# Weapon Engineering

This is where the magic happens! Each weapon engineering building has the ability to construct powerful weapons that are an important piece in the LITD storyline. Each newly constructed weapon can either be stored for later usage or sent to the loading docks to be sold for light shards.

There are a total of six weapon buildings currently in the game. Each of the six can be separately upgraded 9 times, unlocking new weapons to craft as you go along. With each new weapon, their power and value will also increase steadily, giving players tough decisions on whether they should keep them or sell them.

#### The swordsmith is provided to the player in the beginning. All new weapon buildings must be newly acquired thereafter.

**Each weapon building has the same upgrade system, meaning as you upgrade each one individually, each one will unlock a new craftable weapon.**
