How to get new weapons in Like a Dragon Ishin
Before you can think about upgrading or creating new weapons, you must have basic weapons in your inventory. This is because you will need basic weapons to create new ones or upgrade them.

The other arms dealer is in Umekojicho in Rakugai, slightly northwest of Shady Bar:

How to create new teams in Like a Dragon Ishin
To create new equipment in Like a Dragon Ishin, you will need to visit a blacksmith.
Then, to create any new basic equipment you will need:
- Basic equipment: you need it to be able to create something new.
- Materials: Each item needs a different amount/type of materials.
- Hammers: These are necessary to make any new equipment.
- Money – Of course, new things are not cheap, so having a lot of money is essential.
Making new pieces uses one of the existing elements as a base for the new one. So make sure you definitely want to replace the item you’ve chosen to update, there’s no going back after creating the new one.
When you are ready to create a new piece, talk to the blacksmith.
Next, select the ‘Create’ option from the menu that appears and then select which item you want to make.
Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to select which element you want to use as a base. You will be able to choose between these from your inventory. However, you will only be able to use an item that is the same type as the one you want to create, such as using a Katana as a base to create a new Katana.
Now that you’ve done that, you need to choose the hammer you want to use.
All you need to do is confirm that you agree with the estimated cost and then continue making the new part.

How to upgrade equipment in Like a Dragon Ishin
Upgrading your equipment in Like a Dragon Ishin is actually called “Upgrading” and you can also do it at a blacksmith.
When you want to upgrade an item, talk to the blacksmith and choose the “Upgrade” option. Next, choose the weapon you want to upgrade from your inventory.
Next, select the Seal you want to apply to the weapon. The chance of the Seal being successfully applied to the weapon can be seen in the lower right corner of the screen after highlighting the Seal.
Confirm that this is what you want to do and then Ryoma will move on to try to upgrade the weapon.
After a short animation, you will find out if you succeeded or not. It is important to remember that you can fail when upgrading a weapon. Not all upgrades will work and different Seals have different success rates.
How to get crafting materials in Like a Dragon Ishin
Crafting materials are important, of course, as they are the things you need to be able to craft new equipment and upgrade existing parts.
Materials can be collected in several ways, but if you are in a hurry, the easiest way is to buy them from the materials seller in Kurogane Smithing.
These are the other vendors that sell craft materials:
- Ichikura General Goods
- Ebisu Pawn Fushimi
- Ebisu Pawn Rakunai
- Don Quixote
You can also collect materials as you spend time exploring the map and completing sub-story quests. While exploring outside of the main story missions, we found that these were the best ways to get materials for free:
- Investigating pots with lids
- Beat up the troublemakers
You can also sometimes win materials by using prize tickets on the Fushimi prize wheel, although you cannot guarantee that you will win the piece you want.
Hammers in Like a Dragon Ishin
Hammers are an important part of creating new equipment and weapons in Like a Dragon Ishin. Without them, nothing new can be done.
There are five types of hammers, and the type of hammer you use will determine the grade (quality) of the item you produce.
In order from lowest to highest quality, the types of hammers are:
- iron hammer
- bronze hammer
- silver hammer
- golden hammer
- Kiwami Hammer
Once an item is created, you cannot change its quality, so be selective when choosing which hammer to use.

Now, the next task is to get the Hammers, but it’s a lot easier than you think.

You can also collect hammers in other ways by simply playing the story and spending time exploring the map:
- Pick them up on the streets: they can be shiny objects on the ground.
- Picking them up from defeated enemies: After defeating an enemy, they can drop one or two hammers.
- Completing Side Stories: Some side story quests will reward you with hammers upon completion.

Stamps in Like a Dragon Ishin
Sigils are the things you use to apply upgrades to your equipment, it’s the item that upgrades them.
Different Seals have different effects and enhance specific parts of an item, so it’s worth taking your time to review the ones you have before deciding which one to use.
There are three classes of Seal, and here they are all in order from lowest level to highest:
You can tell what level a Seal is by looking at the outline of the Seal itself. The bronze will have no outline, the silver will have a gray one, and the gold will have a gold one.
You can stack Seals, which can improve their power and effectiveness. However, if you insert a Seal into a weapon without success, you risk breaking the Seal. The higher the level of the Seal, the more likely it is not to be embedded.
How to get stamps in Like a Dragon Ishin
We found that the best way to get seals in Like a Dragon Ishin is to buy them from the materials vendor in Kurogane Smithing.
