How to unlock the Maximum Power! achievement in Chronos: Before the Ashes - Definitive Guide
Maximum is +5. This requires 16 Dragon shards to get to +3, and 8 Rare Dragon Shards to get to +5. You can create Rare Dragon Shards by combining a Dragon Shard with Dragon Oil. Late game enemies will also drop Rare Dragon shards.
I played the game through 3 times, and in my experience you will only have enough materials to max out one or two weapons - at least without grinding for materials. My advice is to pick a weapon early that suits your playstyle, or be minimal with upgrading until you find the weapon you like the most. You will have your starting weapon, and 3 more options available before traveling to the second world, one weapon can be found in the second world, and the rest are found late in the game. So choose one of the first 5 to upgrade, then save materials for the last few in case you choose to end with one of those. I liked playing with the Krell mace best, but on my Heroic playthrough I finished with the Krell sword.

To upgrade a weapon to max level, you need 16 regulard Dragon Shards and 8 Rare Dragon Shards. The regular shards are dropped somewhat rarely by regular enemies and found inside inscribed boxes, while the Rare shards will be crafted by combining a normal shard with Dragon Oil, which can also be found inside inscribed boxes or dropped from some of the tougher enemies later in the game. You will have to upgrade the same weapon three times with normal shards first (3, then 5, then 8 shards for each level) and then twice with Rare shards (3, then 5) to max it out.

To fully upgrade one weapon you need 21 regular dragon shards and 8 rare ones.
There are plenty of them in the game and they still drop from enemies.
