Quest: N/A
There is a total of 39 weapons that you'll need to upgrade to unlock this trophy. This total includes 13 small swords, 9 large swords, 9 spears, and 8 combat bracers. Aside from beast hide, all other upgrade materials can be purchased from vendors throughout the game. To do the level 4 upgrades, you'll need to find the blacksmith in the
