What are the difference between magic weapons and non-magic ones?

Your last words confuse me. So basically speaking, magic weapons do normal damage against everything while non-magic ones will do less against some types right?

Nah, what i’m saying is it would be cool if magic weapons cut thru non-magic armour as if it wasn’t there. Thats not how eq actually works though, hence “I made it up”.

The only real use effect of the magic flag is for weapons - it lets you hit wisps, ghouls, etc which are immune to nonmagic attacks. Magic shields make magic bashed, magic shoulders magic slams and magic feet magic kicks. Magic hands magic punches (i swear this was monk only on live but works for all classes here).

Oh the magic flag also means an item 1) can’t be stolen by a rogue and 2) when disarmed falls into the target’s inventory instead of the ground.
