New Weapon Type Revealed?

I have posted this once in a thread, but I was told to make this its own thread, so here:


Perhaps there was already a thread covering this topic and I simply missed it, or this might have been a casualty of the 9/7 wipe, but I decided to make a thread about it because it has me very curious. In the Gavel Teaser, shortly after the words "New Items" appeared on-screen, a player walked by wielding a Wolverine-esque weapon. This was curious enough as it was, but it also matches a photo tweeted by the Wynncraft Twitter page captioned "Soon." What I would like to know is what exactly this item is. Grian-Senpai has stated that they will not be adding new classes in the Gavel update, however, I find it difficult to think of what else this could potentially be. The assassin weapon is clearly named "Dagger" so it should not be the new texture for assassin weapons, as it does not resemble a Dagger in any way. I would like other people's ideas as to what this is if this is still unknown, or if it is already known, I would like to know what exactly this is.

(Until proven wrong, I would like to believe that Grian-Senpai lied about no new classes being added to surprise everyone with this, even if this is very unlikely. The main reason I think this is because the artwork photo has the same current release date of Fall, plus the same enigmatic release date as Gavel, "Soon." :3)

 

Let me respond to your question with another question:
Do you really want daggers to be the only weapon to Assassins?

 

1. I don't play assassins, so my opinion on this is invalid and worth very little.
2. If this would mean that every other class also gets a new weapon, then I would be pleased with that result as well. (Yes I am aware of the Hammer in the picture, I meant to include another point about whether or not these were perhaps unique textures for legendary weapons, but it slipped my mind to do so.)

 

1. Each class has only one weapon in the default Minecraft texture. Archer has bow, Warrior has spear (shovel), Mage has wand (stick), and Assassin has dagger (shears). When it comes to names, it's just the same old boring texture for each "weapon" you get, which leads to:

2. The Official Wynncraft Resource Pack, which will come out with the Gavel Update, now has a lot of custom weapons for each class. This adds creative variety to the classes, so you won't be bored with the same dull skin each time you get a new weapon.

 

It is still an assassin weapon. Just because the weapon is different in style doesn't mean it is from another class. One example is the Butcher's Cle(a)ver. Cleavers aren't the same as daggers, but they're still an assassin item. Hope this helps.

 

Yes, this is what I meant when I said "unique textures for legendary weapons"
Sorry if you made the response before I added that. It was actually supposed to be in the main post. But this just seems really "out there" for an assassin weapon. Don't misunderstand, it's awesome, I just generally see claw weapons more with Thieves and Martial Artists than I do in Assassins.

Yes but Cleavers and Daggers are both knives and not giant, electrified gauntlets XD
But I can see where you are coming from there. I did think of that, and if that is the case, I can't wait to see all of the diversity that will be present in Gavel.

 

From what it seems currently, all weapons will have unique textures, legendary or not. End texture discrimination!

 

Indeed XD
I like that every weapon may possibly be different. I was half expecting like almost every weapon to be the same texture, just 3D. If this is the new approach to the 3D weapons, then I truly can't wait for Gavel :D

I am slightly disappointed that it isn't a Martial Artist class or something though, because that would be amazing :3

 

well what about that hammer.... no class uses a hammer......

 

Let's keep on ignoring the far more prominent GIANT HAMMER THAT NO CLASS USES

 

Triple the stabing!

 

I believe that each class now has sort of sub-weapon. Heres what I can gather:
Claws, Dagger = Assassin
Hammer, Spear = Warrior
(Staff)???, Wand = Mage
???, Bow = Archer

 

Arhcer's probably gonna be a longbow

 

I honestly could care less if it was a new class, BECAUSE AT LEAST IT HAS CLAWS!!!! <3
I love it immediately <3

 

Crossbow perhaps?

 

hmm never thought of that!

 

This has been brought up already, sir :p
