Damage

Damage (also called weapon damage) is the hidden stat that sets how hard your melee and bow hits are. Almost all of it comes from the weapon you hold; it isn't shown in your stat menu, and it isn't the same as the number a hit deals.¹ Every player starts with 0.¹

It is the base of the melee and bow formula, which adds 5 to it before Strength and Crit Damage multiply it:²

Hit = (5 + Damage) × (1 + Strength ÷ 100) × (1 + Crit Damage ÷ 100 on a critical hit)

Example: a weapon with 100 Damage and no Strength: 5 + 100 = 105 per normal hit.

Apart from weapons, it also comes from arrows and from Hot Potato Books applied to a weapon.¹ The tables below list every item, pet and reforge that gives it.³
