Most Weapons in Assassin's Creed Odyssey are randomly generated. However, there are some Legendary Weapons that grant amazing engravings and fantastic boons. Check this page to learn how Weapons work in Assassin's Creed Odyssey and how to obtain every Legendary Weapon in the game.
How Weapons Work
Weapons, like Armor, are divided by four types of rarity. Common (gray), Rare (blue), Epic (purple), and Legendary (gold). All weapons, except Legendary Weapons, are randomly generated and can be obtained by looting chests and enemies and completing quests. See how they differentiate in the chart below.
Keep in mind you can level up any Weapon you'd like, which is well worth the trouble for pieces that give you buffs that match your playstyle. Check outEngravings;to see what kind of buffs Weapons can have.
