Discarded level 1 weapon from quest reward, how do I get it back?

Level 1 weapons can also be crafted and sell for cheap on the market board. Often for less than the materials used to make it.

No, they can't be crafted. Level *5* weapons can be crafted, but the level 1 "Weathered" weapons/tools can only be created by a) creating a character of that class b) the quest that unlocks that class or c) an NPC vendor. They can't be crafted. It used to be different; there used to be a craftable level 1 item in addition to the Weathered one, but that's gone the way of all Dated items. They are tradable, so you can find them (often for cheap) on the Market Board, but its origin will be one of the three I stated.
