11 Overview
22  
33 Every craftable weapon in Windrose upgrades along a fixed item-level track from 1 to 15. Each upgrade is performed at the Weaponsmith Workshop and raises the weapon's ATK by a fixed amount per level. Weapons share a table structure with different material costs by weapon class; the tables below cover every class that has documented bands.
44  
55 Bands group adjacent levels together because those levels share the same recipe. The workshop tier required (Lvl 1, 2, or 3) scales with the band. Firearms require Master's Tools from Level 7 upward; standard melee weapons use Smithing Flux instead. After Level 15, a weapon is eligible for ascension; see Upgrade System for the ascension rules.

1717 Plague Pistol
1818  
1919 The Plague variant pistol uses a distinct recipe because it requires Ingot Arborum for every band. Copper Ingot costs are reduced compared to other pistols, but the Arborum requirement makes mid-Foothills sourcing a prerequisite.

3434 After Level 15: Ascension
3535  
3636 Once a weapon hits Item Level 15, ascension converts the Rare variant into its Epic counterpart. Ascension is a one-time recipe that uses Tumbaga Ingot (typical cost 7 for one-handed weapons, 9 for two-handed weapons). The Epic resulting weapon keeps the same upgrade level as the input, so pushing to 15 before ascending is usually the best path. See Upgrade System for the full mechanic and rarity-line explanation.
