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.

Overview

Class: Straight Swords
Source URL: darksouls.wikidot.com
Note: FIFTH restriction category found: 'Crystal weapon' - has real STR/DEX scaling (58%/52%) but CANNOT be upgraded OR repaired at all, fixed forever at base stats with only 60 durability. Distinct from Dark Hand's zero-scaling/zero-upgrade case: this one scales normally, it just can't be improved beyond its starting form. Roughly equivalent to a Longsword +8 in raw power at the point it's available. Note: 1 soul for Frampt (was 50 before patch 1.05). Cross-check: Base damage discrepancy resolved: wikidot and fromsoftwiki both confirm 150; Fandom shows 145 as an apparent outlier. NONE - fixed weapon, cannot be upgraded or repaired by any means.
