WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Clear Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel for a standard stone bearing
Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel, northeast of the Academy in Liurnia; the Crystalian waits at the end of the mine.
Before you go
- Reach Liurnia and locate the tunnel entrance by the cliff.
- Bring healing and a weapon or approach suitable for the Crystalian encounter.
- Have a standard armament that can use the stone pickups and shop stock.
Farming steps
- Enter the tunnel and activate its Site of Grace.
- Descend through the mine, collecting visible Smithing Stone deposits and checking side chambers.
- Avoid spending flasks on every miner if you can safely move past them.
- Continue downward to the Crystalian arena and defeat the boss.
- Collect Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [1] from the victory reward.
- Travel to Roundtable Hold and offer the bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks.
- Buy the newly listed Smithing Stone [1] and [2] quantities you need, then reinforce at a smith.
- A strike weapon can help against the Crystalian’s hard exterior; keep attacking until its stance breaks and the fight opens up.
- The mine pickups are finite, but the bearing’s listed shop tiers can be restocked with runes.
Repeat, collect and use
The cave deposits and boss reward are one-time progression rewards. Afterward, farm runes and purchase the unlocked tiers repeatedly from the Husks.
Common mistakes
- Leaving before the boss: the lasting purchase unlock comes from the bearing, not just the mine deposits.
- Expecting stones to appear at the shop before offering the bearing: deliver it at Roundtable Hold first.
- Using the stones on a unique weapon: those armaments require Somber Smithing Stones.
When to stop or switch
Stop exploring once the bearing is delivered and the immediate weapon plan is supplied; return to buy more only when another standard upgrade needs tiers 1 or 2.
