WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Twin Maiden Husks’ shop at Roundtable Hold after offering the matching standard Miner’s Bell Bearing.
After delivering a Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing, the Twin Maiden Husks sell the bearing’s listed tiers repeatedly. For several standard armaments, this is a practical way to supply upgrades without hoping for enemy drops. Stone quantities rise with each reinforcement stage, so buying for a clear shortlist avoids tying up runes in materials you may not use. This applies to standard weapons; unique armaments require Somber Smithing Stones instead.
Obtain the Bell Bearing that unlocks the stone tier you need.
Choose the standard weapons you intend to maintain or upgrade.
Carry runes for both stones and smithing costs.
Inspect each planned weapon’s reinforcement requirement at a smith or table.
Write down the tiers and quantities needed for the next upgrade steps on those weapons.
Offer the matching Bell Bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks if you have not already.
Open the shop and buy the tiers that match your shortlist.
Return to a smith and apply the stones to the selected weapons.
Recheck their requirements and buy the next tier only when you are ready for it.
Farming tips
Prioritize one or two weapons if runes are limited; spreading upgrades across many armaments can leave all of them short of the next useful level.
Use the shop’s displayed tier stock as confirmation that the bearing was delivered.
Repeat, collect and use
The bearing is a one-time unlock, but the listed stones remain repeat purchases. Farm runes and restock when another weapon’s next reinforcement is planned.
Common mistakes
Buying stones for a weapon that uses the Somber track: confirm its upgrade material first.
Guessing quantities: check each weapon’s exact requirement before buying.
Spending the whole rune balance on materials: reserve enough for the smithing service and other planned costs.
When to stop or switch
Stop shopping when the chosen weapons have enough materials for their next planned reinforcement; return when a new tier is needed.
