4) Longbow

The Longbow has great Charged Attacks, which make it very useful for anyone, but especially for beginners. They can deal up to three times the normal attack damage, which is highly coveted. It's slow but also great at range, so being slow doesn't necessarily hurt. Beginners who want to get good at attacking from range should use this weapon.

The Glaive is one of the best weapons that players can get early in the game. It's available from Soggy Swamp and can be used pretty early on. It's a great melee weapon because it has a much higher range than most other melee weapons. The ability to hit enemies from further away is great for players to stay alive and safe. It's a bit slower, but the tradeoff is worth it.
