Normal armament upgrades
Normal armaments use Smithing Stones and can be upgraded to +25; upgrades increase attack power, stamina damage, and guard boost.
How it works
The upgrade passage says upgrades universally increase attack power, stamina damage, and guard boost. It lists Smithing Stones as the material for normal armaments and +25 as their maximum level. The weapons passage adds that upgrades may improve scaling in some cases. The supplied sources distinguish this track from special armaments upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones.
