Blood Gems are powerful enhancements that can be slotted into your weapons to boost their damage, add elemental effects, or provide other bonuses. Each weapon has a specific number and type of gem slots.

Blood Gem Types:

  • Radial, Triangle, Waning: Shape dictates which slots they fit into.
  • Nourishing: Increases all attack types.
  • Physical: Increases physical attack.
  • Elemental (Fire, Bolt, Arcane): Converts weapon damage to that element and adds scaling.
  • Bloodtinge: Increases blood attack.
  • Poison/Rapid Poison: Adds status effects.

Weapon Fortification: At the workbench in the Hunter's Dream, you can upgrade your weapons using Blood Stone Shards, Twin Blood Stone Shards, Blood Stone Chunks, and Blood Rocks. Each upgrade level increases the weapon's base damage and scaling. Max level is +10.
