==Notes==
* The [[Bandit Hilt]] was originally the only way to obtain a multi-strike "bandit" weapon by using it on loot daggers such as [[Dagger]], [[Knife]], [[Jambiya]] and [[Khanjar]] and light swords such as [[Sword]], [[Rapier]], [[Short Sword]], [[Yaoji]], [[Simi]] and [[Spada]]s.
* The hilt is now retired as some [[Loot]] weapons can now be found already with the property:
** Heavy Weapons: Stiletto, Jambiya, Schlager (similiar to Rapier swords)
** Light Weapons: Daggers, Epees (similiar to Rapier swords)
** Finesse Weapons: Lancet, Knife, Rapier 

=== Notes on Hilted Weapons ===

* You can remove a Hilt by attaching another [[Bandit Hilt]] to the weapon (although the hilt is destroyed in the process).
* For double-strike, your base skill needs to be 250+. For daggers, if your base skill is 325+, you will have triple-strike ability. Swords cannot do triple-strike.
* To multi-strike with a weapon, set your power near maximum when fighting.
* Older Tier 6 and below Bandit weapons are [[Attuned]] and [[Bonded]] once the hilt has been attached.
* Newer Tier 7 Bandit weapons are NOT [[Attuned]] or [[Bonded]] after the hilt is attached.
* All non-elemental Bandit Weapons do piercing damage when used with a shield. Without the shield all non-elemental Bandit Weapons do slashing damage except the [[Rapier]] sword which always does piercing damage.
* Elemental Bandit Weapons always do elemental damage with or without shields.
* Hilted weapons with a wield requirement of 370+ may now be tinkered either before or after hilting. Note that failing a tinker or imbue on a hilted dagger still destroys it and the hilt as well, so imbuing and tinkering before hilting is recommended.  PLEASE NOTE:  A weapon with a wield requirement of less than 370 cannot be hilted if it has already been tinkered!
* You can readily identify a high-level weapon that can be hilted because it will be [[Ivoryable]].
* The [[Lucky White Rabbit's Foot]] and [[Gem of Spectral Force]] CANNOT be applied to hiltable weapons before or after they are hilted.
