Dragonsplague is a rare disease passed from Pawn to Pawn in Dragon’s Dogma 2 that should be treated immediately if symptoms are seen.
This is where enhancements come in, letting players make a single piece of gear better through gold and upgrade materials. There are five different forms of enhancements, each upgrading your weapons and armor in different ways; here’s what each one does.
Every Enhancement Type Explained
In total, there are five enhancement types. Each weapon or armor piece can only be enhanced three times by any combination of the four major enhancement types.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: 15 Best Weapons In The Game
Choosing the best weapons in any game is hard. We scoured the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 to present to you the best weapons available in the game.
Which Enhancement Type Is Best
Every enhancement type serves a purpose, and what’s best comes down to your playstyle and Vocation.Melee-focused characters should look towards Battahli or Dwarven forgings, while magic-focused characters should always prioritize Eleven. Vermundian forging is useful early on, but other forging types will quickly outclass what you need for an upgrade. No matter what upgrades you choose for the first three, the fourth and final upgrade will always be the best; Wyrmfire.
Wyrmfire upgrades are the best but will require a lot of WLC to get. No matter what upgrade is being done on a weapon, the first upgrade will always only cost gold.
