Dragon Horn Ykesha is 8/23 I believe and runs around 100p? I have one on one my chars that I would be happy to donate if you find me when the server comes back up.

Swiftblade till level 20 then go to higher damage Ranger Two Handers till epic. But keep your 1hand slashing skills up for the epic if you can ever get it along with the other weapon skills, 1h Blunt etc. After level 20 damage cap comes off.

You can hit higher then 30 damage at 20 but your still capped till 30.

It gets reduced at 20. totally off at 30.

Silver swift blade> spring wood staff > woodsman'a staff > epic. If you're looking to mess around a little I'd suggest looking at a crystalline short sword, lupine dagger, lamentation, jade mace. Those are all about 1:2 ratio and although a drop off in dps, sometimes a fun change of you have money. Steel jilted flint dagger is also a fun toy but not a serious weapon

Keep all of your weapons skills up as you level. You'll regret it if you don't.
