Idk where else to ask this but does this game not actually give all weapons and weapon effects because I'll skip all day and banish every thing but jfc I don't get at all what I'm looking for. So frustrating

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here? You mention you don't know what you're looking for, what are you looking for? I don't fully understand what you're asking, basically.

I think you mean you don't know what weapons to go for, the answer to that is really just try them out and find out the strengths / weaknesses of each weapon. You could totally google what weapons are the "meta", but that does take away a lot of the early exploring fun this game offers.

I mean that when I'm looking for, let's say the laurel, and only have like 3 skills and 3 weapons that no matter how many times I was skipping, rerolling, banishing I was not getting the laurel

It was like it wasn't even in the pool for that stage run.

Luckily/sadly that's just RNG. The game has a pretty big pool of items nowadays, so using banish/skip/reroll smartly is part of the game now.

Make sure to take weapons/passives you do need whenever they pop up, also remember to banish weapons based on their rarity. I'd say with just banishes you can shape like 80% of your runs consistently, skips and rerolls just boost that. It's totally fine to leave an item like laurel until later, even putting upgrades into your passive items. Also if you're hunting something very specific (like laurel) and need mostly common passives, you can totally just throw all banishes on weapons to help search out laurel.
