Swords are a common weapon that has appeared in a lot of media prior to Hytale's release. They appear to have a mid-range speed when attacking. They've also been shown to have different positions they can be angled at - the functionality of which is currently unknown.

Spears have been shown in several clips and images from the Hytale team. They are unique in their ability to function both as melee weapons and ranged weapons, striking in melee and being able to be thrown from a distance.

Spears have been shown to stick into blocks like targets when thrown.
