@render Oh wow mate... you're starting to inspire me!

The fact that you can pretty much do a full re-spec of your stat spread means that I suppose any weapon or build is viable... Currently still enjoying my dual katana bleed build, but I am certainly going to respec for Moonveil later. I suppose I could use my +15 Naga katana in off-hand and then Moonveil in main/RH?

What stats are you working with now?

Guys has anyone else had an issue with it not registering smithing stones to your inventory. I’ve been stuck on holding only 3 smithing stones (3) for ages, even though I know that I’ve picked quite a few more up than that since first being one short of my next upgrade? Every time I pick a new smithing stone 3 up I travel to Roundtable Hold to upgrade and it says I’m still one short. As a result my weapons been stuck at its level for ages… it’s really annoying.

@colonelkilgore Maybe a bug, but I actually had a moment of confusion where I was picking up ''somber" smithing stones (3) and thinking these were the conventional type.

If you check inventory could it be you've picked up a derivative of the 'original' smithing stone (3) instead? ie picked up a 'somber' variant that is actually no use to you at this stage?

@CJD87 yeah I was thinking the same thing for a while but it’s happened a few more times after that, when I’ve scrutinised it a bit more. My new plan is that I’ve found a video that shows how to farm them, so I’m gonna spend some time killing the enemies mentioned, who drop smithing stone (3)’s and see what happens.

Anybody got any hints on the best place to farm smithing stone (3)s?

Funnily enough @mcdreamer, yes I do (see my above quandary). So if you start at the gate into Raya Lucaria, travel back as if you are heading back out towards the lakes/swamps and as you get to the area with the mobs (the mob that includes the flame throwing tank shaped like a large bald head) there are two enemies that patrol back and forth the outside flanks of the area. They drop smithing stone (3)’s at an rng rate.

Aha, I know just the area you mean @colonelkilgore! In fact, I just started going through the academy last night having found the unlock for the seal. Just got to the fog door for a boss, though I haven't dared go through yet.

@CJD87 I was piling all my runes into DEX originally so I've got that up to 26 but then had to push INT instead due to the Moonveil requirements so I'm now up to 25 on that. My standard Uchigatana is only +5 and the Moonveil so far is +1 so I've got a way to go before I max that out but it's only going to get better. I'm tempted to go seek out the Naga though just to try that too but I think I might need to follow a quest line for that.

I think I'm going to have to get better at following the side quests as I've not really been keeping an eye on them. I know there isn't a quest log so I might have to take a look at a list to see which ones I might have inadvertently started and not continued.

@velio84 Yeah I've done a few if them. Iirc you get talismans and smithing stones from the ones I've done.

@render awesome that moonviel is working great. I'll have to look into finding it. Iam currently 26 vit. 32 dex. With my +15 Uchi. My int is only at 9 though, so I'll start lvling that up next as before I grab the moon viel.

@LN78 The one in North Liurnia of The Lakes had a smithing Stone 4.

My mate messaged me last night to see if I fancied a co-op session and we decided to take a trip to the Caelid peninsula, as neither of us have explored there yet.

We started by dying repeatedly to a giant bird, then we got chased by a dragon, until we both fled in different directions. It ended with my mate getting cornered by a tree and killed by some big dude, while I accidentally ran off a cliff while trying to escape three other smaller (but no less scary) dragons.

Worst trip ever.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@Gremio108 The best of adventures end with accidentally running off a cliff.

I'm always in a rush to get playing once I've started a game so just try and get a game loaded as quick as I can. The annoying thing with ER is that just as I go and hit continue the theme tune is kicking in and it cuts it off before it really gets going (around about 15 seconds in). I then wish I'd stuck around to hear it so make a mental note to have a listen next time. Guaranteed though I'll go and forget so just checked it out on YouTube. It's a really fitting theme and just as dramatic as the game is.

Elden Ring soundtrack on vinyl. Hot diggity.

@JohnnyShoulder I’m surprised there’s actually that many tracks to fill what looks like 16 sides. Each region had a theme, and then most of the field bosses and catacomb bosses had the same theme.

Plumbing’s just Lego innit. Water Lego.

Trans rights are human rights.

@Jimmer-jammer That’s pretty epic, hope your pouring is in slow motion!

@JohnnyShoulder That is an insane amount of vinyl. It would take me as long to listen to all that as it’s going to take me to finish the game

So… enemies that are hands! Nothing in this world really creeps me out that much. I love a good horror movie, the missus and I go to sleep to serial killer documentaries most nights, I generally like scary stuff.

Frikkin’ hand-enemies! They creeped me out in Dark Souls 3 and these ones are even worse. Don’t know what it is… but… absolutely horrifying! 😫
