2nd part of upgrade tree?

[derrickd111]

I want to make better weapons. but now I have the best dual blades (in one tree) that I can currently.  I know from looking online that they can be further upgraded, (although they never say how) but the whole right side of the upgrade trees is locked ("under development") I am only in the Coral Highlands now, does this eventually unlock or do I have to do something special?

You unlock more upgrade paths as you complete the story.

Once you've unlocked weapon upgrades with 'Rank 8' on them you'll know you've pretty much unlocked the highest rank weapons for the time being, at least until they bring in G-Rank stuff

Weapons can be further upgrades after HR50 - you get to augment them with some small (but sweet) skills.  Same for armor.

UPDATE:  I did get access to some of mid tier ones now (only HR 10) but I don't really have the materials for most of them yet.
