The ikwa is a neolithic melee weapon that deals heavy stabbing damage.

Acquisition[edit]

Ikwas can be crafted at a fueled smithy or electric smithy once the Smithing research project has been completed. Each requires Stuff 50 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 500 for SVMs), 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter and the work to make factor of the material, and a crafting skill of 3.

Analysis[edit]

Ikwa are strictly inferior to the gladius, which deals more damage, has more AP, and attacks just as fast, for the exact same material and research cost. While an ikwa's mid-tier damage types include Blunt and Poke (gladius only has Blunt), this has no functional difference. The only advantage of the ikwa is that tribal raiders may wield them, which industrial colonies can smelt back into steel.

If you obtain one before Smithing is unlocked, ikwa are weaker for DPS than even a knife of the same material and quality, after accounting for the melee verb system. The ikwa is ever so slightly better against armor, but most (if not all) enemies won't carry any remotely heavy armor during the time you're using an ikwa.

    1. Jump up to: 1.0 1.1 Note: This is the actual base average derived from the melee verb system updated in 1.1.2610, it may sometimes disagree with the listed value in the in-game infobox.
      It may also change depending on the stats and the melee verbs available to the wielder if the weapon is wielded by some other than a baseline human.
    2. Chance for attack to be selected, assuming the weapon is wielded by a baseline human. It may change depending on the melee verbs available to the wielder

    Trivia[edit]

    Unlike the other melee weapons, the ikwa doesn't exist in real life with the same name; the real life equivalent of the ikwa is the iklwa.
