OK guys, so I wanna know: are these worth using at all? Raw weapons can be had fairly early in the game, and a crystal halberd is discoverable in anor londo.

So how do we feel about these weapons? How do they compare vs. normal +15 weapons?

It strikes me that a crystal +5 weapon, enchanted with crystal magic weapon, would (or at least should) be the most powerful weapon in the game, with the obvious flaw that it cannot be repaired. How is this in practice?

Raw weapons trade scaling damage for base damage, so these should be better pure phyiscal dmg versions of these weapons at minimum stats. That is to say, if you are rocking min stats to weild a insert weapon here, a raw +5 should be functionally better than a +15 or crystal +5 in terms pure physical damage output. Is it?

Does anybody use these types of weapons? It seems to me that crystal weopons would be the true endgame weapons for players whom souls (if not slabs) are no longer meaningful, and raw weapons would make excellent pure physical damage weapons or superior weapons for enchantment for faith/int builds that only meet min stats to weird a particular weapon. does it work out this way?
