This group of weapons (of which you can possess only one) are the most powerful free weapons in the game. Each weapon has an "evil" (Iakor's) version, which is received at the end of the Runeskin saga, and a "good" (Shimmering Silver) version, which is obtained by taking an Iakor's weapon to Mezaryl in Trithik (they don't have to be the same type of weapon). Players frequently refer to the Shimmering Silver weapons by their initials (SSL, etc).
There is one pair of weapons for each of the major Weaponry subskills.

Weaponry: Staves[]
The staves are generally considered poor choices because, even though their stats are identical to the other weapons in the collection, they require 2 hands and therefore deny the wielder the benefit of a shield.

Tarn Bonus[]
You can add a permanent +2 MR and +1 SP boost to any of these weapons in Tarn. To do so you have to restore the water's flow, then use the weapon at the shimmering fountain. Iakor's Weapons make the water dark, and cause it to hurt you if you drink it. You can avoid this effect if you take it to the Cathedral of Silver Rain in Talinus first and "kneel before the silver pool" with the weapon equipped.
(edit) Kneeling before the silver pool at the Cathedral of Silver Rain will remove the demonic alignment of an Iakor's Weapon, however this no longer prevents the water of the fountain from turning dark once you use the Iakor's Weapon there, and you still lose SP when you drink from it.

Tallys Bonus[]
The Silver-Banded Breastplate provides a +2 MR/SP bonus to any Shimmering Silver weapon.
