Illustrative starting example: 16 STR against a 24 STR requirement. No specific real weapon is being represented.
Standard two-handing boosts effective STR by 50%, rounded down for this calculation. For instance, 16 STR meets a 24 STR weapon requirement. DEX, INT, FAI and ARC never gain the same boost.
The game publisher's Advanced Stats guide confirms the standard 1.5× Strength rule and its 24/16 example. Certain paired and special weapon behaviors are exceptions; disable the boost where appropriate.
Meeting stat requirements does not calculate actual weapon damage, attack rating, skill scaling, buffs, stat-boosting equipment, affinities or upgrading costs. This is a minimum stat planner, not a substitute for verified weapon data.
All inputs are processed on your device. The optional URL contains only numerical attributes. See our accuracy policy and privacy policy.
Browse the community weapon database to select a named weapon and prefill its reported requirements here. Community values remain patch-unverified; confirm against your in-game equipment screen.
Once you meet the weapon's requirements, use the Smithing Stone Calculator to plan regular or somber materials needed for the next upgrade levels. It does not estimate attack rating.
