 * Also, I understood that it's better to reinforce a weapon instead of adding more stats, can you explain that to me or link me a guide that talks about the logic behind spending your souls?***

The reason a reinforcement is typically better is because in most cases a reinforcement increases the scaling of the weapon (i.e. increasing the club may make the strength scaling jump from "A" to "S" making it more effective for a strength user. Same goes for dex weapons such as the uchigatana's). If you add more stats (I presume you mean making one into fire or lightening or magic?) then the weapons natural scaling (Let's take the "A" for the club for an example) will DECREASE to a "C" or "D" in many cases but will have the element you chose.

Reasons to imbue a weapon with a particular element would be either because you have two of those weapon types (two clubs and imbue one with whatever element for boss battles while keeping the other for a level progression weapon) or because you are not focusing your character leveling into a specific stat such as dex or str. If you have an overall balanced character then imbuing may help as it adds the elemental damage, but if you put a ton of souls into str then you want to focus on the scaling of the weapon (in this case with the club you want to reinforce to increase the scaling of strength instead of imbuing and decreasing its scaling of strength). Hope this wasn't to confusing bud.
