maybe you guys forgot OS jitte, Wayward Wand, Zodiac scepter, Zodiac staff (preNF), Ghostly staff (preNF), paper fan, pronged fan, jug, straw effigy, twin serpent jeweled staff preNF, Fire Staff (Canthan) preNF, "Gazing Eye Artifact" flame artifact?
OS shields with -2/-2 and -2 with +10 vs type also probably (exalted, zodiac,magmas, emblazoned, Bladed, GoTH, Outcast, Echovald, Celestial, Crude, Eternal, Embossed, Shadow, Plagueborne, Stone Summit, Summit Warlord pretty much).
Dragon staves, bo staves, etc.
Unless you mean weapon as in main hand/2 hand only, you forgot all about shields :P
In Prophecies/Factions days you had to be super rich to have a decent wand and focus or staff. I used collector stuff and Telamon/Gertrud 20/20s. Honestly, that's the main reason I even had a warrior. Warrior stuff was so easy to come by. Staves are pretty easy now, the dice-roll is only on one slot. Now it's down to wand + focus. Shields have a ton more leeway because it's less likely to get a horrible mismatch. You might get +1 healing or something on a shield but it's still more useful than 20 water/20 curses on a wand or focus.
R8 or R9 15>50 is nothing compared to a 20/20 blood/curses/heal/dom Straw effigy for example. And then that doesn't compare to a paper fan or pronged fan.
