Thought about doing some tests, I heard club and knife are this class preferred skills, but what about the other weapons?
At level 9, human with 10 dex, 8 str i had these first results from skill 0 and one Zhou class (10 minutes of rats and zombies in hunted ship)
Knife - poor bronze knife self forged for me (should eval ps): final skill 8 Shortsword -poor bronze shortsword as above: final skill 3
so, at first impression: shortsword is not a good choice for a ficer (as if it'd be for any other class... hehe)
I'll try more soon, but everyone is welcome to add to this thread.
PS i know, my craftsman sucks! (was going to try axe and flail but ended with bronze blobs too many times...)

follow up
longsword just raised to a puny 2
axe barely made it to 3
so for now it seems (from best to worst skill raising) (club - raised at lower level so out of 'proper' test), knife, shortsword, axe, longsword
as far as damage goes, longsword is first though and knife last: only 2 rats and a zombie killed in 10 minutes with knife... but that was almost obvious. Axe and shortsword at that level are on a par damage wise.

Last update (I hit level 10 and ship is off limit)
flail went up to 3, a bit better than axe.
staff turned out awful. Only 1 skill gained with self forged staff (2handed). I then took a second session at zhou with a self made wand (1handed staff) and got 2 skills more. The damage made is not bad.
Bottom line: staff is probably the best choice after club, in particular for spellcrafters, so then wands become useful also as melee weapons.
Final note:
I didn't took into consideration mms/archery/thrown weapons because of the lack of zhou training (xbow at 0 skill is probably worth a laugh). I read mms goes up quite fast for 'ficers and thrown weapon is a must if one plans to play with acid/fire bombs.

Have you tried Curved Blade? It raises quite well for Ficers as well. My personal rankings are club, mms, and curved blade. That being said my spellie doesn't use anything but forged wands, so I should probably raise staff.

Good call, Loch!
curved blade (self forged sabre) went up to 5
also the damage is interesting (6 orcs and 2 goblins down in dalair)
so it's definitely the way to go for a change (after club and staff/wand that remain class favorite and necessary for spellies).
Now i'm curious about rapier... even if without parry/riposte it's not an interesting weapon per se.

can we get all of these updates in one, concise posts instead of updates every skill?

There needs to be another AA forum. Called something classy, like 'the non circlejerk AA forum' or something.
It'd be about AA!

so then the population can get stagnant, all the cool people would leave, and the people who are still left (see: levek, notakunt, etc) would now think they are the cool people? hell, that would be like aa!
