The Workshop is the upgrade mechanic of Bloodborne. By accessing this forge, the player can use Blood Stones and Blood Gems to fortify or repair weapons.
Location
- The Workshop is located in the Hunter's Dream, next to the fireplace.
Upgrade Menu
- You may use Blood Stone Shards, Twin Blood Stone Shards, Blood Stone Chunks and Blood Rocks to strengthen your Weapons. This is done in the normal +1, +2, +3 fashion.
- Fortifying a weapon will also unlock its Blood Gem Imprint slots.
- Fortify to +1 to unlock the 1st, +3 the 2nd and +6 the 3rd slot.
- Fortifying a weapon automatically repairs them.
- You may use Blood Echoes to restore the durability of your weapons. Repairing may only be done at the workshop.
- Weapons can also be infused with Blood Gems, to further strengthen them or to add additional properties.
- The Blood Gem Workshop Tool is needed to infuse weapons with Blood Gems.
- Blood Gem Imprints will unlock as you upgrade the weapon. (see Fortify above)
- Blood Gems also have to match the shape of the Imprint to be able to apply them. The Droplet variant, however, fits any shape.
- Blood Gems are reusable. Meaning you can swap out one Gem with another, to change the properties of the weapon, without consuming the gem. This also allows you to transfer your gems between weapons.
- Gems effects are tied to the weapon they are attached to, rather than acting as global boost to your character. i.e. damage boosting gems in your trick weapon won't affect your pistol.
