19	*ALL TESTS HAVE BEEN DONE ON PATCH 1.01	^pattern (new addition)				*ascended flame , no matter the upgrade, counts as +15
20				unique	unique ugraded
21				0 (= +5 normal)	0-3
22				1 (= +7 normal)	0-4
23				2 (= +9 normal)	0-5
24							Other things of note *new
25				what doesn't matter for matchmaking:	what counts as "unique weapons" in this table		Talismans and Catalysts can't be upgraded and can connect to +0 non unique.
26				Estus upgrade	boss weapons		Quelaana and chaos pyros, bighat spells and Rhea miracles can all connect to +0 non unique
27				Rite of Kindling	tail cut off weapons		NG+1 can connect to NG+0
28				Armor upgrade	covenant weapons		There is a Soul Level up limit for Invasions
29				soft humanities
30				upgrade materials and embers	weapons you upgrade with: dragon scales, demon titanite or twinkling titanite		Weapon Matchmaking seems to be the same for Co-Op and invasions (tested on SL1 +5 and up in the Kiln)
31				game progression			You can still spawn in Quelaana by summoning someone with a +10 pyro flame to your world
32
33				Weapon upgrades for Invasions	(for maximum activity)
34				Undead Burg and Parish	Unupgraded uniques, maximum normal upgrade +5
35				Early midgame: Forest, Garden, Depths, Blighttown, Sen’s Fortress	Maximum +11 normal upgrade, +1 lightning/chaos, +3 unique
36				Everything after Sen's Fortress	Maximum weapon upgrade possible
37
38				NOTE: once you upgrade something or pick up a specific weapon that changes your weapon matchmaking, you won't be ble to undo it. No bottomless box, throwing away weapons etc won't help.
