Upgrades
Weapon upgrades use tiered materials that scale with the level you are pushing:
- Levels 2-4 use Crude materials.
- Levels 5-7 use Pure materials, and levels 8-9 use Distilled materials.
- Level 10 needs a Quintessential material, and only a handful exist in the whole game.

FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
Where do I find the Saber?
It is picked up during Chapter 1. The weapon page lists the region and how it fits into the toolkit.
Is the Saber required?
It is required at least once for the Jackknife trophy, which asks for damage from every weapon and Transmutation without dying.
Should I upgrade the Saber?
Only one weapon realistically reaches the highest upgrade tiers, because Quintessential materials are extremely limited; spend them on the weapon you actually fight bosses with.
