Upgrading Weapons questions

Lemme try summing it up for you.
First, choose the weapon you want upgraded.
Then, get it blessed to the god of your choice, as high as you can get it, because you can't bless it again after you prep it. Also, note that ever "+" on the weapon raises the wc and damage od the weapon by 1 point.

Then, choose a number of slots you'd like. At a low level, I suggest getting no more than 10 slots (basically 100 dias.) In the end, you'd want to save up around 676 dias, which equals 26 slots, which is the max you'll ever be able to handle.

Now, gather a Prepare Weapon scroll.

Drop the dias with /drop diamond, use /mark weaponnamehere, and then double click your PW scroll. Tada! You now have prepared your weapon.

The next step is the most important one, as it decides the future of your weapon.

You can either add on stat bonus scrolls, which raises the corresponding stat, though this is best used for raising wisdom and pow, to obtain relics from your god at low wisdom levels. Note, it requires a number of corresponding stat+ potions as well to use these scrolls.

Next, you can also choose to use EW scrolls, which count as if you blessed the weapon again, but take up slots. I'm not sure if you can breach the max +s you'd be able to normally get with blessings (by that, I mean at level 107 wisdom), but you probably can. Remember, this adds +1 wc, and +1 damage, and the effectiveness of the attacktypes raises. (Like, the potency of Ogma's poison.)

Next, you have IWD scrolls. Very basic. Just adds 5 damage to the weapon. VERY useful, and the most often used scroll, besides EAs.

Finally, you have the Lower Weapon Weight scrolls. As of now, they are rather useless since no one can fill enough slots to make this useful. You see, as you fill slots in a weapon, the weight of it rises. For example, my Inferno Sword weighs over 60 kg with 9 improves. This will become a necessity, when your weapons become so powerful they weigh more than your armor, though if you have sufficient str, this really wouldn't bother you.
