FYI, Survival will not be starting tomorrow. Please don't post Survival questions to this news post, let's stay on (sword) point for the sorting. Thank you!

Glad to find out these are weapons LOL
I mostly went off what the item image looks like and what knowledge I do have of weapons (such as sporks are one handed swords) because the wearable overlays would stop loading after the first couple items. I realized nearing 250 that the subjectiveness of this should be very helpful.

Bats would be a club or blunt weapon. Maces are technically this too (their special trademark are the spikes on the end to inflict bleed damage), but not all blunt weapons are a mace! Your hammers, clubs, bats, maces and general heavy object used for whacking something over the head for blunt force trauma is going to be a blunt weapon.

thank you for this, I love to help!! I have to admit that it is a relief to read the comments and see I am not the only one with questions in regards to some items... phew! doing my best but things like, for example, a bat... is it a mace? I assumed so. Look forward to what you guys do with these categories --the Battle coliseum was due an update!! (such as being able to train all your pets with just one click, instead of going one by one as we have to right now) :)

Scepters are generally a staff, but if it looks short when held in the HA, like doesn't reach the ground, I'd call it more a wand. There was one scepter I listed as a wand because it looked more like one than a staff.

All of the items coming up either can be used in battle, or have some sort of 🤫 secret use. Usually they're old PVP items (like the potions....... you could throw them at a pet in PvP and change their color 🙃 why did I do that?!) -- just choose whatever feels right and we'll be able to pull out some useful information :D

Chinchilla
A suggestion. Instead of having "sword" as a category, maybe make it "blade" so the daggers and knives can go with them?
Also would a scepter be on handed staff or a wand? I've been doing one handed staff as most staffs are two handed.

Keith's not adding other categories right now since the sorting has started to keep things more organized, but more categories like that might be part of doing another round with another prize. In the meantime, the vibe is the thing and a lot of this is subjective anyway. Mistakes aren't going to count against people, we promise. This is for research purposes to improve projects in the future, not to punish people for giving us their time and effort (which we very much appreciate!)

Basically a greatsword or sword that would be determined as two-handed is going to have a long grip as opposed to a short sword. If it looks heavy, has a huge blade or a long grip, it's going to probably be a two-handed weapon in battle. Big clubs and hammers and double-sided axes are also going to be two-handed typically.

Kicak
@Snowwall - shields go under one-handed: shield imo. "Worn" category is not about whether a particular battle item doubles as a wearable. For example: a sword item may double as a wearable on the avatar, but it's a sword and goes into one/two handed sword category. And a chest-armor item may not double as a wearable on the avatar at all, but in theory it's an item meant to be worn and goes into "worn" category.

Is it possible to make the checkbox next to "Magical" darker, because I literally could not see it for like 10 minutes until I read comments and realized it was a checkbox NEXT to the title

I've been getting potions (like spectrum and sun). I don't think those are weapons, unless I'm wrong.
I also thought of some more categories:
powders (bottles of powder, sacks)
Rayguns
Talisman
Charms
Potions you drink (Pylonics)

We also need a blunt weapon category. Clubs, bats and hammers all fall under blunt force weaponry.

@Bliss
Basically we have a lot of weapons that don't fit the listed categories, which is just a slight oversight. Like, we have a lot of polearms, which include spears, glaives, halberds, pikes and lances. These are weapons that have excellent spacing, usually light enough to be one-handed, are usually fast. We have glove/clawing weapons that don't fit any category either.

Is it possible to get categories for daggers, knives, whips, scythes and magical weapons? I tried really hard to help and so far (I just want to help), I've done over 250. What happens if we try to help, but make mistakes? I'm not really concerned about the avatar border , but for those users who are--what happens if they tried and made mistakes? Do they get to keep the border?

Technically no. Daggers/knives are a short-range weapon that require up-close and personal type of combat. These are stabbing/thrust weapons typically, though not unusual to use slashing moves, but the idea is to stab as many times as possible quickly. A sword is different as it gives you some spacing, and is comfortably wielded as both thrust and slash. Katanas are a sword though, a specific kind of of course.

Basically if you're gonna pull from Dark Souls, pull every category of weapon. xD You could probably get away with not using ultra greatswords or katanas for categories, I'd just throw those types of weapons under 'greatsword' or 'sword'. Most shields are typically one-handed aside greatshields.
I'm not sure what this system is going to lead to, but if it's to incorporate more stats, it's certainly curious!

Also I assume by 'magical' does this mean elemental components? I'm a bit confused by this, but I assume it has to do more so with staves that do sorcery/magic damage.

This id fun! Kinda wish for choosing other, you could write in what you think something is. Like we have a lot of dagger/knife class weapons that function different to a sword. Same with spears.
Basically I love the dark Souls vibe of these classifications, but the categories could easily expand to more types to really make sure it is accurate!

I've a question, will this affect how we are allowed to use weapons in the future? I ask this because battling is already so optimized and hard to improve sets even at medium tiers, I cannot imagine what I would do if I couldn't, say, use the Forj Tempered Kusarigama and Replica Minotaur Knocker on the same turn.

because I forgot these exist:
I'd probably throw small/big crossbows with small/big guns
flamethrower, grenade launcher etc: big gun
chainsaw: OTHER
....frisbees, chakrams and boomerangs with other non-sword cutting or bludgeoning weapons respectively?

______- mace/hammer/nunchuck/morning star/axe etc
______- whip
______- orb
______- gun/slingshot
______- magic wand/staff (half your height or less)
______- OTHER
(NOTE:
- if it's a set of two it's 2 handed
- if it kinda looks one handed but it's on a /very/ long chain a la the kusarigama weapon it's probably 2 handed? idk discuss)
___- does it need both hands to use
______- big sword
______- big mace/hammer/morning star/battering ram/axe etc
______- big gun/slingshot/harpoon/catapult etc
______- halberd/polearm/spear/(wizard) staff
______- scythe (inherently 2 handed imo)
______- bow (inherently 2 handed imo)
______- PAIRED SET (see note above)
______- OTHER
- is this a shield (shield)
___(most are one handed but can keep the 2 handed distinction here for a couple rly massive ones)
- is this something you'd throw at an opponent (thrown)
___- bomb/potion/grenade/dart/throwing knife/arrow
- is this primarily on your body and not held (worn)
___- is it armor (helm/shoulders/chest etc)
___- is it an enchanted amulet/ring/trinket

What a nice way to help. Sometimes I forget what I was clicking on when a similar item was asked before, because of the amount of items. *laugh* But I'm happy to read that a fine-tuning for more categories is a option (and that I'm not the only one who which to have more categories). I don't see a plushie as weapon like 
(as long as it's not the 
). So it would be very helpful in future to think about more categories.
I just wonder how long we have the chance to help on this project? Will it open for 2-4 weeks? Shorter or longer? I would help as much as I can.

I think a category like "support" would be a good addition (for things like shrines and auras that surround the pet). Even if they do damage as well, they're not really weapons you wield in 1-2 hands or throw. Also something like "minion" (not that exact word maybe to avoid confusion with the other kinds of minions we have on site). There seem to be a lot of items that are just an animal/spirit you bring with you to battle. As mentioned by others there are some weapon types that pop up a lot, like daggers, that could use their own subcategory.
Also I think bows could just be available as 2-handed only and shields as 1-handed only. For regular bows you can't use them 1-handed, and most shields would be 1-handed (I guess you could have a really wide shield that requires 2 hands, but I don't know if we have an item like that and it would be an exception). Everything else seems like it could be both 1 or 2-handed, but bow/shield just seem like they never would. (Unless you're dual wielding shields :P). (Also, for 2-handed orbs, I've been putting the SubetaBalls there because mentally I think of them as having the size of basketballs).
I haven't been looking at the actual stats of any weapons, only considering the item/overlay art and name/description. I find it a bit hard to judge what is magical and not. It seems like almost everything could be magical. Are all elements magic? Then any weapon that does any damage aside from Physical would be magical. But to avoid classing everything as magic, I've been thinking that it should seem truly magical, and not just reference an element.

I had no idea that the Twilight Potion was a weapon. Neat.
Also, I want to second that I keep getting stuck debating myself on one- vs two-handed bows...Pretty sure all longbow-style bows should be 2-handers, though. Maybe small crossbows could be 1-handed.

Not a Weapon - For mistakes
And "Meteor Crossbow" is clearly a longbow. :P

we need a category for dagger/knives, whips, and scythes.
i'm also unsure how to differentiate between one-handed and two-handed weapons? do we go by the wardrobe overlay--where most weapons are held in one hand just due to the base--or whether the weapon is traditionally used with one or two hands in real life?
i am confusion.

So, is it "Worn" or "One Handed"?! "One-handed" can be a shield, while "Worn" cannot be...
Particulars aside, I would love an explanation as to what the five categories are meant to be. You know, for the non-battle-oriented folk who haven't the foggiest what is the difference between a potion and a bomb battle-wise and can only go by the look of the item?

And the sort page is so neat and organized too. Categories could use some additions (lances/spears, daggers, minion) but overall very relaxing. I love putting things into neat little (virtual) boxes~

@Kinky
You're not going to be docked for having an opinion, promise! Especially on matters of whether something is magical or not, or if you make a judgement call on the description rather than the overlay or vice versa. Even just putting something in the other>other category because you're just not sure about it is going to be all right.
@dude
Please don't feel bad for pinging me, I'm glad to help! You can put it in 'other' right now if you prefer, or you could put it in swords depending on how you feel about the length and classification. It's less about right or wrong. More the idea of if we were to make an opponent or an event in the future that used these categories, what helps with that experience? If a battle opponent or NPC had swords listed as an interest or item pool, what out of Subeta's battle items would you expect to see (or what would throw you out of immersion)?

just did a bunch of these. a couple big question marks I had every time: besides running into a lot of daggers that I wasn't sure whether to sort as swords or not, there were also a ton of whips and tridents that might merit their own category.
also, I feel like there's going to be a different approach by person whether to sort the brass knuckles by "worn" or not. same for the various claws, tails, etc. that are seemingly used as weapons but were...worn?...by the original animal it came from? and are also wearables on the avatar.
stars and shurikens aren't "thrown" in battle the same way you throw bombs & potions as part of the battle mechanics on subeta, but that also was a confusing element to decide on while I was sorting.
just some thoughts. I made my decisions based on what I thought the spirit of what y'all are asking for is but those were the big "wait...I'm confused" moments for me.

ok this is kind of relaxing ~
If you ever do this in the future for other things, I think it would be cool to be able to go through and sort a handful of items at once or be able to overlap categories (1 handed + wearable, for example).

I'm having some trouble with one handed vs two handed for some items, and it would be helpful if there was a "not a weapon" option (I used "other" when I got an Arid Potion even though it is a potion, I don't think that is really a weapon?). Trying my best to help out though, neat project! <3

This is so confusing 0_0 it has been a very long day and I am just not understanding this. I don't want to mess it up :(
It says "Please choose one (1) category and sub-category" So would that be making 2 selections? It will only let me click on one option.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am just trying to get it right.

There's no 'held' option for wearing? Also, dark matter; is that an aura? Are reborn weapons considered having an aura? Or no, because it's just part of the actual color? Are war hammers considered 'other' or 'maces' in this instance? I'm trying my hardest, but there's not enough options for what needs to be done, and not enough explanation ,I guess. Also, it seems to be only giving me the option to select ONE option for some of them. Like, some of the shields. They are shields, and worn, but I could only pick one option. I don't want to be docked for not being able to sort to the best of my abilities.

I second Cauld's question: the Dimensional Hammer is held in one hand in the overlay, because it's pretty hard to draw a two-handed weapon with how the HAs stand, but the length of the handle is definately for a two-handed grip. And I'll call it a mace, because a battle hammer is used for bashing?
Further explanation would be appreciated.

Under Worn > Armor could there maybe be an option for "Back"? There have been some things like wings and such that would fit better in a section like that instead of instead of just chest or shoulder I guess

Maybe a silly suggestion, but could the categories be organized alphabetically? I'm sure I'll have the order memorized eventually but it'd make it a little easier.

I think it might be nice to add a checkbox for "this really shouldnt be a weapon" if we're concerned about weapon bloat

Daggers/knives can go under Other or Sword, whatever... we'll take a look at the results and do any further sorting needed! As long as you're doing your best, it's all good.

How should daggers be categorized? I've been putting them under one-handed other currently since they're technically not swords.

Subeta briefly had a PvP battling option, and you could throw the potions at them. So thrown potion is the best bet for those.

Just came across 
and that is not a weapon at all. So all the other not weapons in weapon tier 0 are probably also still in the list.

@kuzi just my two cents, I'm going by the size, even if it's in one hand in the wearable, if it's gigantic I'm putting it as two handed, a lot of the wearables have the giant swords resting on the ground, so my guess is that it's 2 handed when wielded. They did say try your best D:??? I just don't think that giant sword is one handed plz

please consider adding a scythes category (also minion, knives and dagger as suggested below)

You can think of it aura and magical as an OR, not an AND, operator. You can also use the item description to make the choice. Whatever you decide, though, giving it thought and going with your gut works just fine!
@Luck
Yeah, that was an interesting one for me as well. There is an 'other' category, the last one to the right, as the last option for things you don't feel fit the other categories.
@Pandora
Oh, interesting! Thanks for the report, I'll put it in.

does the "one hand" / "two-hands" indicate that it is a wearable? for example, should 
, NOT a wearable, go in "one hand — sword", or "other — other"?

Also, I wish that dark mode new subeta's item hovers weren't white with white text. I have to stop and highlight just to read the descriptions.

One handed vs Two handed - is this based on the appearance of the wearable overlay?
Are weapons without wearable overlays also categorized under one handed/two handed?

Ey, right off the bat I am offered a weapon that has no proper category! It's a polearm/halberd/glaive/spear sort of deal and the closest is staff D:

@Rengar
You can also think of it as magic in general, magic and/or aura, and just generally go with your gut feeling or you can use the item description as a guide if you prefer.
@Shaman
As long as you're putting the good faith effort in, there are pretty much no wrong answers.
@Lanfan
If you check your achievements page, it'll show the number of items sorted as part of the red (before completion) counter under the Battle Item Sorter achievement.

Starting me off with a doozy, huh. Asking me to sort 
and glancing at the options and seeing actual types of weapons listed and I'm just like uhh, uhh..
I love the border though so I'll be trying my best :D

Maybe there should be a category for "not a weapon"? I just got a Spectrum Potion - unless Spectrum Potion is a weapon of some sort and I just didn't know haha

Interesting! For the magical question, does the followup of 'Does it have an aura?' mean we're only supposed to check Magical if it has a visible aura? Example of an item I'd consider magical but doesn't have a visible aura is Shinwas Heart Pendant, whose description says "This special pendant has amazing powers, and can only be purchased!" (But I'm not sure what to check since there is no aura)

So long as you aren't doing something like classifying everything that comes up in your sorting a sword when it's clearly (and we mean CLEARLY) something else just to get through the 250 clicks for the border, we promise you're fine. People are going to have different ideas on what something looks like or what it could be. We're also open to adding categories for fine-tuning because it's about getting peoples' honest impressions. Thank you for giving it a shot!
