There are four types of weapon rarity in No Rest For The Wicked. The most common ones you’ll be using are rare, then transitioning into cursed weapons that provide great stats, but also have a downside.

With the latest update, the game made it so that weapon drops are dependent on the enemy, player, and area level. Combined, you will mostly get those that are within your usability range.

This works well for progression, as you will get better weapons simply by leveling up. Doing the campaign and side quests is a great way to increase XP gain.

Weapons usually drop with base runes and enchantments. The latter depend on the rarity, with cursed weapons having the highest number of enchantments.

With that said, here are the 10 best weapons to try in No Rest for the Wicked:

Weapon	Weapon Type	Attribute Requirement	Base Rune
Buried Shamshir	One-Handed Curved Sword	Strength and Intelligence	Lightning Flurry
Short Bardiche	Two-Handed Great Axe	Strength and Intelligence	Ice Ram
Scythe of Wretches	Scythe	Dexterity and Faith	Reap
Pound of Cadavers	Two-Handed Great Hammer	Strength and Faith	Fire Slam
Falling Sky	Staff	Intelligence	Ice Sweep, Glacial Spike, Hail, Blink
Cinder & Stone	Two-Handed Great Hammer	Strength and Intelligence	Crushing Uppercut, Fire Whirlwind, Eruption, Channel
Wind of Death	One-Handed Katana	Dexterity and Faith	Plague Whirl, Jump Cut, Slashing Dash, Twirl Dash
Stag of Embers	Staff	Intelligence	Fire Nova, Fire Wave
Ash Soothed Daggers	Double Dagger	Dexterity and Intelligence	Lightning Claw
Corpse Smeared Blade	Two-Handed Great Sword	Strength	Berserk Flurry, Slashing Spin, Scream, Thorns

No Rest for the Wicked's Breach update reworked a majority of the enchantments that can drop on weapons, adding a lot of new things. One of the best changes was the enchantment re-roll that saves a lot of time farming the weapon you want.

Fallen Embers, a currency to respec attributes, can now also be used to reroll/add enchantments. The item also allows targeted re-roll, meaning you can change a specific enchantment to get the best outcome.
