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 Spadas.
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

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.
