The best weapons? Oh jeez, there are so many great weapons in this game. My favorites:
ITEM SPOILERS:
-

Long Sword of Action +4 : bonus to AC and one extra attack per round
Sanctified Morning Star: Wisdom bonus, extra spells, ac bonus
Mage dagger +4: AC bonus, extra spells, resistance to magic
Fire Flail +3: VERY Useful against trolls
Messenger of Sseth: Long Bow - VERY fast and an extra attack per round that is NOT documented in the item description
Long Sword +3 The Enforcer : GREAT item for a fighter/mage : extra spells and some other bennies
Axe of Caged Souls: Great for use on Burial Isle and Hall of Heroes - extra bonuses against cadaverous undead
Three White Doves: Awesome mace against undead (HOW only)
Amuantor's Legacy: Long sword that rocks against undead

There are nice items in every category except for short bow where there is only one really good short bow and it isn't available until HOW. The best categories for items based on numbers of choices and quality(IMHO)are long sword, morning star, flail, long bow, dagger and possibly axe. There are a few very nice hammers, crossbows, short swords and halberds as well. Mace has only the three white doves as a really good item and quarter staffs are really sparse. There are some nice clubs that appear in HOW but they occur very late in the game unfortunately.

NOTE: Sorry but ive had to edit this post, as it contained lots of item spoilers. Be careful with spoiler please, thanks [img]smile.gif[/img] .(Modified by Ertai_OHF)
