Weapons have a character level requirement, and a gear level, which is related to Crafting and the level of Gems that can be socketed into it, the level of charms that can be used on it, and other things. Level 16 and 17 gear level is currently the highest available.

The highest level weapons in the game come from two sources:

  1. Penultimate L16, from Twilight Temple or Lunar Glade weapons that are then Decomposed to make materials
  2. Ultimate (as of 2017) L17, from Homestead

Weapon Type[]

The level 17 weapons are themselves a progression, with lesser L17 "orange" weapons before the final "green" weapon. All of the final weapons offer a choice (the character can own both) between Defense Level bonus and Attack Level.


Axe[]

Cold Sharpness

Cold Sharpness level 55 axes from Quicksand Maze; they glow blue even without Gems equipped

High attack power. Also dual wield possible. Barbarian and Blademaster. Crafted weapons are Axe and Hammer, in that order of level, and come after Poleaxe and Polehammer in level.

Axe[]

Axe  : L16 : ☆Unicorn's Tragedy. L17 : Choice of Defense Level +80 ☆☆☆Parading Slasher or Attack Level +80 ☆☆☆Crusading Slasher.

From Twilight Temple:
Beacon Axes > ☆Unparalleled Brimstone Edges
From Lunar Glade:
Drakehunt > Dragonhunt

Hammer[]

Hammer. This is the preferred route, because of Chaotic Implement being easy to craft. It is made of only ingredients, not souledges, as the Lunar Glade weapons are, but is crafted from Twilight Temple items that are easier to obtain.

From Twilight Temple:
Polehammer: Chaotic Implement > ☆Anchor of Chaos
From Lunar Glade:
Polehammer: Raging Hurricane > Howling Hurricane

Magical Instruments[]

Instruments in the sense of, a tool, instrumental to the task. Wands /Magic Swords /Patakas /Glaives. Weapon of choice for Wizards, Venomancers, Mystics and Clerics to use their abilities. High magic attack, low & mostly irrelevant physical attack (apart from a dubious and at this stage of the game, rare and unpopular build of Venomancer).

The level requirements follow a specific order: e.g. Wand at level 31, Magic Sword at 34, Pataka at 37 and Glaive at 39. This really only matters for crafting; Mold weapons, Dungeon Gear and Quest Gear do not necessarily follow this progression.

The difference between the magic weapons, is almost always their damage "spread". Wands have a low damage and high damage that are very close to each other; this is a small "spread" of damage, which is preferable for PvE, all other things being equal. A small spread is reliable damage, making it easier to predict when one enemy will die, and it is time to move on to the next enemy; this makes for less time spent casting spells that fail to cast before the enemy dies, or cast when the enemy would have died anyway. The smaller damage also gives less Overkill, which is to say, less damage beyond what is necessary to kill the enemy. Patakas have a low damage and high damage that are very far from each other; this is a large "spread" of damage, which is preferable for PvP, all other things being equal. With players healing themselves very rapidly, the killing blow will be a high damage spike; criticals and weapons with a higher upper damage value are preferred.

With Endgame Nirvana weapons, Wands and Glaives give more chances for +casting rate bonuses, Patakas have a chance for physical resistance bonuses, and Magic Swords, for critical hit bonuses.[1]
