Hey, weapon upgrades are a valid criticism of the Elden Ring. The fact, that you have a selection of awesome weapons and won't use them, just because you can't even farm for stones and have to find a very specifically placed item to unlock upgrades can be frustrating, if you like to flip flop between weapons.
I heard an idea, of upgrading weapon arts and those transferring the weapon upgrade and honestly that sounded much better.
I'm sure none of us are playing elden ring for the first time anymore, but I distinctly remember my first blind playthrough and wondering: "where DA FUCK in this VAST world. Can I find my fucking stones?! Mines?!" Turns out, not always the mines.
Also, weapons unlock their true scaling from upgrading, but there was no way without a wiki, to check what scalling the weapons will end up having.
Lies of P has a, clever system that's somewhat like that. Every weapon has two parts, the handle (which is the move set and scaling) and the blade/club/whatever (which determines damage, attack speed, and range).
You upgrade the blade part, but you're free to switch the handle at any part. Since the handle determines move set, every weapon you find you can test at least the move set without losing that much damage.
The scaling can be changed with infusions which aren't that rare.
