To the left of the merchant at this location is the smithing table.

If you interact with it, youll see that you might strengthen armament.

From here, youll be able to upgrade weapons and shields up to +3.

Limgrave Tunnels contain many Smithing Stones [1].

For the purposes of upgrading, there are two weapon types: Normal and Special.

The Normal weapons require regular Smithing Stones, while the Special ones need Somber Smithing Stones.

A Normal weapon can be upgraded to +25, while Special weapons cap out at +10.

Keep in mind, Special Weapons are typically rewarded for defeating bosses or uncovering secrets.

Not only does upgrading a weapon increase its base damage output, but it also improves scaling.

But, as you upgrade your weapons, this scaling stat will increase.
