Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin · Weapon upgrade path
Normal reinforcement
Titanite reinforcement raises a weapon’s physical base damage in increments and also increases its attribute scaling.
How it works
The source describes standard reinforcement as independent of infusion level and available from blacksmiths. Titanite upgrades add 10% of the un-upgraded base damage per level; standard equipment progresses to +10. The upgrade materials listed are Titanite Shard through +3, Large Titanite Shard through +6, Titanite Chunk through +9, and Titanite Slab for +10. Scaling also increases as weapons are upgraded.
