LIKE A DRAGON: ISHIN! GUN CRAFTING: EVERY UPGRADE RECIPE
Start with the gun you actually want at the end of the tree. A Domestic Revolver leads to Vortex, the Model 2 line leads to Model 14, and Dragon Hawk starts from William Bradley's Worn Pistol trade.
At Kurogane, each upgrade uses one copy of the base, the listed materials, a hammer and the fee. Dead-Eyed Man upgrades are marked separately below. The base is consumed. Fees are in mon before discounts, and 10,000 mon equals 1 ryo. Open means no variant gate; A, B and C refer to the smithy's unlocked recipe groups. The smithing guide explains levels and hammer grades.
