Okay.

You start with a certain weapon, say a Rapier. You need Sharpstone (a enemy/crystal gecko drop) in order to upgrade to Raper +1, +2, etc. Once you get to about +4, you need some of the harder to find "large splinter of sharpstone" in addtion to the easier to find sharpstone splinters to continue upgrading your weapon. At +7 you need "chunk of sharpstone" which is even harder to find.

Once you reach certain weapon levels (like a +4 rapier, for example), your regular weapon can be upgraded into a special one (curved,sharp, etc). Those given upgrade paths use special ores for upgrading that are generally hard to find, and some give bonuses based on a certain skill or combination of skill levels.

Sounds like it is easier said than done.

Thanks a lot. I hope to pick this up soon.

Hey is it a good idea to try and fight that red knight in 1-1. I just started the game, but he looks brutal. I don't want to chance it until I know for sure. Thanks.

Ignore him for now.

Anyone know this?

If you have high dex, it makes sense to use a weapon that benefits from that. I'm not exactly sure when it comes available, but upgrade your weapons at the blacksmith in 2-1, and you'll know when it does it it'll appear as an option for building it up.

ameratsu, have you tried 5-1 yet?
i got lost every time i went there....

Nope, but I probably will tonight. you wanna get co-op going later? I hate how one of us has to be in soul form though.

Alright. I'll go and try to get a sharp scimitar. I have 20 dex at level 25.

i think i may be in soul form now

let's play together tonight, it won't take too long for one of us to become a wandering soul again anyway
