Don't understand weapon stats

[dsh0221]

Scimitar strength 7E, E+15 and Dexterity 13B, A+15 What do the letters stand for in all the stats in the game? I am a beginner and am trying to understand what I come in contact with. Thanks!!!

The letters indicate how well the damage scales with that stat.
With 40 STR, a class A STR weapon can deal almost 100% more damage...
EDIT: B is around 90% then you get the picture... (D is still noticeable, but E is negligible)
EDIT2: Then you can upgrade weapons to +15 (another 150% damage).
Some moves deal more damage generally, like overhead strikes & thrusts.
Mix that with 2 handed strong attacks (another 150% increase, sometimes more) and you sometimes can get up to 7 times the base damage of a weapon (before ennemy armor reduction)

The number is the minimum stat you need to use it with 1 hand, with 2 hands it shuld only be necessary to raise the stat to 70% of the value shown, and every point over that adds to the damage based upon the scaling modifier. The modifiers rank from best to worst: S, A, B, C, D, E. If no number or scaling modifier is shown for an item, it does not scale with that stat.
Stats from left to right are strength, dexterity, magic, and faith.

For your scimitar it means that the basic weapon with +0 requires 7 strength and 13 dexterity to use it with 1 hand. Any of strength or dex over those will improve the damage based on the E and B scaling. Raised to +15 the scaling modifier for dexterity actually improves so it doesnt just deal more base damage if you have more dexterity you get even more damage out of it.

The scaling system is why katanas tend to be so effective. They have rather low requriements, effective movesets with broad swings and thrusts, decent basic damage and have great modifiers when augmented to +15.
