    Basically I intend to run a basic Balder Side Sword w/ Parrying Dagger set up with my Darkmoon Blade buff to top it off. At present I'm just wondering which upgrade path is going to work best for me, +15 or Crystal +5.

    Crystal works better, but you can't repair it. And the Side Swords aren't that common a drop. You're warned.

    +15 if you dont want to be farming up new swords all the time, crystal weapons cant be repaired.

    I have several Side Swords so supply isn't a problem. So in terms of damage per hit Crystal seems like the way to go. Also I have repaired the crystalline armour before but then again it might be different as its not a weapon.

    Yeah you can't repair anything crystal aside the armor. It's a little silly like that but it is what it is :/

    If you don't already have it there is also a ring you can buy from Shiva when part of the forest hunters that decreases the amount of durability you use up.

    I didn't think of that. Good call. I plan on practicing ripostes so the durability shouldnt decrease all that much. Thanks all. Now off to the Giant Blacksmith for me.

    I vote for +15 but thats just me. It seems much more practical. I don't think the difference is worth the effort myself.

    I agree with Crusader. And shouldn't this be in the PVP forum?
