[[Decade weapon]]s are [[unique]] weapons which all have an inherent bonus during events (e.g. "Deals 20% additional damage during Festival events").

== Properties ==
All Decade weapons have one of these two modifiers:
* Martial weapons: deals 20% additional damage during Festival events
* Caster weapons: 20% chance to halve the casting time of spells during Festival events

Decade weapons released during the [[Tenth Year Anniversary Celebration|10th Anniversary Celebration]] (except for [[Decade Staff "Astral Pillar"]]) have one of the following two features:
* A unique combination of existing [[skin]]s, often with unusual attribute requirements (e.g. a mesmer wand with a sword skin, a pair of axes as an axe skin)
* A replicable skin, but with a unique particle effect on [[auto attack]]s (e.g. black particles for scythe, red ones for hammer).

Decade weapons released during the [[Anniversary Celebration|20th Anniversary Celebration]] have the following features:
* A skin that was previously only available via a [[bonus item|pre-order item]]
* A maximum value "[[of the (Profession)]]" modifier for a profession not associated with the item's base type
* A particle effect on auto-attacks in a color corresponding with the "of the (Profession)" modifier

==Acquisition==
Decade weapons can be acquired during the [[Anniversary Celebration]] from the [[Ancient Anniversary Weaponsmith]] in [[Embark Beach]] for 5 [[Proof of Legend|Proofs of Legend]].

==Notes==
*Decade weapons' damage property will count once, no matter how many different [[effect stacking]] requirements are met.
*Decade weapons are [[customized]] upon acquisition, so take care to purchase them on the character you wish to use them on. Which also makes them not tradeable.
*The inherent bonus effect during events is only active during certain events ([[Canthan New Year]], [[Anniversary Celebration]], [[Dragon Festival]], [[Wayfarer's Reverie]], [[Halloween]], and [[Wintersday]]).
*The appearance of Decade weapons is not changed when under the effects of a [[weapon spell]], except wands and staves released during the 10th Anniversary Celebration.

==Trivia==
*Decade weapons, as their name implies, were added during the 10th and 20th [[Anniversary Celebration]]s.
{{Quotation|[[Feedback talk:Joe Kimmes#Decade & Balthazar weapons|Joe Kimmes]]|''There originally was a Decade Shield; it was cut for a couple reasons. 1: the shield would have needed a unique festival-based mod, whereas the martial and caster weapons already have them. 2: the shield would have been able to stack with the existing 1-hand Decade weapons, increasing their total effectiveness (during festivals).''}}
