You'll find numerous weapons as you venture forth in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Curiously enough, it might seem that you're unable to boost a single weapon's strength further, and your only recourse is to find a new one. Thankfully, there are actually ways to further tweak and strengthen your armaments. Here's our guide on how to reforge and upgrade weapons in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.How to reforge and upgrade weapons in Dynasty Warriors: OriginsTo be clear, the Dynasty Warriors: Origins weapon upgrade and reforge function can only be unlocked once you've completed the campaign. So, for the most part, you're likely to just make use of the gear pieces dropped by officers. We don't actually recommend spending gold to buy new equipment.In any case, before we discuss the game's weapon upgrade and reforge mechanics further, we have a couple of related guides that you might want to check out:All unlockable weapons - This guide discusses when certain weapons dropped for us during our playthrough.How long to beat the campaign - This gives you a clear idea on how long it takes to pull a Cody Rhodes by finishing the story. Where to get duplicates for weapon reforging and upgrading?The reforging mechanic can be accessed via any city on the world map. Two options will then appear: Reforge Traits and Reforge Power.Both actions require that you consume/infuse weapons that have the same classification/tier and name, not just the same type. Using Lances as an example, the Marauding Serpent (tier 5) isn't compatible with the Marauding Serpent EX (tier 6). As such, you really need a lot of duplicates.As mentioned, it's best to replay battles so you can pick up all sorts of gear pieces from defeated officers. Buying from the weapons shop is certainly an option, but it's extremely costly, especially since the item you're purchasing will likely be used as infusion fodder. How does reforging power work?Reforging power is fairly straightforward. Select the weapon that needs its power/strength/damage to be boosted, and pick a duplicate that will be used as infusion fodder. The duplicate's upgrade level +1 point will be added to the main weapon.Most weapon upgrade levels are capped at +99. Lastly, note that the cost increases depending on the upgrade level of the gear being destroyed. Here's an example:Main weapon: Cobalt Storm EX +39Duplicate/fodder: Cobalt Storm EX +15Your main weapon gains +16 levels in total. It will become Cobalt Storm EX +55. How does reforging traits work?Reforging traits is a more precise activity, one that you really need to be mindful of. Basically, weapons can roll with multiple random traits/perks. This mechanic allows you to choose specific perks so they can replace the ones you don't need. For example, your preferred weapon has:Extends input window for parries.Boosts damage to officers by 10%.Reduces the charge time for strong attacks.Now, that third one might not be to your liking, so you could opt to change it to another perk that comes from a duplicate. However, bear in mind that this function does not increase the number of perk/trait slots that a weapon initially rolled with. It only allows you to replace one option. As such, it's better to find a weapon that rolled multiple trait slots by default.That does it for our guide on how to reforge and upgrade weapons in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
