If you want to start being proficient with your character in Elden Ring you will have to think about using reinforcement materials to upgrade your weapons or ashes. In this way you will do more damage, also enjoying increased benefits with attribute scaling depending on the weapon wielded. And the difference is more than noticeable with this.
Whether it’s some degree of forgestone or umbrastone forgestone for weapons, like grave or spectral convalaria for ashes, you’ll be interested in starting the search for these materials and knowing in the process. where farm them or buy them. So first let’s calmly look at this resource for any type of weapon.
The Twin Maiden Miner’s Spheres
Across the vastness of the Midlands of Elden Ring there are various enemies or locations from which either of the two types of forging materials for weapons can be easily farmed. For example, the Raya Lucaria Crystal Mine in Liurnia or the Sellia Crystal Mine in Caelid. But there is a much simpler and more direct method with the quiescent Twin Maidens.
To do this you must first locate the four types of Forgestone Miner Spheres and the five types of Forgestone Umbral Miner Spheres. Only in this way can you then buy their associated reinforcement materials, according to the level of each type, for greater comfort when it comes to raising your weapons almost to the maximum, in the absence of the final touch with the ancient dragon materials that are limited.
Where are the spheres that give forge stone
Forge Stones are used to upgrade standard weapons, which can go up to +25 total after using an Ancient Dragon Forge Stone. Otherwise the cap will be +24 using normal forgestone, of which there is no limit.
Each forgestone level strengthens weapons up to a maximum of three levels. For example, with the forge stone [1] we can raise a weapon to +3, while with the forge stone [8] we reach +24. Each forgestone miner’s sphere allows you to purchase different levels of said forgestones from the Quiescent Twin Maidens on the Table of Lost Grace, and you can find their associated miner’s spheres at these points in the Midlands…
Forgestone Miner’s Sphere [1]
The first is simple. Defeat the crystal boss…from the crystal mine.
Forgestone Miner’s Sphere [2]
The second is in the sealed tunnel, at the gates of Leyndell’s inner wall. Going inside, hit the invisible wall to the right of the summoning figure. Go down the road and go all the way to the far right and open the chest.
Forgestone Miner’s Sphere [3]
Another easy. In the chest located in the tiny Zamora ruins.
Forgestone Miner’s Sphere [4]
The last forgestone miner sphere is granted to you by Sacroderm Duo on Farum Azula after defeating him. But don’t worry, there’s a trick to make it a piece of cake: he uses the dream of Santa Trina’s sword. Or if he doesn’t summon Dolores.
Where are the Shadowstone Miner’s Spheres?
In the case of forge umbrastone, there are only ten levels in total as they are weapons with special characteristics. Up to level +9 you will be able to reach it without any kind of problem when it comes to farming, the ancient dragon forging umbrastone being reserved again to take them to their limit… although they are very limited.
Here is the location of the five Umbrastone Miner’s Spheres…
Shadowstone Miner’s Sphere [1]
The first is very direct: defeat the boss from this crystal mine in Caelid.
Shadowstone Miner’s Sphere [2]
Another direct: defeat crystal bosses from the Altus gallery.
Shadowstone Miner’s Sphere [3]
in the elusive Marika’s first church you have the third She is in a corpse.
Shadowstone Miner’s Sphere [4]
Both the fourth and the fifth and last umbrastone miner’s sphere are in Farum Azula, having the first one right on a balcony near the Grace of the Mirador in front of the storm, right on the edge of the precipiceon a corpse.
Shadowstone Miner’s Sphere [5]
The fifth and last one is near the Great Bridge Side Grace. Go down the elevator and then down the stairs, then take the path to the right. You will see this corpse sphere protected by various aggressive enemies.
