Boarding Pike

Summery
Boarding Pikes do 35 damage per hit. This makes it a 3 hit to kill melee weapon. The advantage you have when using a Boarding pike is that it has a lot more range on it, meaning you can hit your target from a further range. This is, of course, a close-range combat but much more range than an item like the cutlass, etc.

Crafting
To craft a Boarding pike you must have 2 ingots (any ore) and two logs (any logs).

Strategy
Using the Boarding Pike at a range is good because your enemy can't get close enough to hit you. The downside is that if you aren't careful and they go past the end of your pike you can't hit them and have to move back so you can.
