Workshop

  • Once you have access to the Hunter's Dream, you can approach the Workbench in the Workshop and interact to upgrade your weapons. You'll need Blood Echoes and Blood Stones. Select "Fortify" from the menu to begin upgrading. This is the single most important aspect of character progression, so choose wisely when spending Blood Stones. There are four levels of Blood Stone: Blood Stone Shards, Twin Blood Stone Shards, Blood Stone Chunks, and Blood Rocks.
  • Weapons can be upgraded to a maximum of +10 using Blood Stone Shard (+1 through +3), Twin Blood Stone Shards (+4 through +6), Blood Stone Chunk (+7 through +9) and Blood Rock for +10.
  • In addition to normal weapon upgrades using Blood Echoes and materials, you can also take Blood Gems earned mainly by defeating enemies to strengthen your weapons and add special characteristics. Once you've obtained Blood Gem Workshop Tool, you'll be able to attach Blood Gems to your weapons and benefit from their effects.
  • Blood Gems are rare items that give various boosts or bonuses to weapons, such as HP recovery or adding elemental damage. Most weapons have three slots for gems, and gem slots are unlocked by upgrading the weapon. Gem slots have specific shapes that only accept compatible gem shapes. Blood gems are reusable, and can be transferred from one weapon to another.

Blood Gems

  • In order to attach gems to your weapons, you'll need three things. First, you'll need a gem. Second, you'll need a weapon that can equip a gem; this means you'll need to upgrade your weapon to unlock gem slots. Finally, you'll need the Blood Gem Workshop Tool. It can be obtained just before entering Oedon Chapel in Central Yharnam. With those elements in place, you can attach gems to your weapon by approaching the workbench in the Hunter's Dream and selecting "Blood Gem Fortification." More details for individual effects can be found in Gem Effects page.

Ritual Materials

  • Basic and Rite crafting materials can be found mainly in the Chalice Labyrinths from loot chests or enemy drops, with the rarer ones required to craft specific labyrinths also found in the main quest. Progressing though the game, acquiring Hunter Badges, defeating bosses and clearing labyrinths will also unlock certain Basic Materials in both Bath Messenger Blood Echoes and Insight shops in the Hunter's Dream. Ritual Blood and Tomb Mold basic materials have a numerical value in brackets next to them. These correspond to the depth/difficulty of a labyrinth, and can also be found on the same depth or one depth below. The highest level of both of these items (5), can be purchased from Bath Messengers since Patch v1.07 (NG+).
