There are some cool weapons in game. Frankly, I'm shocked that you didn't find or receive any. 
Excalibur: I found this in Davy Jones' Locker, after killing Nessie. As for whether this is random or not, perhaps it is, and we've just been lucky, but both me, and my boyfriend have always found it there in our games.
Zataichi Bo: I found this in the Rapax Castle. There are three deposit slips that you can find in the Constable's Office (you have to pickpocket his key off of him though) that can be turned in at the King's Treasury. One of them gets you the Zataichi Bo.
Frontier Phasers (or however you spell it [img]smile.gif[/img] ): I have yet to get this, but my boyfriend has. He got his from Jan-Ette (the dying Helazoid prisoner in Bayjin), or rather the bag that she drops when she dies. This obviously is random - because I never got it.
As for Maenad's Lance, the Light Sword, and the Light Shield - they continue to evade me. There are plenty of other good items that I haven't listed here though.
There are a lot of good items that can be found, there was a link to a full item list in one of the other posts. I just wish they weren't so random. Davy Jone's locker contained spell books and a chain mail for me. Jan Ette dropped an Ebony Heaume, which isn't that great when you can buy an infinity helm from Ferro. I didn't do a lot of PP so I did't get the Zataichi Bo. I just think some of the nicer items could have been given a bit higher chance to show up.
Does the difficulty setting have anything to do with item drops? I was set on expert the entire game, does anyone know if this lowers the chances of getting good items?
