Weapon enhancement is a base technique of increasing your chances during fights - Enhancement | Equipment - Equipment - Dark Souls Game Guide & Walkthrough

Weapon enhancement is a base technique of increasing your chances during fights. It is worth to enhance almost every weapon, but you have to think which one you need most. Basic weapons can be enhanced at the bonfires after purchasing proper items. Advanced manipulations are done by blacksmiths.

In order to get an access to all types of enhancements, you have to find items called Ember and give these to blacksmiths. You will also need souls and materials.

Blacksmiths in game are:

Rickert of Vinheim - probably first blacksmith you encounter. He is located in New Londo Ruins, close to elevators on side stairs.

Blacksmith Andrei - is located on the way between Undead Parish and Darkroot Garden.

Giant Blacksmith - this blacksmith is located in Anor Londo. Near the fight arena with Ornstein and Smough.

Blacksmith Vamos - blacksmith living in Catacombs. He can be found in later part of the location (check the location's description to find him).
