How to buy Smithing Stones 7 and 8 from Roundtable Hold in Elden Ring

Elden Ring offers players several ways to become stronger in the game. From investing in runes to learning new spells and upgrading weapons, there's a lot Tarnished can do to make progression significantly easier.

Expansive open world exploration can seem a little daunting at first. However, the number of options and upgrades the RPG allows makes it one of the more accessible games from FromSoftware.

Speaking of upgrades, scaling weapon stats and improving DPS numbers in the blacksmith is one of the most effective ways to get stronger in the game. Runes level up character stats, while weapons require the key element of the Smithing Stone and Somber Smithing Stones to become more powerful.

In the early parts of the game, players will only be able to obtain upgrade material by defeating enemies and exploring various parts of the Lands Between. They will then be able to purchase it from Roundtable Hold.

Smithing Stones 7 and 8 are two of the most sought-after crafting items in the game as they allow players to scale their weapons to +24. So today's guide will talk about how the Tarnished can unlock them as purchasable in Elden Ring's Roundtable Hold.

How and when can players purchase Smithing Stones 7 and 8 from Roundtable Hold in Elden Ring?

To unlock Smithing Stones as one of the purchasable items in Roundtable Hold  Elden Ring players must first get their hands on Bell Bearings and present their upgrade materials to the Twin Maiden Husks to make them one of the items in the inventory.

For Smithing Stones 7 and 8, Tarnished will specifically need the Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing [4], which can only be obtained after progressing a bit in the story and setting off towards the Mountain Peaks. Zone of giants.

• To get the Miner Bell Bearing [4], players must:
• Advance through the story of the Elden Ring and reach the Mountain Peaks of the Giants region. There they must meet and defeat the Fire Giant, for only then will they be able to confiscate the Miner's Bell Bearing [4].
• After defeating the Giant, the Blackened must go and talk to Melina, and Melina will appear when players go to the Forge of the Giants Grace Site of Grace. After resting there, there will be a small cutscene and the players will be automatically transported to Crumbling Farum Azula.
• After reaching the new area, the Tarnished must reach the point where they will face the Godskin Duo boss fight. Fighting can be a bit of a challenge. However, this shouldn't be too hard once players learn their attack patterns and focus first on killing the ranged magic user.
• After the fight, bosses will automatically drop the Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing [4]. The Blackeneds must now take him to the Twin Maiden Husks in Roundtable Hold, which will make the Smithing Stone 7 a purchasable 8 in their inventory.
• However, both upgrade items are quite expensive. Smithing Stone 7 will cost 9,000 Rune, while Smithing Stone 8 will require 12,000 Rune. However, the investment is worth it as it will allow the player's weapons to reach +24 and be incredibly powerful for tougher endgame boss fights.

Alongside Smithing Stone 7 and 8, fewer upgrade materials will be purchased in the Twin Maiden Husks inventory, as Elden Ring gives players a lot of accessibility and helps them become incredibly powerful as they progress through the game.
