How to Upgrade Weapons in the DLC

Upgrade Weapons Through Smithing Masters

Blacksmith Hewg

There are no new methods of upgrading your weapons in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Just like in the base game, you can upgrade your weapons through Smithing Master Hewg at Roundtable Hold or Smithing Master Iji at Liurnia of the Lakes.

Only Upgrade To Max Level if Finalizing Your Build

Since max upgrade stones are limited per New Game cycle, you should only +25 or +10 a weapon if you plan to use it as your main weapon for the DLC. Otherwise, it would be better to save them up in case one of the new DLC weapons appeals to your playstyle.
