How tf do weapons levels/profiecency work? My low level stuff is better?

[Motivated Raccoon]

I have the neglected great sword at lv like...13 and have found it 3 times at higher levels, all with worse dmg because worse scaling. Do these weapons level with you or something? Why are the higher level things worse.

i'm assuming those weapons are from the demo? they were just way more powerful in that version

At some point you can upgrade stuff, even then you have to continue upgrading to outpace the starting stuff for some reason, but it will out scale the starting stuff if you do.

If you carried over your demo save anything you found during the demo will have better scaling(since it was from pre-nerf) than the full game counter-parts of those weapons.

I didn't carry over my save because I didn't play the demo, but from what other people have mentioned the scaling values were higher in the demo.

The demo weapons can be found in the main game without carrying a save over, at least the Greatsword can.

I do not know if the scaling is as strong as it was in the demo, but it's definitely overtuned compared to literally anything else you can get.

naw. this isn't true. i have videos of gameplay from the demo. they didn't have B+ scaling in it. when it transfered over the neglected GS got B+ scaling for w/e reason.

(this is from my playthrough where i beat the demo in 45 minutes)

i'm lvl 80 and i'm still using the Neglected GS from the starting area. later (much later), you'll be able to increase its level. right now my GS has 683 raw at lvl 72 and the next highest GS does 401, also at 72. in other words neglected has 70% more raw than the best next weapon. enjoy it while it lasts, i'm sure it'll be patched

except they don't seem op, more like other weapons need a buff imo
