'''Training weapons''' are [[Edge|edgeless]] [[Wood|wooden]] [[Weapon|weapons]] created at a [[carpenter's workshop]]. There are three kinds available; axes, spears, and swords.

−
[[Dwarves]] won't harm each other (or themselves) during [[combat drills]], or [[Training#Sparring_and_demonstration|sparring]] while using [[Metal|metal weapons]], so training weapons are only useful when you have no metal weapon of the kind you'd like your soldiers to train with, and in a few specific circumstances.

−
Training weapons are virtually useless in [[combat]], so make sure that your soldiers have exchanged them for real weapons before sending them into battle, even if it means using a weapon they are totally unfamiliar with. Their utter uselessness can prove useful for [[live training]], however.

−
Note that soldiers equipped with training weapons for extended periods of time can grow [[Attachment|attached]] to their worthless wooden weapons. Congratulations - you now have a legendary stick.

−
Training weapons also used to have a few specific applications: [[Quality|poor-quality]] training spears were a prime component in [[danger room]] design. Training weapons were also ideal non-lethal equipment for your [[fortress guard]], when they still used their weapons to [[Fun|seriously wound or kill]] [[Justice#Crimes|criminals]], including [[Mandate|mandate violators.]]
 
−
 
 
−
Training axes cannot be used for [[Wood cutter|cutting down trees]]. A bug that let dwarves do this (thereby freeing up [[Embark#Prepare Carefully|embark points]], as weapon-grade metal axes are expensive) was [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_2016.html#2016-05-22 fixed in 0.43.03].
