Mundane

Mundane is a type of weapon infusion in Dark Souls II. Mundane weapons are crafted with Old Mundane Stones.

Overview

When a weapon is infused with Mundane, its base damage will drop drastically and it will lose any Physical scaling it had prior. However, it will also gain very high scaling with whatever the player's lowest-leveled stat is. This can be any stat, meaning that if the player's lowest stat is in Vitality, the weapon will now scale with it.

On release, this scaling would be the same regardless of the weapon. For example, if the players lowest stat is at 25, then no matter what weapon is infused, it will have a damage bonus of 220 from scaling.

Current patch, most Daggers have reduced Mundane scaling.

Due to the nature of this infusion, it's only ever a positive in damage when the weapon has low base AR and Scaling.

Mundane Scaling of Weapons

Most Weapons have a 100% scaling factor on Mundane with these exceptions:

Special Scaling Weapons

Lost Sinner's Sword:

Each level of Sin reduces this weapon's scaling by 1/30th, to a maximum of 30 Sin, at which point it will have 0 scaling.

Dark Pyromancy Flame, Scythe of the Forlorn and Greatsword of the Forlorn:

When the player is Human, they only have 10% of their scaling, when the player has 10 hollowing levels (Health is reduced to 50%), the weapons have 100% of their scaling.

Ruler's Sword:

When the player is Carrying 10k souls or less, their scaling is equal to 85% of the default, for each soul carried above that, Scaling increases up to a Cap of 1 million souls, at which point the scaling is equal to 130%.

Staff of Amana:

When Human, the scaling is equal to 100% of the default but lowers for each hollowing level, up to 10% at 10 levels.

Bewitched Alonne Sword

Has a special Buff that multiplies scaling by 160% for a limited time.
