Can the Arsenal of War achievement be unlocked on Rookgaard?

Question

Without using items brought from mainland, is it possible for a character in Rookgaard to unlock the Arsenal of War Achievement?

Answer 1

Considering the question and the restrictions mentioned, in an ideal world without bugs, it would not be possible to obtain this achievement with only weapons obtained in Rookgaard, but there is some caveats (in the end). Let's analyze it:

Which weapons can be obtained in Rookgaard:

• Wooden Sword (old servers, was a starter item)
• Club (starter item, boss drop)
• Combat Knife (quest)
• Dagger (creature drop)
• Knife (boss drop)
• Machete (creature drop)
• Rapier (quest)
• Carlin Sword (quest)
• Katana (quest)
• Sabre (creature drop)
• Short Sword (creature drop)
• Sword (creature drop, quest)
• Axe (creature drop)
• Hand Axe (creature drop)
• Hatchet (creature drop)
• Bone Club (creature drop)
• Mace (creature drop)
• Scythe (npc trade)
• Studded Club (creature drop)
• Bow (blind orc trade)
• Spear (creature drop)
• Small Stone (creature drop)

So, considering only the weapons mentioned, we will only have a total of 22/50 weapons with mastery, which is insufficient. There are some caveats that may even change the answer to this question:

• If a player obtains the achievement in MainLand and then kills their character until Rook, they will retain the achievement. (Cipsoft has already mentioned that this loophole in relation to achievements is not treated as a bug, much to the dismay of achievement lovers).
• If you want to get the message for the Arsenal of War achievement in Rookgaard, you can partially advance in weapon mastery and leave less than 22 weapons to complete the 50. With the Rookgaard weapons and the Rookgaard creatures completing the rest. I've tested, and the progress on weapon proficiency is NOT lost when the character is sent to Rookgaard due to multiple deaths.
