How to read this record
- Damage
- four numbers: physical / magic / fire / lightning. 80/0/0/0 is 80 physical and nothing else.
- Scaling grades
- four letters in the order Strength / Dexterity / Intelligence / Faith. D/C/-/- means Strength D, Dexterity C, no Intelligence or Faith. A dash means that stat adds nothing.
- What the letters mean
- S 141%+, A 101-140%, B 81-100%, C 51-80%, D 25-50%, E 1-24% bonus. They are ranges, not exact numbers. A few weapons (Balder Side Sword, Uchigatana) show A at +14/+15 even though the listed bonus is 85%, a quirk of the game that players report; the Ledger keeps the sourced letters.
- Requirements
- the stats you need to use the weapon without a damage penalty. “Two-handed Strength” is the Strength needed when you hold it in both hands, which is lower.
- Weight and durability
- weight counts toward your equip load; durability is how much use the weapon takes before it needs repair. The game shows no unit for either.
- Upgrade tables
- Level is the upgrade (+0, +1...). Bonus is the scaling grade at that level. Material and Souls are the cost to reach it. Aux / DR holds the auxiliary figures exactly as the source lists them; the Ledger does not interpret them.
- Source volume
- which volume of the source wiki the weapon came from; it has no effect on gameplay.
Chaos weapons gain their extra damage from your Humanity, not from stats, so the Bonus column shows dashes. Lightning and Fire paths also show dashes because they have no stat scaling.

- Note
- Dragon-tier weapon (Dragon Scale material), +5 cap; one of only a handful of Dragon weapons with genuine scaling (pure Magic damage, 136% INT). Obtained by cutting the middle tail of Seath the Scaleless. Increases Magic Defense by +40 while equipped. Excellent for INT builds, notably strong against the Four Kings, Prowling Demons, Undead Crystal Soldiers, Sentinels, and Silver/Black Knights. One-handed strong attack releases a vertical energy-wave slash (20 durability); two-handed strong attack releases a horizontal energy wave with splash damage on impact (40 durability). Scaling letter jumps A to S at +1, matching the standard scaling-Dragon-weapon pattern.
