Evidence for this record

Sources: darksouls.wikidot.com · darksouls.wiki.fextralife.com

  • Third-party research: Published by an unaffiliated researcher and recorded as their finding.

4 fields in this record are marked not documented: the sources checked gave no value, so none is guessed.

What these labels mean

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
Durability 180 is the confirmed in-game value (PS4). CONFIRMED IN- GAME BUG (documented by the source wiki itself, not a wiki error): the base weapon's own in-game attack-type field incorrectly displays 'Thrust' when it actually deals Strike damage - this display bug self- corrects once the weapon is ascended along any infusion path. Bleed build-up 33/strike. Standard 200 souls/upgrade. LIKELY WIKIDOT TYPO (stated, not corrected): Lightning +0 shows fire/lightning resistance '45/10/30/42' where every other weapon's Lightning +0 shows the unmodified base value (30) - the 42 appears to be copy- pasted from the +5 row.

Requirements note
HYPOTHESIS (not confirmed): the already-sourced two_hand_str values (Dagger STR5->2H4, Winged Spear STR13->2H9, Man-Serpent Greatsword STR24->2H16, Black Knight Sword STR20->2H14) all four satisfy ceil(str_requirement * 2/3) exactly. This is a derived hypothesis from pattern-matching already-sourced data, not itself a citation, and is NOT promoted to a documented two_hand_str fact -- see two_hand_str_hypothesis field.
