My duel with Droch

How is it that I see no damage to my opponent or his armor?

Well, the weapon may damage his armor is his shield, but it didnt damage the body of the other fighter,
And the report showes only if the strike damage the body, slashes some of his Vitality Points.

The problem ist, that your weapons Damage Points are to low the be efficent against the other warroir with shield (he can block your weapon) and his iron armor.

You should better fight against a knight with who is more or less in the same exprience calss like you, so you can be sure nearly sure that you can do some damage and that you both benefit from the fight.

You have equiped the weapon so it "works" as far as this means you use it while fighting. The reason you made no damage is caused by three points.
1. This is a very cheap beginners weapon with only little damage possible.
2. You probably haven't fought enough with it to have a good skill (though you made quite many attacks which means this could be not the case).
3. Droch is heavily armored. Even more expensive and better weapons can't do a lot of damage to him. You'r weapon simply can do about no damage to such a good and expensive armor.

You should try duelling with younger knights that are more equal to you in equipment and experience. Then the damage will follow.


Hadrian was faster...

Joseph, notice you have premium. Street brawls are the best way to test different weapons / armor / fighting style configurations.
If its equipped and the state is not 0%, it should work. As Hadrian and Dietrich pointed out, its a bit hard to hit a knight with better equipment and skills than yourself. Still a random factor is involved, so it won't be impossible.
