When you first start out for best metal, what you can wield is bronze. With you levels going up, you will be allowed to wield more metals. Attack, Defense, and Strength are necessary to be trained if you want to make some good weapons for yourself. It doesn’t mean weapons only contain swords. A Battle staff or even a bow can be considered as a weapon. Even bare fists can be used as a weapon, too.
If you want to get some special weapons, it is suggested you join RS members. You can buy from online stores which sell rs accounts with items and gold together. Once you become members, you can get weapons with special attacks, powers or jobs.

Excalibur: it can raise your defense temporarily by 10%.
Darklight: it can reduce an opponent's attack, strength, and defense.
Crystal Bow: its 80% faster than a magic bow and it does not use ammo.
Rune Claws: it temporarily increases strength and attack for that hit, but makes the attack slower.
Abbysal Whip: it transfers 10% of your opponent's energy to you.
Magic Longbow: it can do an accurate shot that will definitely inflict damage.
Bone Dagger: it Lowers opponents defense by the amount of damage you inflict. And it has a very good chance of hitting an unsuspecting opponent.
Dorgeshuun Crossbow: It does the same as the Bone Dagger.
