I'm not going to lie and say it's a guarantee, I can't promise that. I can say that every member of my adventuring party back home whose primary contribution to a combat was weapon-based gained a superior weapon during the course of our adventures.

There's also the fairly significant chance that a good performance on an exploration may lead to the city itself offering a reward.
