>300 different weapons
>game gives you just enough "max rank for the area" for one weapon
what is the point
300 different weapons
git gud lol
its infinite though
So you play the game multiple time to try different weapons.
>can upgrade like 10 different somber weapons to max level at any given point
>can only upgrade a single regular weapon to way lower than the somber equivalents
what the fuck was miyazaki smoking when he distributed smithing stones around the world?

I don't wanna play a game this long multiple times wtf
even then, I might do it max TWO TIMES
that means I still ignore 98% of all weapons in the game
You can upgrade as many weapons as you want to +24 or +9. And the difference between +24/+9 and +25/+10 isn't nearly as significant as you think. If you can't complete the game with a nearly maxed out weapon then it's a skill issue, not a smithing stone issue.
shitty devs
that's all there is to it
>that means I still ignore 98% of all weapons in the game
Considering 98% of the weapons can be ignored because just worse then the other 2%, seem fair.
Japanese game design, I guess
