Intro:
For this guide, I'm not going to cover Items that have no unlock requirement like quests so that you can just go to the grand exchange and buy it.

Weapons 2H:
-
Guthan's warspear / Verac's flail / Torag's hammer / Dharok's greataxe
-
Bane 2h sword + 4
Weapons Dual Wield:
-
Drygore weaponry Long swords ( Long swords are the best all round even more so when wielding a Shield/Defender)
My personal progression would be to get; Masuta's warspear, blade of avaryss and blade of nymora, then trade the masuta's warspear for a dragon rider lance. Then, I would trade the blade of avaryss and blade of nymora for drygore long swords, then trade the dragon rider lance for noxious scythe .
It's always good to have both duel wield and two-handed weapons for melee. Duel wield deals more damage on single targets and two-handed (2H) deals more area of effect (AoE) damage. People see scythe and get tunnel vision, and duel wield weapons gets unnoticed but for the most part most bosses are single targets so you can deal more damage so just think about what you want to kill.
People tend to have the idea to go straight for a tier 90 weapons and get tier 80-90 armour after but then struggle with mid to high level bosses which they wanna kill to make money to buy the weapon. They tend to think is because their weapon is too weak, or not high enough level or they're not skilled. But most of the time the trouble isn't the damage per second (DPS) its the survivability, so I would suggest getting a tier 80-87 weapon and tank armour like Tetsu, Bane or Elder rune until you can afford a good weapon and armor.
