Standard weapon upgrade materials
Unlock standard Smithing Stone purchases
Bell Bearings turn standard Smithing Stones in supported tiers into recurring purchases at Roundtable Hold.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Unlock standard Smithing Stone purchases
Named mines and late-game areas containing Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearings; deliver each bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold.
Before you go
- Reach the mine or region where the bearing for your needed tier is found.
- Defeat the bearing’s guarding boss when required; miner bearings are not all obtained the same way.
- Have runes for the bearing route’s boss and for the stones you plan to purchase.
Farming steps
- Check the reinforcement screen or Smithing Table to identify the standard stone tier your weapon needs next.
- Find the Miner’s Bell Bearing that unlocks that tier in a mine or later area.
- Defeat the guarding enemy or claim the bearing at its location.
- Return to Roundtable Hold and offer the item to the Twin Maiden Husks.
- Open their shop and confirm the newly listed Smithing Stone tiers.
- Buy only the stock needed for the weapon or weapons you intend to reinforce.
- Visit a smith and apply the stones, then repeat the bearing search for higher tiers when needed.
- Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel’s Crystalian drops the first standard miner bearing, which unlocks Smithing Stones [1] and [2].
- Later bearings add other tiers; check the Husks’ inventory after every delivery instead of assuming one bearing unlocks everything.
Repeat, collect and use
Each bearing is a one-time pickup, but its listed stones become repeat purchases. Farm runes, buy the required quantities, and return as your weapons advance.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the stones to appear before offering the bearing: deliver it to the Twin Maiden Husks first.
- Buying every available stone: check the reinforcement cost and buy for a specific weapon plan.
- Farming random enemy drops after stock is unlocked: collect runes and purchase the listed tiers instead.
When to stop or switch
Stop the bearing hunt when the unlocked tiers cover your current weapon plan; pursue the next bearing only when an upgrade requires higher stones.
