Notes

• The katana and handsaw upgrades remove all modifiers, including hefty. You can re-apply lead weights, etc. to the weapon. (The old item is thrown out completely and you're given a new one, as opposed to a smoldering upgrade which modifies the existing item.)
• On Fire effects do not stack; smoldering weapons are limited to 3 On Fire.
• Quest items and books aren't an option, other than His Majesty's Least Favorite Poems and the handful of black ooze. (Anything with slot "books" or "quest" isn't added to the list unless it has one of those two item IDs.)
• Items that get rejected are handful of clean water, handful of dirty water, handful of holy water, handful of popcorn, handful of steam, heavy boots, hot rod (unless hefty), human bean liver, and any familiar whose name starts with H.
• Items edited in your save file to start with H get rejected, unless the name starts with "hefty " (space included); in which case it gets "smoldering " and causeonfire added, whether it's a weapon or not.
