Weapon data verified: October 14, 2026

Every recorded Pixel Lineage weapons entry, grouped by weapon family and class, with its rank, how it is acquired and what it is for. This guide explains the three acquisition routes, the tiers 1 to 4 forging costs and the rolling rule, and which upgrade steps are worth the materials. Weapon data verified October 14, 2026.

Snapshot

Pixel Lineage weapons — how the tiers are spread

The record uses the S-to-D scale shown below. S and A hold the endgame and long-term picks; C and D are the starters you replace once better materials are flowing. Counts are a snapshot of the dated data on this page, not a live figure.

Rank	Weapons (snapshot)	What the band means
S	11	Top band: class signature Mythics and tier 4 forged picks.
A	8	Strong long-term options, including some blueprints that beat tier 4 crafts.
B	15	Mid-game bridges, including tier 2 and tier 3 crafts and found staffs.
C	8	Early upgrades over the tier 1 starter.
D	5	Starting weapons; replace them quickly.

Mythic

A class signature pick ranked in the top band, treated as an endgame drop rather than a craft.

Tier N forged

Built at the Blacksmith from tier 1 up to tier 4, with the material and gold cost rising at each step.

Blueprint

A found recipe that can craft a pick outside the standard forge ladder, sometimes outranking a tier 4 craft.

By class

Pixel Lineage weapons grouped by weapon family and class

A pick is only relevant to the class that wields it, so the list is grouped by class rather than by a single global ranking, and each class draws on its own weapon family. Notes are quoted from the dated record, and the rank badge reflects that record’s placement rather than a fixed stat line.

Warrior

12 weapons

Pick	Rank	Acquisition	Role & notes
Seraph's Oath	S	Mythic	Endgame Warrior sword. Class signature Mythic. Ranked in the top band with no listed drawback.
Voidreaver	S	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Warrior weapon. Top-tier forged option for Warrior, available without a Mythic drop.
Dragonfang Cleaver	A	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Warrior weapon. Strong and versatile long-term Warrior pick ranked just under Voidreaver.
Lightborne	A	Blueprint	Blueprint Warrior weapon. Blueprint weapon ranked A, so a found recipe can beat a forged tier 4 item.
Skull Axe	B	Blueprint	Blueprint Warrior weapon. Bridges the gap between early weapons and the tier 4 Warrior picks.
Frostbrand	B	Tier 3 forged	Tier 3 Warrior weapon. Solid tier 3 bridge weapon.
Heroic Sword	B	Blueprint	Blueprint Warrior weapon. Blueprint alternative in the same band as Frostbrand.
Sunforged Blade	B	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Warrior weapon. One of the earliest forged weapons that still ranks B.
Blood Sword	B	Blueprint	Blueprint Warrior weapon. Blueprint drop ranked B; only worth upgrading if the rolled rarity is high.
Verdant Warden	C	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Warrior weapon. A solid upgrade over the tier 1 starter rather than a long-term pick.
Iron Sword	D	Tier 1 forged	Tier 1 Warrior weapon. Tier 1 Warrior starter; cheap to forge while you learn the loop.
Bone Sword	D	Blueprint	Blueprint Warrior weapon. Blueprint starter sword with no meaningful upside over Iron Sword.

Thief

8 weapons

Pick	Rank	Acquisition	Role & notes
Nightfang	S	Mythic	Endgame Thief dagger. Class signature Mythic and the only way to give the low-defence Thief a comparable ceiling.
Emberclaw	A	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Thief weapon. Best forged Thief option before Nightfang.
Viper's Kiss	B	Tier 3 forged	Tier 3 Thief weapon. Tier 3 Thief weapon; pairs with the fast-attack playstyle.
Stone Scythe	B	Blueprint	Blueprint Thief weapon. Blueprint Thief weapon in the B band.
Shadowstep Kunai	C	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Thief weapon. Tier 2 Thief weapon with a notable improvement over tier 1.
Star Stiletto	C	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Thief weapon. Alternate tier 2 Thief option in the same band.
Steel Dagger	D	Blueprint	Blueprint Thief weapon. A step up from the tier 1 dagger, not a power shift.
Iron Dagger	D	Tier 1 forged	Tier 1 Thief weapon. Tier 1 Thief starter. Replace quickly — the class already lacks defence.

Mage

11 weapons

Pick	Rank	Acquisition	Role & notes
Astral Sceptre	S	Mythic	Endgame Mage staff. Class signature Mythic. Rewards the Celestine and Vesper magic bonuses.
Voidcaller	S	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Mage weapon. Tier 4 magic option; the realistic target before an Astral Sceptre.
Phoenix Rod	A	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Mage weapon. Ranked A: a fine long-term Mage option if Voidcaller is out of reach.
Cursed Staff	A	Blueprint	Blueprint Mage staff. Blueprint Mage weapon in the A band; check the rolled rarity before investing materials.
Crescent Moonstaff	B	Tier 3 forged	Tier 3 Mage weapon. Tier 3 Mage stop before the tier 4 staffs.
Iron Staff	B	Blueprint	Blueprint Mage staff. Blueprint staff ranked B — stronger than a tier 1 forged staff.
Skull Staff	B	Blueprint	Blueprint Mage staff. Blueprint Mage staff in the same band as Iron Staff.
Cleric Staff	B	Blueprint	Blueprint Mage staff. Blueprint healer-leaning staff ranked B.
Worldtree Staff	C	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Mage weapon. Tier 2 Mage weapon; replace once tier 3 materials are flowing.
Bone Staff	C	Blueprint	Blueprint Mage staff. Blueprint staff in the C band, below the other found staffs.
Oak Staff	D	Tier 1 forged	Tier 1 Mage weapon. Tier 1 Mage starter, and a weak one even for its tier.

Fist

5 weapons

Pick	Rank	Acquisition	Role & notes
Phoenix Knuckles	S	Mythic	Endgame Fist weapon. Class signature Mythic. Pairs with Stonekin's Fist damage bonus.
Thunder Fists	S	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Fist weapon. Tier 4 Fist pick that keeps the class viable without the Mythic.
Jade Dragon Wraps	A	Tier 3 forged	Tier 3 Fist weapon. A tier 3 weapon ranked above several tier 4 options, which makes it a strong mid-game stop.
Titan Gauntlet	B	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Fist weapon. Tier 2 Fist option for players who cannot yet craft Jade Dragon Wraps.
Leather Hand Wraps	C	Tier 1 forged	Tier 1 Fist weapon. Tier 1 Fist weapon; the cheapest way to test the class before committing.

Bard

5 weapons

Pick	Rank	Acquisition	Role & notes
Aurora Lute	S	Mythic	Endgame Bard instrument. Class signature Mythic. Gives the support class a real damage floor.
Nightsong Lute	S	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Bard instrument. Best forged Bard option in the top band.
Sunburst Lute	A	Tier 3 forged	Tier 3 Bard instrument. Another case where a tier 3 weapon outranks tier 4 alternatives.
Verdant Lyre	B	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Bard instrument. Tier 2 Bard bridge weapon.
Traveller's Lute	C	Tier 1 forged	Tier 1 Bard instrument. Tier 1 Bard instrument and the starting point for the class.

Archer

6 weapons

Pick	Rank	Acquisition	Role & notes
Celestial Bow	S	Mythic	Endgame Archer bow. Class signature Mythic and the ranged counterpart to Seraph's Oath.
Voidstring	S	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Archer bow. Tier 4 bow ranked in the same band as the signature Mythic.
Emberwing Bow	A	Tier 4 forged	Tier 4 Archer bow. Ranked A for Archer alongside the tier 3 bows.
Stormcaller Bow	B	Tier 3 forged	Tier 3 Archer bow. Tier 3 Archer stop on the way to Emberwing.
Elven Longbow	B	Tier 2 forged	Tier 2 Archer bow. Ranked in the same band as the tier 3 bow, so it can carry you longer than its tier suggests.
Hunting Bow	C	Tier 1 forged	Tier 1 Archer bow. Tier 1 bow; replace as soon as tier 2 forging is unlocked.

Class roles and the wider class ranking are covered on the classes page, and the S-to-D weighting sits on the tier list.

Forging

Pixel Lineage forging — unlock, roll rule and tier costs

Repair the Blacksmith in the village to unlock weapon forging from tier 1 to tier 4.

A forged weapon rolls its own rarity separately once the metal cools, the same way a drop would. Higher tiers are consequently rarer, so the same recipe can produce a strong or a disappointing weapon.

Each zone has its own mobs with unique loot drops you can either sell or invest in crafting. The Moss Wolves are elite enemies in the first zone, alongside the Goblin and Slime King bosses.

The same ladder produced every Pixel Lineage weapons entry listed above, so the gold and material figures below are the shared cost of climbing it.

Forge cost by tier
Tier	Gold	Materials
Tier 1	120	2x Salvaged Metal · 1x Moss Wolf Pelt
Tier 2	400	3x Bone Fragments · 1x Cursed Essence
Tier 3	900	3x Wisp Dust · 2x Runed Stone Shards · 1x Cursed Essence
Tier 4	1800	4x Living Cinder · 3x Runed Stone Shards · 2x Cursed Essence

Upgrades

When to spend upgrade stones in Pixel Lineage

The Blacksmith upgrades collected gear with upgrade stones that come in Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary rarities. Upgrades are not guaranteed, and advanced steps are much less likely to succeed than early ones.

Treat a forged pick’s rolled rarity as the deciding factor, not the recipe. Because the same recipe can roll differently, confirm the roll before you commit a rare stone to a pick you may replace.

Upgrade rules of thumb

The Blacksmith upgrades collected gear with upgrade stones; upgrade materials come in Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary rarities.
Upgrades are not guaranteed: some steps have high success rates and more advanced steps are much less likely to succeed.
Do not spend rare upgrade materials on gear you expect to replace. Save the strong stones for a weapon you plan to keep.
A forged weapon's rolled rarity matters more than the recipe, so check the roll before investing upgrade stones.

What public sources do — and do not — say

The rank placements and forge costs on this page are drawn from community references. Those references do not publish per-item damage numbers or per-stone success rates, so no attack values or guaranteed upgrade odds are claimed here.

Sources publish rank placements and forge costs, not per-weapon damage numbers, so no attack or crit values are listed here.
Upgrade success rates per stone rarity are not published.
Duplicate names across acquisition routes (forged, dropped and Blueprint) can produce different rolls, so treat the rank placement as a guide rather than a fixed stat line.

For how these materials feed the wider loop, see the dungeons guide and the combat system.

Common questions

FAQ

How many weapons are in Pixel Lineage?

The dated record behind this page lists 47 Pixel Lineage weapons across the six class families. Its rank spread is S: 11, A: 8, B: 15, C: 8, D: 5 as a snapshot, not a live count.

What is the best weapon in Pixel Lineage?

The record places the class signature Mythics and the tier 4 forged weapons together in the S band. "Best" still depends on your class: a signature Mythic for your class beats a higher raw rank you cannot use, so check the class column before chasing a single name.

How does Pixel Lineage forging work?

Repair the Blacksmith in the village to unlock forging. Each of tiers 1 to 4 costs gold plus materials, and a forged pick rolls its own rarity once the metal cools — the same way a drop would — so a single recipe can produce a strong or a disappointing result.

Where do Pixel Lineage forging materials come from?

Each zone has its own mobs with unique loot drops that you can either sell or invest in crafting. Moss Wolves are elite enemies in the first zone alongside the Goblin and Slime King bosses, so early materials come from repeating those encounters.

Should I upgrade a weapon I am about to replace?

No. Upgrade stones are not guaranteed and the more advanced steps are much less likely to succeed, so save the rare stones for a pick you plan to keep. A forged pick’s rolled rarity matters more than the recipe, so check the roll first.
