Elephant tusks function identically to any other melee weapon, despite their unorthodox method of production. They do not have a [[quality]] value - all elephant tusks are statistically identical. | Elephant tusks function identically to any other melee weapon, despite their unorthodox method of production.

| − | An elephant tusk is a | + | An elephant tusk is a good choice for a early melee weapons. It requires no crafting, and it has no [[Quality]] value and is thus not reliant on skilled pawns. While it has a modest DPS, its AP is fairly high for the early game. It thus an effective choice until [[Research#Smithing|Smithing]] is researched and other alternatives become available. Potentially longer, if a death of skilled crafters or materials is experienced. The primary difficulty comes in killing an elephant in the early game, but the [[elephant leather|hardy leather]] and large amount of meat make it a valuable feat if it can be accomplished. |
| − | + | '''''Note''''': If hunting an elephant proves difficult or prohibitively dangerous, elephants have a 0% manhunting chance on a failed taming attempt. Slaughtering a tamed elephant will still produce both tusks, along with additional meat/leather. Taming elephants requires an animal skill of 5. Only a full adult tame elephant will produce tusks when slaughtered. All wild elephants are considered full adults. | |
| − | + | After the early game, the practical value of the tusk goes down as more effective weapons become available, but it still acts a free bonus to hunting or slaughtering elephants. | |
