Which weapon suits each class?
Sword — Swordsman. Staff — Mage or Monk. Dagger — Thief. Bow — Archer. A matching weapon type does not trigger the class mismatch penalty.

Weapons and equipment penalties
You can equip a weapon intended for another class, but it comes with a penalty to your stats. The penalty itself does not deal direct damage or remove HP.
Mismatched weapon penalties
Accuracy and evasion decrease by 15%. Critical chance and attack speed decrease by 15%. Attack range and movement speed decrease by 10%. These are relative reductions: for example, a 20% critical chance becomes 17%, not 5%.
When does the penalty apply?
The penalty is calculated from equipped items and applied to your final stats. Simply carrying a mismatched weapon in your inventory does not trigger it; the weapon must be equipped. The server also checks and recalculates these penalties.
Equipment grade matters too
A separate penalty applies when equipped gear has a higher grade than your level allows. This includes armor. Grade penalties use different values from weapon type penalties. To avoid both, choose weapons that match your class and gear of an appropriate grade.
