You will need to get your hands on three important items if you wish to upgrade weapons, Smithing Stones, the Smithing Table, and Runes. Luckily, you will be able to get these items early in the game. But the Smithing Table can only take up to +3 upgrade, and if you wish to enhance your weapon further, you will have to visit Master Hewg the Blacksmith at the Roundtable Hold. The Smithing Table can be found in the Church of Elleh, next to Kale the Merchant. Interact with the table to get the strengthened armament menu, and choose which weapon you wish you upgrade. You will need the required Smithing Stones and Runes to make the upgrade. Once you have a chance to visit Master Hewg, he will help you to upgrade your weapons and shields further, from +10 to +25. Upgrading weapons also improve their stats and scaling, which will make them more powerful to use.
Each weapon upgrade will require one of the two types of Smithing Stones, depending on the weapon: Regular Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones. Normal weapons will need more regular Smithing Stones for upgrades, while special weapons need Somber Smithing Stones. Smithing Stones can be found all over the Lands Between, especially in Limgrave Tunnels, and purchased from merchants. With each upgrade, it will consume more Smithing Stone and Runes, so you have to keep some on you at all times.
