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.
3 Blood Stone Shards
3 Twin Blood Stone Shards
3 Blood Stone Chunks
1 Blood Rock
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.

I find it funny that if someone got Isekai’ed into the Bloodborne universe they’d have access pretty quickly to items we have to work hard for
That is some absolutely SICK artwork. Gives me chills to see every weapon in such a pretty style.

If a weapon like the tonitrus or boom hammer has an innate element, would it be better to pump up the elemental damage and give it more lightning/fire or increase its base damage? Or is there a way to increase both and make it even more effective?

Guys +%Elemental gems actually do add, in the minimum, a fire or bolt animation to the weapon/enemy when attacked. This includes weapons such as burial blade, where damage isn't converted to fire.
I am not talking about Add Fire Attack or Add Bolt Attack Gems where it is a flat rate, I'm talking about the % gems that usually convert the Sawspear or Threaded Cane into an elemental weapon using it's base damage as the modifier.

Why can't we take Gehrman Sythe and Gun that are literally just sitting there next to the table? Seriously I know From Soft wanted to show Gehrmans weapons but they could have put them in a display case or something.
