Weapon Mastery
In New World, you can use any weapon. But at the same, you can equip only 2. You should take them with some synergy for a nice combo.
When you killing your enemies you gain Weapon Mastery experience. These levels will give you points, which you can spend on passive or active abilities. The maximum level of weapon is 20.
Every weapon has 2 skill trees. And you can 3 active abilities for each weapon.
If you are made a mistake in your build it is not a big problem - you can respec it for some azoth.

In New, World weapons have stat priorities.
If the weapon has 2 stats, scaling is 90% main stat and 65% secondary stat.
If the weapon has 1 stat it is 100% for stat

War Hammer - Strength
Great Axe - Strength
Bow - Dexterity
Musket - Dexterity/Intelligence
