 0 | 8 | 1/19 (5%) |
| 4 | 0 | 1/19 (5%) |
| 8 | 0 | 1/23 (4%) |
| 4 | 4 | 1/21 (5%) |
| 4 | 8 | 1/23 (4%) |
| 8 | 8 | 1/27 (4%) |
| 10 | 10 | 1/29 (3%) |
