    Hard to choose just one, I mainly use 1hand axe, 2hand axe (Great Axe), and Great Swords.

    Being versatile has its benefits but I can't really say what specific weap is good post 1-30.


    Just my 2cents

      Great Axe (two-handed axe) is an A+ weapon for Warrior. I've capped my skill with Great Axe using a Moth Axe, and I will have to say that it's the best weapon I've used thus far. I build TP extremely fast with the weapon at max skill level (because I rarely miss) and do a great amount of damage. I thought it was a horrible weapon when I first started because my skill was so low, and I kept missing! If you buy any weapon and you're disappointed with it, stick with it and level up your skill with that type of weapon. You'll be greatly rewarded when you reach the weapon's skill cap!

      I also really dig the polearm. I just maxed my skill with that the other day and switched back to Scythe (which I leveled up from skill level 10 to 40 in just a couple of hours of play).

          Although Warriors can do almost every weapon, They are most skilled at Great Axe and Axe... (This is ranked as their A weapons) The rest of the weapons they are still good at but are slightly lower... (like 3-4 points) compared to the skill cap of the Axes...

          I know this cuz I leveled both Sword and Axe as a warrior and Axe's max cap was always ahead compared to the swords...

              Try to fight monsters with high defense. Your skill level will raise even faster if you fight monsters with high evasion and defense. Right now, at level 28 in the Valkurm Dunes, I can fight "too weak" and "easy" monsters that mostly have high defense, and some also have high evasion. I may not get any or much experience from them, but I level up my weapon skills like crazy!
