Ok I'm finally back on Demon's Souls. Been on vacation in Orlando. Alic0004, I'll be accepting your friend request today. I haven't been on in awhile, so you're ahead of me by a good bit. I'm only a level 25, so I've got some catching up to do.

Ameratsu:
A few questions about the game so far

What's the deal with qualitying your weapon? You'll lose most attributes and do you reclaim the souls you spent or what? I'm just afraid to do it until I know for sure.

I'm currently a level 25 Hunter with a +6 Battle Axe. Will I be able to handle
2-1 with ease or do I need some more leveling up?

Oh and if I'm a Hunter going for strength and endurance, do I need to worry about leveling up magic and will?
Thanks

 

Welcome back.

At certain levels, weapons can be upgraded to different states, such as quality or crushing. The point is that bonus damage is given based on certain stats among other things. The special upgrades are done at the 2-1 blacksmith. The crushing upgrade is good if you're doing strength. Here's a copy paste from the wiki:

• Sharp - Damage bonus is heavily modified by dexterity.
• Quality - Moderate damage bonus from strength and dexterity.
• Mercury - Poison special effect.
• Fatal - Critical special effect.
• Crescent - Damage bonus heavily modified by magic. Minor MP regen.

Level 25? 2-1 shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure exactly how you're building your character but you should be fine.

No, there's no point. Faith might serve a purpose as that increases your magic defense. It's up to you, maybe you want a little magic, maybe you don't. Your call.
