Early Warrior Weapon Choices

How is Painbringer a level 1 - 16 weapon?
It doesn't proc until 35.

For a very basic weapon, you can quest for a 6/26 dwarven 1h axe.
Get the Brass Earring (2ac) off the Taskmaster in Crushbone. Turn it in to a dwarf slave and turn the note you receive into Haldin in BBM.
On my first try I got the axe, subsuquent tries got me bronze weapons.
