DUSKRUIN NEWS: GM Weaves unveils all new Aggro Weapons for Duskruin, in the Aggro Culture shop. These weapons are tiered, incredibly irritated at your foes, and get angrier! Here’s the wiki link – as of this report only Tier 1 was done, but keep an eye on it for the rest:

Getting really warm!
If you are fully trained and in an aggressive stance, the aggro weapon will earn aggression based on combat actions. Missing a target, getting injured, scoring a bloody hit, making a kill, or mutilating a corpse are all actions that will feed into your anger and help fill the weapon with aggression. The exact amount is a mystery but is based on the creature’s level — too low level or too high level and you’ll naturally feel unchallenged by the creature, reducing or eliminating entirely the amount of aggression you earn.

Aggression gradually fades, quicker at higher levels of aggression, if you fail to make any aggression-earning combat activities.
