My favorites are all "generic" (as in, not unique) magical weapons: Flying daggers from the first Ruins of Undermountain boxed set, dragonfang daggers from Dragon 169, and gemswords from SJR1 Lost Ships.
Interestingly, all of those come from Ed's pen.  |

I like Thunderstaves as written up in Volo's Guide to All Things Magical. I also liked Ilbratha, Mistress of Battles, from The Magister. It wasn't any mighty artifact but it had a history and some interesting powers to go along with it's +1 to hit and damage.
Arilyn's moonblade was also a cool idea I thought when I read about it. I liked that the sword gained powers from it's wielders, that they had to sacrifice to hold one, and that even trying to claim one was a risky proposition for an elf since they could be judged unfit and die by the blade they hoped to claim. |

| Jarlaxle's twin wrist daggers... Endless supply of daggers at the flick of a wrist or keep ahold and double flick for long swords. |

Oh, far too many to name here.
The most familiar ones that immediately come to mind, though, would be:- Khelben's patented Blackstaff, Robyn's 'Staff of the White Well', as detailed Heroes' Lorebook, and the hopeblades from Steven Schend's Blackstaff novel. |

Glowstones from FR11, the various Eyes (Ruins of Undermountain - an FR version of Quaal's Feather Tokens), Andrathath's Mask (from the "uncut" version of City of Splendors: Waterdeep), the Sash of Spells (from VGttD) and Malagar "the Burnfang" (Dragon #277 - shameless plug).

Yep, its the ancient weapon which has ties to Eltab that was believed to be created by the ancient Raumathari and used by Yvengi and others. |

Khelben's Blackstaff, Cale's Weaveshear, and Arilyn's Moonblade. Though, were it canon, Lilarcor would top them all.  |

| I too love the Shattering Swords. Also, Susk the Silent (perhaps not FR canon. Not sure of the first appearance. I know it from the Encyclopedia Magica. |

| I always liked Aegis-Fang, the fact that it returns to your hand to surprise enemies always made me chuckle. |

| Personally I think my favourite weapons would have to be the Moonblades and the Staff of the Abyss and Drow house Insignia as described in 2nd ed. "Drow of the Underdark" book. |
