Aerondight not leveling up?

[ewson]

Second playthrough on NG+. Just got the Aerondight, leveled it up by a few points, but now it gets stuck at 10 hits. When I kill a monster at that stage it should reset and increase the damage right? But it just stays at 10.

10 must be the maximum level

When your Aerondight is maxed out for your current player level (which can be checked by reading the rest of the enchantment) it will top off at 10 without resetting. This is actually nice because it means for the rest of your current level that 10 unchallenged, connected swings will result in 100% crit rate.

Stormsong the Fallen is correct. I just wasn't getting it...I had this same problem and after a lot of thinking I realize the wording is confusing (for people like me) on the sword. When it says this:

Killing a foe with a fully loaded sword will expend it's charge to permanently increase the weapon's damage. Damage is increased by: 50 (to a maximum of 50 - increasing along with your character level).

Maybe yours says 40, or 30, or 60...the point is, when you are 50/50 you are already maxed out. You only need to work on it when you are 30/50...or 20/40...or whichever fraction under 1.

So if your sword is stuck at 10 hits, you are already maxed out. As an added bonus, you get the 100% crit rate.

mine is stuck at 10 hits but says its at 146(to a max of 170....) so I should have like 220 more arondight hits before it capped but it wont discharge the 10 whats up!?!? i'm level 53 in a NG+ ***edit i'm trippin its leveling up correctly

My Aerondight is also stuck it seems like. I'm new player my level is 42 and my Aerondight is stuck on 41 and it says (to maximum of 20-increasing along with your character level). Even after stacking 10 it's not going up... It is alright this way?
