Somber Smithing Stones Farming Guide
| Smithing Stones | Farming Method |
|---|---|
 |
Ruined Forge Lava Intake: Head inside the dungeon and kill the Lava Slimes. The slimes all have a chance of droping Smithing Stones levels 1 to 4. |
 |
Main Gate Plaza, Shadow Keep: Climb the stairs leading to the upper levels of the keep. There will be several Messmer's soldiers that you'll encounter on your way up (8 in total). All of Messmer's soldiers have a chance of dropping Smithing Stones 5-7. |
|
Ruined Forge Lava Intake: Smithing Stones 5-7 can be farmed by killing the golems that inhabit the area. Aim for the ruby on their backs to easily kill them. Each golem has a chance to drop smithing stones 5-7. |
 |
Specimen Storehouse, Shadow Keep: Fire Knights drop Smithing Stones 7-8 and one spawns extremely near the Storehouse, Seventh Floor in Shadow Keep. Keep on defeating it to obtain Smithing Stones 7-8. |
There are no new methods of upgrading your weapons in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Just like in the base game, you can upgrade your weapons through Smithing Master Hewg at Roundtable Hold or Smithing Master Iji at Liurnia of the Lakes.
Since max upgrade stones are limited per New Game cycle, you should only +25 or +10 a weapon if you plan to use it as your main weapon for the DLC. Otherwise, it would be better to save them up in case one of the new DLC weapons appeals to your playstyle.
