Novus Swords
Swords are the most common weapon class used by Novus players, mostly due to the fact that there is a wide range of them available, and one of them is the most powerful melee weapon on Novus - the Soul Dagger.
A logical progression is getting a Katana (16 Atk), using it to farm Elves which have a small chance (1/800?) to drop a Longsword (17 Atk) and then using that to try to loot a Poison Dagger (18 Atk) from Mutated Rats (1/2000+ chance).
Beyond that point, you may get lucky and Wrigg could spawn (once every few months usually) and you might loot a Rotsword (19 Atk), or you can keep working through the Novus Tasks to eventually obtain a Soul Dagger (20 Atk).
You may even go on to attempt to Enchant a Rotsword, but be warned that it may be very expensive to get even one attribute (be prepared to invest 500k or possibly more).
