Upgrading a weapon raises the number in its effect text. Each tier costs gold plus a growing count of the weapon's material, and the Legendary tier exists even though its full cost is not published.
Best use
The baseline gauntlets. Longer Berserk uptime is the whole point, so upgrade duration and keep the meter full between fights.
