yeah the smithing stones are weird. There are also so many sombre ones which makes no sense yet I always have a shortage of normal ones. I've had the Bloodhound's Fang (sombre) up to +9 for absolutely ages yet I'm still stuck on level 7 smithing stones for the twin blades (regular) because they're so hard to get. And all I've unlocked at the shop so far is up to +4 even though I'm level 110
I just looked for ages to get one of my swords to +17. It required 4 Smithing Stone 6’s. They seem so rare but I finally got four. Next upgrade? 6 Smithing Stone 6’s.yeah the smithing stones are weird. There are also so many sombre ones which makes no sense yet I always have a shortage of normal ones.

Nvm he dead now.
The fang or any somber weapon at +9 is the equivalent to a regular weapon at +24 which is mad cause I've been able to get like 3 sombre weapons to +9 by now and I think my highest regular (twin blade) is +17.
Oh yeah this wound me up to no end. Made me feel like my quality build was utterly pointless considering the appeal of it was being able to try almost every weapon I looted. They should have at least given the option of being able to salvage the stones from unused weapons.
I'm also stuck on the 6x6, they're a bastard to find... hoping to come across a mine soon.
The amount of health on these mobs is mental too. My Ruins Greatsword +9 needs like 8 hits to kill them.
So I heard. I hope it supports FreeSync/Gsync too like Series X... Native 1440p would be great too so I can stop using my Evanlak EDID.
Yeah there's a power spike there, but definitely adaptable.. Your levels should suffice. I did use the OP Moonveil +9 for that area though. By the way, vigor doesn't scale very well past 40 so I wore the life boost amulet (+2) and radogan's soreseal to get by..
Was this pre or post nerf? That's exactly what I'm using at the moment along with a +9 Lusat's staff. Place still feels overtuned.
Yeah you won't get those until end game essentially.
those mobs are the ruins that spew massive arcs of frost at you suck balls, they were ruining me.
I edited my post and suggested you check out the sewers in the Royal Capital if you’re up for exploring more of the optional late-game areas that I’d missed prior to defeating the final boss. That way the power curve will feel more organic.
I found that it's much easier to experiment with special weapons as there's quite a lot of somber smithing stones available and of course each upgrade level only takes one. Also, you can immediately buy a few up until level 4 I think from Iji.
You know, I went with a quality build with the same reasoning but found like 80% of the weapons have Faith or Intelligence or Arcane requirements and scaling.
Yeah that was another bugbear of mine. It feels like the game wants you go to down the hybrid route.
. What a waste of time that was when i'm a faith/strength build.I mean it is a bleed weapon, with the clue being in the nameWent and got Rivers of blood to level 10 for the Malenia fight and then realised it scales with dex
On a related note, feck that boss and her cheap one shot move.
Yeah, I'm just so desperate to beat THAT boss i was not thinking; i heard it was a good to weapon to use in that fight.I mean it is a bleed weapon, with the clue being in the name
I'm level 45 and have been doing the same. Getting my shit pushed in at Mount Gelmir but I'm probably not supposed to be here, to be honest. I'm going back to Liurnia.
Nah, that’s a classic quality build. Make sure you’re using the bloodhound fang, it’s perfect for that build.
Level 45 at Mount Gelmir? Sheesh. That's just plain masochism.
You should push vigor and endurance early on at least as it really helps when you are learning the ropes. Endurance caps out at 30 so from then on just focus on strength/Dec. Whatever one is the higher grade for the weapon you use really.
Yeah I think I'm just going to Comet Azur him into the next game and move on quickly. Feck this shit zone.
I couldn't help it. I was in Liurnia and kept getting distracted while going northwards.
Fextralife wiki is normally on point for tips and walkthroughs.
Crystalians? Lanky dickheads with weird movement?
Yeah I just fought a couple of boss ones after realising those burnt looking bits on the map are mines. Jumping attacks seemed to work.
Beware that the dragon ones are limited in quantity and need a new game plus to exceed 7(8) somber dragon ones. For all up to +9 & +24 you have unlimited from twin maiden shop via bell bearings.
