Upgrading Weapons Explained

Learn how to upgrade weapons in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes! Discover where to find Blacksmiths, the costs involved, and how HQ upgrades impact your weapon levels.

Alright, let's talk about making your weapons hit harder in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes! Keeping your gear up to snuff is super important, especially as you get deeper into the game. If your weapons are lagging behind, you'll find yourself struggling against enemies, and trust me, you don't want that. The good news is that upgrading is pretty straightforward, but it does involve a few key locations and requirements.

You'll be doing most of your weapon upgrading at the Blacksmith. These handy NPCs can be found in major settlements throughout the world, and later on, you'll get access to one at your own Headquarters (HQ) once you complete the main story quest 'Separate Ways'. Keep in mind that your weapon's name will actually change when it reaches levels 7 and 15, which is a neat little indicator of its power!

The really high-level upgrades, especially for reaching the max weapon levels, depend on having your Smithy in your HQ upgraded as much as possible. This means your HQ itself needs to be at its highest rank, Rank 4. If you're wondering how to get your base to that point, you'll want to check out our guide on 'Upgrading Your Base'.
