Your Guide to Reforging and Upgrading Weapons in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
If you’re ready to enhance your arsenal in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, there’s a key point to remember: the ability to upgrade and reforge your weapons only kicks in after you’ve completed the main story.
So, during your first run, you’ll depend heavily on the loot you snag from defeated enemy officers instead of spending gold on new gear.
Reforging Your Weapons
To begin your journey into weapon reforging, head to any city visible on the world map.
Here, you’ll find two primary options at your disposal: “Reforge Traits” and “Reforge Power.”
When it comes to weapon upgrades, both reforging processes necessitate that you use weapons of the same classification and name.
It’s vital to understand that you can’t merge weapons from different tiers—take, for example, the Marauding Serpent at tier 5 and its upgraded tier 6 variant, the Marauding Serpent EX.
You’ll need to collect several duplicates of the same weapon type to proceed.
Upgrading Weapon Power
Upgrading weapon power is a straightforward task.
First, pick the weapon you want to improve, then choose a duplicate that will serve as the source for infusion.
The level of this duplicate will add an extra point to your primary weapon’s strength.
Usually, the maximum enhancement level caps out at +99.
Keep in mind that the cost of these enhancements will rise along with the upgrade level of the sacrificed weapon.
Conversely, reforging traits offers a more strategic challenge.
Weapons can come with various random traits or perks, and this feature allows you to swap out a less desirable perk for something more advantageous.
However, it’s essential to note that while you can replace an existing perk, you cannot increase the total number of perk slots available on the weapon.
