I just started playing Demon's Souls this past weekend, and I'm enjoying it so far. I've played a total of 5 hours now and I've only earned one bronze trophy so far :( My trophy progress is going to slow to a crawl over the next few weeks.

Yeah that game really slowed me down with tropies as well.  Now though it's more the end game trophies I'm working on.  Only have 6 of the 14 weapons trophies and having a hard time getting some of the stones I need, since I still have at least another play through and a half I'm not that conserned though. 

I haven't spent much time yet reading up on those weapon trophies and what it takes to fully upgrade a weapon of each type. My understanding is that there are two generic upgrade paths: one using the Sharpstones, and one using Hardstones. Each time you upgrade with either of these stones, your weapon gets a +1, and will max out at +10. But there are other stones as well, like Clearstones for example. How does upgrading with these work? Do you have to upgrade a weapon to a certain level using the sharpstones and hardstones before branching out to these specific upgrade paths? If so, what't the difference between using sharpstones and hardstones as the base?
