Silver

Silver, Alchemical
A complex process involving metallurgy and alchemy can bond silver to a weapon made of steel so that it bypasses the protective damage reduction of creatures such as devils and vampires.


 * Note: Silver weapons have 2 points lower hardness then equivalent steel weapons, and as such aren't quite as durable.


 * Can bypass Vampires' DR
 * Can bypass some Devils' DR
 * The game doesn't have any Lycanthrope monster as of Update 10.

Bows made of Silver
Unlike melee weapons (and unlike Metalline bows), bows "made of silver" do not bypass DR/Silver on foes. Any bow loaded with silver ammo do bypass the DR however.

History
In the original release of DDO, silver weapons worked more like their pen and paper counterparts and dealt 1 point less damage per swing. This was changed to simplify the game.
