Ancient Iron Armory – 8 Weapon Animation Pack

I just completed my 3rd order for a long-term client with this full Ancient Iron Armory weapon pack.
All weapons were created in pure retro pixel art style for RPG Maker MZ top-down games. Every weapon is designed as a 3-frame animation sheet (288×64 px) with the handle/grip pixel perfectly locked in the exact same position across all frames — so they overlay seamlessly on any player sprite without sliding or clipping.
Weapons Included

Cane/Staff – Iron shaft with glowing clear quartz crystal gem
Spear – Smooth iron shaft + sharp tip (thrust/stab animation with motion lines)
Whip – Spiky iron-hair/metal sponge texture (coiled base → swing arc → coiled recovery)
Dagger – Short iron blade with clean stab motion
Axe – Heavy wide iron head with powerful chop animation
Sword – Long straight iron blade with diagonal slash
Bow – Curved limbs with string tension + arrow release
Bonus Staff – Extra variant with different crystal style (gift for the client’s patience)
