[edit] Quarterstaff

The original NWN considers the quarterstaff a one-handed weapon, like a spear, meaning you get one attack for one swing of the weapon.

On Arelith, the quarterstaff was changed to Double Weapon, similar to exotic weapons like the Two-Bladed Sword, Dire Mace or Double Axe. Using a double weapon is the same as using two weapons (the off-hand is considered to be wielding a light weapon). You get two attacks for one swing of the weapon. Dual wielding means that you get extra attacks, but also suffer the penalties for wielding a double-sided weapon.

[edit] Weapon visuals guide

With essences:

• Standard Weapons with enhancement bonuses such as a +1, +2, +3, will all show an essence's effect.

• On Masterly Weapons visual effects will show up.

• The only essences to grant visual effects are +4 and +1d6.

• Acid, Cold, Electrical, Fire and Sonic will all grant visual effects to these weapons.

• Divine, Positive and Negative will not show any visual effects.

• Gloves will never show any visual effects.

For more information see the article about essences. Note that when an essence is applied on a weapon, all previous elemental damage bonuses will be removed from that weapon (Acid, Cold, Divine, Electrical, Fire, Negative, Positive, and Sonic). This is done to prevent stacking of effects from essences.

[edit] Level requirement guide

All items on Arelith have a level requirement you need to meet in order to use them. The required level is calculated based on the item's value. Below is a chart listing the required level for each weapon type, based on the value of the weapon.
