Ok, so as a general rule, Piercing weapons are small quick weapons, and normal are decent/slow weapons with a lot of damage. So what if we got a Piercing, heavy weapon, and a Swift, weak weapon. Here they are...
NOTE: These are three star starting weapons.

Talon Club:
A large, troika looking weapon, covered in barbs. It does piercing damage, with a similar damage output to this weapon (http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Twisted_Snarble_Barb ), and the speed of this weapon (http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Sealed_Sword ).

Just selling a Volcanic Halo. Message me below (not in-game) on what you offer.
Auction Ends: Monday 21 October, 20:30pm GMT!

Volcanic Halo

Current Offer: 750kcr from Ringhioshock (Looking for around 10kce + or 800kcr +)
Buyout Price: Suprise Me!

I do accept item-trades (if it is pointed in my favor) but prefer E and CR over it.
If I find a good enough offer on the Halo, I will take it.
Bids/Current Offers must go up by 500 Energy or 50kcr each time (or more) somebody bids/offers on it.
If anyone pays buyout price, it will be reserved for them.

From the very beginning, I could never understand the exorbitant prices of the Bazaar vendors. I mean, why would the game designers want to create bad feelings with the new players by ripping them off like that?

Let’s use a 2* Brandish sword as an example.

Before the Auction House was introduced into the game, there were three ways you could get this sword: 1) buy one from another player through trade chat, 2) craft one yourself, 3) buy one from the Bazaar vendor.

Option one could be done for about 1,000-2,000 crowns.

An army of gremlins sat huddled behind sandbag barriers as Sentenza rounds whizzed over their heads. Sickness was rampant in the gremlin camp, and there was a quickly-expanding pile of dead bodies behind it. The knights weren't faring much better; many of them were suffering from third-degree burns inflicted by gremlin scorchers, and countless others were shredded and shattered by the vicious rocket-hammers of vengeful thwackers.

STORY

The Clockworks is now more dangerous than ever. Numerous monsters have evolved and adapted to the Knights, requiring increasingly advanced skills and powerful equipment to defeat. Worse, the Swarm has worked its way up the Clockworks to the highest depths, now posing a threat to all of Cradle if it is not stopped. The Crimson Order has taken advantage of the chaos to launch a massive assault against the Spiral Order, not caring that its own forces are being consumed by the Swarm.
