Initial Upgrades

• It is worth noting that:
  • the basic upgrade path to +5 can be done by anyone (including the player with an armor smithbox/weapon smithbox),
  • Magic +5 can be done by default by Rickert of Vinheim,
  • Fire +5 can be done by default by Vamos.
  • Ascenion from +5 to +6 and +10 to +11, as well as any other ascenion only needs to be performed by the specific blacksmith at the initial level of ascenion; additional upgrades can be done like any other upgrade (at any blacksmith or with the appopriate smithbox).
