Source version, supported systems & project templates
2011 original game · pinned Dark Souls-API commit eeb01a32; source guide revision 6
This API contains weapons only: it is not a full item, shield, armor, or crafting catalog, and some route upgrade variants are not represented. API-wide family routes include the shared Titanite quantities but omit Souls because the source fee is documented only for the Short Sword +3 to +4 example. The named Short Sword path retains its source-listed 200-Soul fee per step. Unique-weapon Twinkling Titanite costs, ascended elemental routes, boss-soul forging, and armor upgrades are outside this bundle. Ember unlocks and Smithbox acquisition are not consumed ingredients.
