Need help upgrading weapons

I'm kinda stuck in an odd situation. I gave Ed the Red Hot Demon's Soul, so now I should be allowed to do advanced upgrades, right? Well, its like he only wants to do certain upgrades. For instance, he allows me upgrade a Crescent Scimitar (already found a +1), however, he won't give me the option to create a Moon Kilij, Uchi etc. Am i missing something really obvious? I have boat loads of stones, more then are necessary to make just about every type of weapon. Do I need to find a +1 version of a weapon, before I can upgrade? Are we supposed to upgrade to + whatever, before we can add the enhanced titles such as Moon, Crescent, etc. Tonight, Ed randomly decided to give me the option to create a Sharp Spiked shield, once I upgraded my "normal" spiked shield to +6. What am I missing here, or is my game just glitched? I'm on my first play through, soul level 52. Any help would be greatly appreciated…

I made the same mistake when I first tried upgrading. Some weapons require you reach +3, +6, or sometimes no upgrade at all before you can take the advanced upgrade path. As you've seen with spiked shield, it takes +6 to reach the sharp path. Check the weapons section of the wiki to see what level your basic weapon has to be before it can receive advanced upgrades. Also, be careful not to upgrade past the required level. For instance, if you upgrade your spiked shield to +7, you can no longer upgrade to sharp unless you use shard of meltstone to make it +0 and then upgrade back to +6. I hope that made sense!

Wow thanks, I thought I had the weapons figured out, but clearly not. Back to the depths of the wiki. Thanks again
