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?

Some other types can also be started when the weapon is plane most start at +3 but even then I think are are others after all beside sharp and hard there are 12 other types!  I had to look at the demon's souls wiki when it came to the weapons because I wasn't sure what weapons I could use for certain types and what level it had to be.  Turned out for two of the 12 once I got it started I already had all the stones to finish.  Thankfully only shap and hardstone go all the way up to 10 the rest only up to 5.  I've got 5 more types that are at level 4 so getting close to finishing them.  Don't worry though once you get going with the game you'll find some trophies are faster than others.  Dragon God after Flamlurker is a one example.  Not only is it easier to get to the Dragon God once you've taken out Flamelurker but he's easier to kill as well and a silver instead of a bronze!  Go figure.
