Upgrading Weapons

Weapons in Elden Ring can be upgraded at Sites of Grace or Elden Ring Items through special NPCs. The process of upgrading your weapons uses Smithing Stones, and the upgrade process is divided into several tiers.

Smithing Stones: These are essential for upgrading weapons. There are different types of Smithing Stones, each corresponding to a different tier of upgrade. The higher the Smithing Stone grade, the more powerful the weapon becomes.

Enhancing Weapon Skills: Some weapons can also be enhanced with special Ashes of War. These are unique abilities that can be applied to weapons to give them special attacks, buffs, or elemental effects. Ashes of War can be found throughout the world, and some NPCs offer them as part of quests.

B. Armor Upgrades

In addition to weapons, you can also upgrade your armor to increase your defense, resistances, and weight. Armor upgrades use materials like Smithing Stones, Twinkling Titanite, and special rare materials.

Weight Considerations: Upgrading armor increases its weight. This is important to consider because the heavier your armor, the slower your roll and movement become. Be mindful of your Equip Load to maintain an optimal balance between defense and agility.

Elemental Resistance: Some armor sets are particularly strong against certain elemental effects, like fire, magic, or lightning. By upgrading armor, you can increase these resistances and better protect yourself against specific boss or enemy attacks.

C. Special Weapon Upgrades

Unique Weapon Upgrades: Some special weapons, like Greatswords, Colossal Weapons, or Curved Swords, have additional upgrade paths that can give them unique properties.
