Upgrading Weapons with Smithing Stones

Smithing Stones are used to upgrade weapons at any Anvil Site of Grace. Each upgrade level requires a certain number of Smithing Stones. The following table shows the number of stones required for each upgrade level:

Effective Strategies

• Prioritize upgrading weapons: Focus on upgrading your main weapon first, as this will provide the most significant boost in damage and overall performance.
• Use the right stones: Make sure you are using the correct type of Smithing Stones for your weapon. Regular Smithing Stones are used for most weapons, while Somber Smithing Stones are used for unique and legendary weapons.
• Farm for stones: If you need more Smithing Stones, you can farm them from enemies or mine them from deposits in various locations throughout the Lands Between.
• Don't over-upgrade: It is generally not necessary to upgrade weapons to the maximum level, as each upgrade becomes increasingly expensive. Consider stopping at a level that provides a good balance between damage and cost.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Upgrading too many weapons: Don't spread your resources too thin by upgrading multiple weapons at once. Focus on upgrading your main weapon first.
• Using the wrong stones: Make sure you are using the correct type of Smithing Stones for your weapon. Using the wrong type of stones will not damage your weapon, but it will not provide any benefits either.
• Over-farming: Don't waste your time farming for more Smithing Stones than you need. Once you have enough stones to upgrade your main weapon to a level that meets your needs, you can stop farming.
