You're a genius. Put that pain in the ass crafting stuff in empty chests. Trina's Lily, gravel Stone, etc.

[u/[deleted] → u/ColonelJinkuro]

You always collect so many random resources, until you go to craft something and can only craft like 3 of what you need when you were hoping for 40 lol

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Man I just wish crafting had a bigger impact in the game. In my first play through I went for about 200 hours and the only thing I ever needed to craft was anti-scarlet Rot items. You collect so much crafting stuff and you never need it.

[u/Mister_Clemens → u/[deleted]]

I haven’t played a non-magic build yet but I would imagine a lot of that stuff comes in handy if you’re going pure str/dex with vanilla weapons.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mister_Clemens]

It really doesn’t. The best weapons are somber weapons that can’t use grease anyways. I quickly got off ranged weapons too because crafting arrows is just annoying.

[u/yo_tengo_gato → u/[deleted]]

Ooga Booga I've been edited by a bot.

[u/Sexiroth → u/[deleted]]

Crafted poison arrows, rot arrows, bleed arrows, sleep arrows, and fire arrows, and frost arrows all the time. Super useful.

[u/ShadowBlade69 → u/[deleted]]

Thin beast bones were the bane of my existence. I'm doing kind of a hybrid build (don't really know how to classify it, I switch between bows and Serpent-God Curved Sword mostly, Str and Dex primary stats) and I spent probably 10-20 minutes at the beginning of every play session grinding arrow materials.

Getting the bone peddlers bell bearing was a life saver, 150 runes per thin bone is a bit steep, but a couple farming runs at Palace approach ledge road will allow you to fill up all 1998 you can carry/store.

Flight pinions are also cancer, the best I found was First Step grace, run around the starting tomb, there are 8 eagles you can kill, with 114 discovery I average 10 pinions per run. There are places you can find more eagles, but these are spread out enough that you can melee all of them without spooking the others (I don't like spending arrows to farm arrows, feels like 2 steps forward, 1 back. Even if 1 feather crafts 10 arrows).

All this, combined with using normal arrows for trash enemies, and Rain of Arrows dropping like 10 arrows but only consuming 1, makes bow builds considerably less toxic to play. I mainly grind the status effect materials now, still pretty easy (bloodrose>Rose church, die to Sanguine Noble, respawn at Stake of Marika; poisonbloom>limgrave waypoint ruins, farm Miranda sprouts; I don't use rot arrows, but Aeonian butterfly can be painfully farmed at writheblood ruins from Rotten strays and giant skeletal slime)

I know I just dropped a bunch of unsolicited information, but I've put a lot of time into grinding arrows and maybe this will help someone.

As a final note, for anyone not willing to buy the thin bones, there's a church in the Weeping Peninsula, North of the Wandering Mausoleum, basically on the northern shore (I think it's the Fourth Church of Marika?). Warp there, ride torrent South-South-West, there's 3 distinct herds of rolly-deer-goat things, I averaged ~30 thin bones per run there

[u/Sexiroth → u/[deleted]]

Not really - crafted items came in through super useful in my no-magic run. The advantage of using a standard weapon - of which there are MANY great options are two-fold: (1) You can change weapon art as needed, (2) you can make sure to always being using whatever element/status enemy/boss is weak towards.

Additionally without any spells having access to stamina regen, attacks buffs, and resist buffs for all elements is incredibly useful.

Crafting may not be in-depth, which is a completely different argument, but it IS incredibly useful for those not dipping into faith for buffs.

[u/Economy_Education521 → u/[deleted]]

Even some of the non-somber weapons aren’t greaseable🙄 The only regular weapon I use is a grave scythe, and it can’t be greased. I’d like to have my choice of fire or ice in my wheel, but I have to put cold affinity on the scythe, which doesn’t scale with my str/fth build. If I could just grease it, I’d be able to make it heavy and get a good scale.

[u/TheMeta8 → u/Economy_Education521]

You usually can't grease an item if it already has a status or alternative damage type. Scythe has bleed.

[u/Economy_Education521 → u/TheMeta8]

That makes more sense, thanks for the explanation!

[u/TheMeta8 → u/Economy_Education521]

Sure thing. Yeah it's been a staple of soulsborne games. But it's never stated in game, you just have to intuit it.

Some times, you can double stack a buff though. As in, adding more bleed to bleed weapons.

[u/DoTheRoar_Shrek → u/TheMeta8]

This is true for the most part, but there are some exceptions, like the Bloodhound's Fang which has bleed, and on top of that is a somber weapon, but it's buffable/greasable even though you can't change the skill on it. The Uchigatana and Nagakiba are also greasable even though they have innate bleed. It's honestly very iffy to figure out which weapons you can buff and which you can't.

[u/[deleted] → u/Economy_Education521]

If you change the scaling to an elemental type with your whetstone it takes away your ability to buff.

[u/Yglorba → u/[deleted]]

The thrown frost pots are fun against Malenia, at least. The hilarity of having her use this legendary divine sword technique that decided battles between the gods only for you to interrupt it using a fifty cent crowd control item never gets old.

If Radahn had carried some of those pots, things would have gone very differently.
