A mastered weapon will be dismantled into these items; note that dismantling a weapon at a lower level will result in a considerably limited subset of this list
Dismantled To
The number of times this weapon can be upgraded; the weapon actually has one more level than the number listed, the master level, which is indicated by a ✩; note that for non-purchaseable weapons, some lower levels cannot actually be reached, since the weapon is created at a higher level
Levels
The total amount of experience required to take this weapon from zero experience at level 1 to level ✩; the full value is listed even for non-purchasable because the amount of experience accumulated on a master weapon is carried over when it is upgraded; for a breakdown of exactly how much experience is required to master a weapon from any given level, view its information page
