"Without noticing the occupations of an intervening day or two, which, as they consisted of the ordinary sylvan amusements of shooting and coursing, have nothing sufficiently interesting to detain the reader, we pass to one in some degree peculiar to Scotland, which may be called a sort of salmon-hunting. This chase, in which the fish is pursued and struck with barbed spears, or a sort of long shafted trident, called a waster, is much practised at the mouth of the Esk, and in the other salmon rivers of Scotland." |
The trident is a significant upgrade over the spear. It is among the best starting weapons and the most broadly useful of the common polearms; halberds, scythes, and glaives are all usually inferior due to their high delay, while bardiches and especially demon tridents are quite rare.
