SA for Every Weapon: Table by Grade and Crystal
Which crystal you need and which SA it gives
A reference table of Special Abilities for every weapon, based on l2db.ru. The data is based on C3 and partly on C4; the authors warned that new C4 information - especially which crystal color gives which SA - was unreliable at the time of publication. General rules for adding SAs and raising crystals are in Weapon Special Abilities (SA).
How to read the tables
- Cr. - the Soul Crystal level needed to add the SA ("?" - not given in the source).
- The Red, Green and Blue columns show the SA given by a crystal of that color. The bonus value is in brackets (for Focus and Critical Damage it is the bonus amount, for Haste and chance-based SAs it is a percentage).
- [C4] marks a weapon or SA set added in C4.
- Good magic means all buffs and heals; bad (harmful) magic means damage spells and debuffs (Dryad Root, Curse and so on).
- Within one crystal level, weapons are sorted by P.Atk: magic weapons first, the highest P.Atk last.
Weapon types
- Sword - one-handed sword. Sword mastery skills go to all tanks, the Gladiator, Swordsinger and Destroyer; but the Destroyer cannot stun with swords and prefers blunt weapons.
- Twohander - two-handed sword. Only the Destroyer has special skills for it, but everyone who can use one-handed swords also gets bonuses for two-handed ones.
- Blunt - one-handed blunt weapon (axes, hammers, clubs). Mastery skills go to all tanks, the Gladiator, Swordsinger, Destroyer and all dwarves. The Warcryer, Overlord, Destroyer, Gladiator and dwarves can stun with blunt weapons.
- Staff - two-handed blunt weapon. All staves except the S-grade Dragon Hunter Axe are magic weapons with high M.Atk, low P.Atk and magic SAs, so only mystics use them (mystics get a general weapon mastery skill and are free to choose).
- Dagger - daggers for the Treasure Hunter, Plains Walker and Abyss Walker.
- Bow - bows for the Hawkeye, Silver Ranger and Phantom Ranger; some fighters carry a bow for ranged attacks.
- Fist Weapon - fist weapons for the Tyrant.
- Polearm - polearms for the Warlord, Destroyer and dwarves; fighters also carry a polearm for AoE attacks.
- Dual Sword - dual swords for the Gladiator and Bladedancer.

The Fist Blade really does need a level 6 crystal and the Knuckle Duster a level 8 one, even though the Fist Blade is considered the second-best fist weapon and, according to the original, deals more damage (the translator noted that the database gives the Knuckle Duster higher damage - perhaps something is mixed up in the original).
