- Levels 1-3 of Weapons
- How to Get Level 4?
Levels 1-3 of Weapons
New weapons can be obtained or received as you progress through the game, all of which start at Level 1 (Lv. 1). Increasing your favorite weapon’s level will enhance its statistics (e.g. damage) and provide new features (e.g. improved attack speed).
Upgrading weapons can only be done by a trader. The first Weapons Trader is located in the Resistance Camp (options for interacting with him will become available after completing several initial quests in that location).
After talking to the trader, select the Upgrades option. You will see a list of the weapons you currently possess along with the requirements for upgrading them. You must:
- Spend a certain amount of gold,
- Use specific crafting materials- their list is displayed on the right side and you can get them, e.g. as loot or as rewards for completing quests.
By default, weapons can be developed to the third level. After reaching Lv. 3, a dash will appear to indicate that further upgrades are not available at this merchant. You can get a hint about looking for a unique blacksmith who could further improve the weapon. Finding him will be your next task.
How to Get Level 4?
In Chapter 6, specifically during the exploration of the castle (the one where the camera is located on the side), you can upgrade your weapons to level 4.
When exploring the castle, you must reach the Access Point from the above image.
Go back to the right and jump down to the lower shelf. In the place marked on the image, you will see a large crate you can push. Move it to the right (you will also be able to use it to return to the top).
Examine the passage on the left that was obscured by the crate. You will enter the hideout of Forest Blacksmith Masamune.
Masamune can upgrade weapons to level 4 – you have to pay him and provide (rare) crafting materials.
Upgrading any weapon to the fourth level will be rewarded with Tools of the Trade bronze trophy.
