Source version, supported systems & project templates

Base-game weapon API catalog and standard/somber reinforcement routes; API data documented as 2022; API pages fetched 2026-10-24; Uchigatana oldid=73734; Coded Sword oldid=48224

Rune reinforcement fees are omitted because the upgrade tables do not list their quantities; item cost bills therefore omit Runes. The API has no upgrade-family field, so the generic family routes are not assigned automatically to individual weapon records. The API describes the endpoint as returning all obtainable game weapons and its 2022-documented catalog contains no Shadow of the Erdtree items. Affinity and Ash of War transformations are outside scope.
