is it possible to use weapon higher than class?

1) is it possible to use a weapon higher than your class?

2) if it is, is there some place (website/reference) to check the negative effect you would get from doing so? Or some rule of thumb?

Eg: Could a Palus Knight (D-grade) use an SLS (c-grade)?
Your Accuracy sucks, you miss mobs 75% of the time.
Your Fail rate (Spells mainly) is increased 90%.

Lesson: Theres a reason you get C-Grade Mastery at Lvl 40.
It's still viable if you're making an alt, to transfer over your a-grade weapon and only attack passive mobs. They won't aggro when you miss, and when you hit you will oneshot them. It gets really boring tho.
got a clan m8 that use basalt battlehammer (S-grade) on his academy alt (1-40)

he done with 1 and is now on 2nd so its doable ;)
It works on anything but a nuker.

Your spell WILL fail. You do pretty good smashying their skull in tho.
If you have a 2box with Guidance3 and use a blunt/fist type weapon you can do pretty good. My friend did 1-40 in some days.
Maybe an S-Grade bow with Might 3, Greater Might etc, Powershot mobs to death.

Yep, as in "100% failure rate" :)

It is completely useless for nukers. Even on melees I would not try it - ok, so you can one-shot anything when you finally hit it, but what is when you get aggro mobs on you? Then you HAVE to hit them, and I would hate to miss ten times in a row when you NEED those hits...

When you twink, simply give the toon top equip of the grade he can use and good buffs, that should be enough. And it is probably even faster than singling out passive mobs and air-swinging two or three times before you finally one-hit them...
Accuracy sucks, although a BoP on a lvl 40 HE is viable, but you miss a lot.
Yeah if you do it, get a blunt, the miss rate won't be THAT bad, plus below 40 if you got an high lv blutn you will 1-2 hit everything.

But I wuldnt really recomend doing it abow 40.
Friend of mine actually did it on his Palus Knight with a berserker sword from 28-40, it was pretty good actually and when shadow sense kicked in, he would miss a lot less. We did have guidance 3 and he could use his power strike + sting, having a god awfull accuracy doesn't affect ur skills.

We were 3 in the party, so even if he'd miss, we'd still be killing the mobs. I don't really think it's a viable option for soloing but maybe with a blunt / fist it might be doable, specially at night with shadow sense.

Oh and on a side note, ur SA don't work if u don't have the grade mastery ... so even if u get a Blunt with + accuracy u won't actually see the accuracy increase untill your level 40. (unless this changed since C4)

only nukes fail. my spellsinger lvled to 52 useing a b grade weapon and sleep and dots
I tried to use a dark screamer and an akat with my alt scout when he was lvl 20. Too many misses on the bow and too may mob hits in between dagger misses. They went directly into storage.
