Elden Ring: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Items? - Trading With Merchants
Elden Ring is a vast open world game that rewards players for their adventurous spirit by giving them different materials or upgrades. However, if you don’t handle it properly, it is easy to cause underutilization of resources and insufficient storage space.
However, you can also get the most out of excess crafting materials and some unusable weapons by selling them, which will earn you a certain number of Elden Ring Runes. In the game, you can prioritize trading some duplicate equipment or unused memories to merchants.
In Shadow of the Erdtree, which was released last month, there are also many items added to the game, including some armor sets, weapons and amulets. These items are scattered all over Realm of Shadow, waiting for players to explore.
These items can also be traded with merchants. This guide will introduce some items you can trade with merchants in Shadow Of the Erdtree and the base game to make the most of them.
Crafting Materials In DLC
The crafting system in Elden Ring allows players to use a variety of crafting materials to create items that players need or that help them explore. These crafting materials can be found everywhere in Realm of Shadow, and can be picked up on the ground or obtained by killing enemies.
With the addition of some Bell-Bearings, you can sell some crafting materials that you don’t need at the moment. You can get them back through those methods when you need them.
For example, after defeating Furnace Golems or exploring the area where the dead Furnace Golems are located, you will find crafting materials similar to Furnace Visage. These materials can be used to make Hefty Furnace Pot, but if you don’t need the crafted items, you can trade these crafting materials with merchants in exchange for some Elden Ring Runes.
Redundant Armor Sets And Weapons In DLC
In addition to the weapons and armor sets you can get from chests for Remembrances, you can also get them by defeating enemies in the DLC. Some enemies in Realm of Shadow, such as Fire Knights and Messmer Soldiers, have a chance to drop their armor pieces and the weapons they carry when you defeat them.
When defeating an excessive number of such enemies, whether your goal is to obtain these equipments or to make your way forward smoother, you will get a lot of duplicate armor and weapons. However, these are very space-consuming in your inventory, so the best way to deal with them is to sell them to merchants.
Otherwise, it is also a good idea to just discard them, but it is a bit of a waste compared to the small amount of Elden Ring Runes you can get from selling them.
Rowa Raisin In Base Game
In Elden Ring, Rowa Raisin is not a consumable item for you, but a consumable item for your most trusted mount, Torrent. It is a very good healing item for Torrent, which can restore a lot of Torrent’s health. However, in actual combat, in most cases, players will not be hit by enemies while on Torrent, so Rowa Raisin is not very useful.
The raw material for making Rowa Raisin is Rowa Fruit, which can be found in various places in Lands Between, so there is no need to worry about the amount you can get. Although the price given by merchants for Rowa Raisin is not high, it can still contribute greatly to your upgrade path.
Duplicate Gear In Base Game
Like the redundant weapons and armor sets mentioned above, duplicates are useless, but can be used to earn some Elden Ring Runes. For some dual-wielded weapons, such as Katanas and Whips, which require you to equip a duplicate weapon of the same type on the other hand, this is not a big deal.
However, it should be noted that some paired weapons, such as Claws and Starscourge Greatsword, will automatically equip a duplicate weapon when you press the ability button. Here, the duplicate weapon is useless and can be safely handed over to merchants, which will not weaken your ability.
Similarly, except for the mission-specific armor sets, most unnecessary duplicate armor can also be sold to merchants.
Remembrances In Base Game
Every time you defeat a boss or enemy, you will receive some Remembrances, which are special souls. You can take these Remembrances and trade them with Finger Reader Enia for abilities that match the boss, either weapon abilities or magic abilities.
In addition, you can trade them with merchants for about 20,000 to 50,000 Elden Ring Runes each. Another way to get a lot of Remembrances is to copy previously acquired Remembrances of Wandering Mausoleums. This way, whether you use them to gain abilities or runes, you will get the most out of them.
Excess Ashes Of War In Base Game
There are 91 Ashes of War abilities in the base game, which is amazing! Each piece of equipment, whether it is a weapon or a shield, has its own slot for Ashes of War, and special equipment also has unique slots. This means that at any point in the game, you will have more Ash of War abilities than you need.
In the game, you need to learn to switch your Ash of War abilities constantly according to different scenarios and situations. After you use some Ash of War abilities, you can keep some of them frequently and sell the unused or useless Ash of War abilities directly to merchants.
Now that you know how to reuse these items, check your warehouse to see if you have any. Don't let these heavy items hinder your exploration!

Elden Ring DLC: The Weakene ...
The latest update Elden Ring 1.14 changes the difficulty of the last boss Promised Consort Radahn, making this previously daunting boss accompanied with overwhelming easier to challenge and conquer. As we all know, FromSoftware is known for its challenging boss fights like Artorias, Nameless King, and Orphan of Kos, but the latest DLC is even more challenging, and the terrifying difficulty has refused mountains rookies and gain much complaints among fans. Therefore, here comes the chance for those medium players who are terrified by its horrible challenge difficulty, and if you are interested in fighting strangers, patch 1.14 also has provided some PvP and general balance adjustments for you. However, most players are not satisfied with the adjustment of the difficulty of the final boss challenge, but are more annoyed because they think it is a betrayal of the original intention of the game. The Details Of Update 1.14 The latest update has made some changes to PvP-exclusive balance adjustments in the aspects of equipment and skills. When fighting with other players, the damage that Backhand Blades, Spears, and Pata deal will be decreased. And headshot damage animation will not appear when using Spread Crossbow to attack another players as well. Here are some major updates and bug fixes for your reference: Adjusted the action pattern and attack moves when the battle kicks off. Decreased the damage of some attacks. Decreased stamina damage of some attacks. Decreased the attack range of some non-weapon-based attacks. Enhanced the visibility of some attack effects. As to a nightmare for many players to deal with, Promised Consort Radahn’s combat capabilities have also been nerfed significantly. And noticeably enhance the performance of some specific equipments like swords and spells which has disappointed players in the previous battles. Now comes the chance to embrace those Elden Ring Items to enhance your strength. And boss Rellana may be the biggest winner of this update, whose complete suite of equipment has appropriately been buffed to the moon. The Weakened Promised Consort Radahn Has Invited Complaints Promised Consort Radahn has been a nightmare for many players in the first stage, not to mention the addition of Miquella in the later phrase. This directly makes normal battles more crazy and difficult. But as the hardest boss to deal with in the entire game, many players would rather fail in battle after battle than see Radahn weakened, because this would make the challenge meaningless, which contributes to the oldest argument about Souls games in existence. This complaint is mainly concentrated among those Souls veterans, who believe in the principle of continuing to challenge and become worthy after repeated failures. According to the feedback of a player, as a Souls veteran with more than ten years of experience, he could almost always kill those powerful bosses with one hit in the early journey of DLC with the help of a well-optimized bleed build whose level is more than 400. He took invading other players as fun and said he couldn’t remember the last time he failed. Then it was such a powerful player who was beaten and fled by this boss when he came up against the reborn Radahn at the very end. Although indulging in endless depression and loss at the beginning, he was finally inspired to make enough preparation for claiming a victory next time, such as to collect some of Scadutree Fragments. In the process of careful planning for a normal battle, he got endless satisfaction. However, this satisfaction is deprived by the weaken of Radahn. This made the battle lose its original meaning. This view is supported by most game fans. The Significance To Make Preparation For Fighting Last Boss In addition to the challenge significance mentioned above, it is also necessary to consider the setting of the entire game. It is designed to collect more Scadutree Fragments scattered all over the map to help defeat the ultimate boss. Because this increases your exploration journey, and you will get to know what’s happened to Miquella and why Shadowlands are designed like this. So many revelations hide in DLC are waiting for you to disclose and many of them are jaw-dropping. Along the way to discover Scadutree Fragments, St. Trina's quest and the unbelievable story that happened in Cathedral of Manus Metyr will be revealed, the truth about Mohg be disclosed, and Marika’s childhood village be found. These fascinating stories and settings are also the meaning of the normal game, not just simply defeating a boss. Finally, when Scadutree Fragments have reached its perfect states, and burden the plea of St. Trina’s with a new Katana in your hands, it is the death of Promised Consort Radahn. Because many players think that this weakening betrays the original intention of the game, because players will most likely skip the step of collecting Scadutree Fragments and kill the last boss directly, and also miss the very exciting plot in the journey. The above is about the weakening of Promised Consort Radahn and the discussion caused by it.

Elden Ring DLC: The Horribl ...
When it comes to the lore in the game, it is estimated that no other game can have as many complex and profound lore and secrets as Elden Ring, which consists of one feature of the game. Elden Ring provides amounts of theories and backstories as the material to discuss, such as the true form of Mohg’s weapon. Elden Ring developers are always accustomed to hide mysterious elements and horrible details when designing characters. This enhances the eerie atmosphere of the game. The complex weapon design in the game also attracts players’ enthusiastic curiosity. Some players even spend hundreds of hours exploring the details of some weapons and characters. For example, there are still some players exploring the reason why Roundtable Hold burns, how overwhelming Morgott really is, as well as that Marika possibly served herself as food to a snake. Now, some details about Mohg’s Sacred Spear have been excavated by players, and then they have discovered its unusualness. For example, some players think that the spear was molten and can not be viewed as a human form as before. Let’s take a look at the terrifying details of Mohg’s Sacred Spear. The Description Of Mohg And His Sacred Spear Here comes the detailed description of Mohg. Mohg, Lord of Blood, defines as a Demigod Boss within Elden Ring base game, who uses a trident-like spear to perform ferocious attacks. If you encounter him in the game and find him tricky to deal with, it is recommended to devote some Elden Ring Runes to refine your builds or get more powerful weapons. Mohg is an optional boss in the base game resides in Mohgwyn Palace, mainly performing Bloodflame magic. Players must defeat Mohg to unlock Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Based on the still life, this spear seems to be covered in tiny bodies. According to a post by a player on Reddit, this trident spear is obviously layered with faceless, humanoid forms that seem to be sucked into the blade and mixed together, bearing the pattern like a dripping matter. In the game, the description of this spear is roughly as follows: Trident of Mohg, Lord of Blood. A sacred spear that will come as a symbol of his dynasty. Players Astonished By Mohg’s Sacred Spear Some time ago, there was no discussion about the horror of this spear. Although there was a discussion about what Mohg’s Sacred Spear was covered with, it was considered being melted wax running down the blades. Now, as more horrific details are excavated, the genuine horror of Mohg’s Sacred Spear is gradually discovered. According to player feedback, Mohg’s Sacred Spear is as terrifying as Mohg, who bears a ghastly face of horns accompanied by a bulky stature. Moreover, his intricate robes together with grand pauldron also define him. According to the discovery of a Reddit user, Mohg’s Sacred Spear is inundated by small nude bodies. This view shocked many players. Some people also compared it to Enir Ilim, the symbol of power. Currently, there are very limited resources about the legend of Mohg’s Sacred Spear. Although it has only been noticed now, it has undoubtedly aroused the players’ enthusiastic curiosity and imagination. It is precisely such countless details that have created such a great game. The above is the sharing of the horror details of Mohg’s Sacred Spear that has sparked heated discussions recently. If you have ever fought against Mohg’ in the game, I believe you will also be very interested in this detail. If you have also found some new things in the game, welcome to join iGMeet discord to discuss. There will also be plenty of exquisite gifts for free in Giveaway channel. Finally, I wish you a happy game journey.Aug-20-2024

Elden Ring: Do Players Need ...
Elden Ring’s new expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, will be released on June 21, and many players are wondering if they need to complete the original main quest before entering the new content. Because the base content in Elden Ring is enormous, it will take players hundreds of hours to explore all the content in The Lands Between thoroughly. For those who just want to relax, it may be a very daunting task and take them a long time. The time spent in the game depends on the player’s skill level, and most players will need 40-50 hours. This time is only enough to defeat the 11 necessary bosses, complete the quests in a hurry and do not have a deep understanding of all the plots, etc. But those who are worried about missing out on these plots can breathe a sigh of relief. It has been revealed that the missed content will come in handy when this DLC is finally released. Because FromSoftware did this with previous expansion. Need To Complete The Main Quest? Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has been confirmed to fully complete the main quest before entering the new expansion, but you still need to reach the area where the expansion entrance is located. For example, in Bloodborne Old Hunters DLC, players need to defeat Vicar Amelia's boss to enter Hunter’s Nightmare. This operation has been tried in many DLCs of previous FromSoftware games, including Elden Ring Colosseum DLC. Which Step Can You Unlock New Expansion At? To unlock Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in the regular way, it takes quite a long game session, but there is an easy way! You only need to defeat two special bosses to enter the new expansion directly. The first is to defeat Starscourge Radahn, which will unlock Eternal City Nokron. Of course, you need to fight Radahn by completing the quest of Ranni or activating Site of Grace by reaching Altus Plateau. After defeating the boss during Radahn Festival, you need to enter the questline in Varre to obtain Elden Ring Items required for Mohgwyn’s Palace in the underground area. You then need to go through this area to find Lord of Blood Mohg - the last boss to be dealt with before entering the new expansion. Once you have killed him successfully, you can actively access DLC by touching Miquella’s hand at the far end of Mohg’s arena. You Can Go Deeper Into Story As You Wish While players are always strongly encouraged to progress in the game, from my point of view, it is best not to lose the battle before entering the new expansion. The first reason is that it takes a long time to defeat both bosses, especially if you want to increase your progress by killing the bosses that appear on the road. If you plan to run it a second time with New Game Plus, it may take longer. The second reason is that New Game Plus makes your game more difficult. Therefore, players may need to defeat Radahn and Mohg besides updating the clearance content. In the worst case, they may not unlock Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. While New Game Plus in some ways increases the health of bosses and other enemies, in another way it also allows players to complete the first attempt of Elden Ring DLC at a higher level. For players who are constantly looking for new and harder challenges, this makes sense. But for players who already find the base game difficult, New Game Plus does increase the difficulty of DLC. Different people have different opinions. Of course, this does not prevent you from making a lot of progress in the game and picking up some of the best endgame weapons and gear. But in fact, you are better off getting as deep into the base game’s campaign as possible. Summary In addition, during Elden Ring DLC hands-on preview sessions, you are also better off setting your character to level 100 or above in advance, so that you can get higher stats and better equipment later. FromSoftware has always had a tradition of DLC being much more difficult than the base game, especially with featured bosses. For example, the ultimate boss of Bloodborne DLC, Orphan of Kos, is a very typical example. What? You think it’s not strong enough? What about Darkeater Midir and Slave Knight Gael from Dark Souls 3? Therefore, players who find the base game difficult are strongly advised not to use New Game Plus to enter the new expansion. However, there are exceptions. Players who rely entirely on Marika’s Hammer or Sacred Relic Sword can kill a lot in those “hard modes”. These two weapons will drop last before the credits. In addition, players can try different builds and weapons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to achieve different effects. It should be noted that the weapons obtained by defeating Maliketh, Radagon, and Elden Beast in Elden Ring are the best weapons in the game. But with the updated equipment provided in DLC, you can also try a lot of new options. Like you, I am looking forward to Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which will be officially released tomorrow. See you in the game and wish you a merry game.Jun-19-2024

Elden Ring: Where To Find D ...
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC brings 39 new talismans to the Lands Between to help players enjoy the game better in different builds. If you are using the Spirits build, then Dried Bouquet Talisman is very important to you. Summoning Spirit players can also choose from 19 new spirits in this DLC. It is difficult to abandon Mimic Tear or other powerful summons in the base game, but trust me, Dried Bouquet Talisman will definitely give you a refreshing feeling. Its meaning is also very special. A bouquet of unique dried flowers, placed on a small grave. When the spirit you summon dies, the attack power will increase. The sadness brought by the untimely death of a loved one has always existed in history. Effects Of Dried Bouquet Talisman Dried Bouquet Talisman in this DLC can increase your damage when a summoned spirit dies, and it lasts for 30 seconds. Please note that when multiple spirits die, this buff will not increase, but it will refresh the timer. This talisman is very suitable when you summon multiple spirits to fight, so that you can prolong your buff as long as possible. Greatshield Soldier Ashes is very useful with it, because Greatshield Soldier Ashes summons 5 corpses with a long, usable time each time, which greatly increases the buff time of Dried Bouquet Talisman. In addition, single body spirit summons such as Stormhawk Deenh Ashes are also very useful. Not only can they provide you with useful buffs, but they will also distract the enemy, allowing you to burst out higher damage when the enemy is not paying attention. Location Of Dried Bouquet Talisman Dried Bouquet Talisman is located in Belurat in Tower Settlement. Similar to talismans in the base game of Elden Ring, there are two ways to obtain it, depending on whether you have unlocked the shortcut in a previous playthrough. If you have not explored Belurat before, it is recommended to start at Small Private Altar Site of Grace. Here are the steps to get to the Small Private Altar Site of Grace: Exit through the door to the north and go up the stairs to the left. Go up the stairs on the left and immediately go left at the top of the stairs. You have to run behind the collapsed wall. Keep going straight, and when you reach the wall, turn left. When you reach the next wall opposite the sewer, turn left. Before you reach the enemy sitting near the waterfall, turn left after passing the wall on your left and go through that door. Go up the stairs, head towards the exit, and go up the stairs. (If the shortcut is open, start at Berlat, Grace’s Tower Settlement Ruins, then go up the elevator and start up those stairs). At the top of the stairs, head left (west). To the right are the ruins. Go past the ruins and look for the section of the ruined wall. Jump over this ruined section and jump to the other side of this ruin. Head into the hallway and watch out for hidden enemies in the corners. Continue down the hallway, turn left at Michel’s cross, then run through the door and turn left. There is an altar with a Dried Bouquet in front of you. In addition to the Dried Bouquet Talisman, you can also find Miquella Cross and Scadutree Fragment in Belurat. After picking up Dried Bouquet Talisman, return to the other side and cross the rooftops where the bird enemies are waiting. Take them out one at a time. They are vulnerable to jump attacks, which will knock them to the ground in most cases. Near the end of the rooftops, you’ll find a spell-casting enemy guarding the last two birds. Take him out first, then focus on the other birds. Once you’re back on the street, you’ll see a covered bridge with a lone ghost enemy holding a can above his head. These enemies will always drop Scadutree Fragments when defeated, so kill him and claim your loot! The battle isn’t over yet, though, as another yellow knight is waiting for you at the other end of the bridge. The same strategy as the previous knight applies to this one, except this one has a huge single-edged great sword instead of a double-edged one. Since he’s much slower, he’s easier to hit. Be careful with his close-range attacks, though, as these will lock you in place, allowing him to charge right into you for a critical hit. Again, please be patient and wait for a safe breach. In addition to the Dried Bouquet Talisman that can help you with souls, there are two more Elden Ring Items that can help you during your game. Mottled Necklace +1 Location: Once you have access to the Eternal City of Nokron, head to the Ancestral Woods site of grace. From there, follow the path with the Beastmen and Jellyfish. When you see Jellyfish specters, turn around and look for this talisman at the top of the pillar. Effects: Increases toughness, immunity, and focus. Mottled Necklace +2 Location: Explore the Ancient Ruins of Rauh until you reach the northwest temple complex. When you leave the second floor, go up the sloping path along the cliff. You should see a cairn. Destroy the cairn to activate the spirit spring. This will allow Torrent to jump high into the sky. You can then reach the top of the ruins on the other side. Effects: Greatly increases toughness, immunity, and focus. After learning about Dried Bouquet Talisman, are you eager to use it to strengthen yourself? I hope you have fun exploring Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and get the happiest gaming experience!Jun-21-2024
