Assumptions

  • Tier = the best weapon's hits ÷ this weapon's, against every hostile creature of the biome, with what you can make by then (older weapons included): S ≥ 90%, A ≥ 75%, B ≥ 60%, C ≥ 40%, D below.
  • Hits as on Best weapons by biome: skill 50, resistances applied, max level, each creature counted up to 50 hits; bows and crossbows with the best arrow or bolt you have by then.
  • A weapon is listed once, in the biome where you can first make it.

Formula

share = best total hits ÷ this weapon's total hits; tier from the share.
