Upgrading your armor and weapons is a necessary component of any Soulsborne game, which allows you to take more hits while dealing out greater damage. And while we are told that this can be done by providing the Blacksmith with materials and souls, we're never told that different upgrade paths exist in Demon's Souls.

So rather than sticking to the basic upgrade to your weapon's physicality, experiment a little. Find yourself some 'moonlightstone' and check whether the weapon you're carrying can be transformed into something a bit more magical. Be aware though, as dabbling with magic could end up changing the overall stat scaling of that weapon, so check before jumping right into it.

Oh, and keep a lookout for Crystal Lizards. As cute as these little critters can be, slaughtering them will yield some amazing crafting materials.
