Can someone please tell me what are the best weapons in the game and what proficency they are in and also at which point of the game you can get them. I want to make sure I mold my char to the ones I like. Thanks

The best staff is availeble in the adventure market:staff of rhyn +4 my favourite weapon ever!
It's only 7000gold!

Yes, the 'Holy Avenger', or 'Cheapblade'. Only usable by paladins, two-handed sword +5. Also of note are the Celestial Fury katana +3 which stuns opponents, the Crom Faeyr warhammer +3, the 'Wave' halberd +4, the Vorpal Sword (silver sword) two-handed sword +3 (25% chance of instant kill, and my personal favourite weapon), the Gesen shortbow +4, any Drow weapon...

Err you're forgetting the Staff of the Magi. Far and away the best staff in the game. This staff always hits like a +5 weapon, makes one invis, gives protection from Evil . . . etc. Definitely the nicest staff in the game. But a rather nasty combat to get. It's in Athlakta, near the bridge district. You'll recognize the door when you see it, because you can't go through without a certain item (Ever actually bothered to /read/ the descriptions on the gems and their uses?)

Crom Faeyr counts as a +5 weapon, by the way ;>

Don't forget Blackrazor longsword (statistically right up there, practically useless). Don't want to spoil too much...

True, the Crom Faeyr is enchanted +5. Strange, the Crom Faeyr is ENCHANTED as a +5 weapon, but it only does up to +3 additional damage... odd. The Staff of the Magi does 1d6+1 damage, which makes it terrible as a weapon. As a mage's tool, though, it's very good.
