Farming rare weapons is ultimately a matter of luck since a 10% drop rate doesn’t necessarily mean that players will find one for every ten enemies they kill. When these drop rates drop as low as 1%, this randomness can often feel unfair, as some players may get unlucky and have to farm hundreds of enemies while others may get on their first or second kill. The most important aspects of getting a rare drop are finding the most optimal farming location in Elden Ring , which includes selecting the best Site of Grace to reset enemies and increasing the drop rate by any me

Though many newer fans understandably recognize CD Projekt Red’s games for The Witcher 3 mostly, The Witcher 2 still holds up well for an action RPG from the Xbox 360 era of games.

In addition, players can use runes to level up their Arcane stat to improve Discovery, increasing the damage stats of certain sorceries, incantations, and useable items, such as throwing knives. Players should also try to get and equip the Silver Scarab talisman to get a boost to their Discovery and the Silver Tear Mask to increase their Arcane in Elden Ring . Lastly, players should always try to use the Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot consumable item when farming rare items, as it increases the Discovery stat by 50 for three minu

These swords are two of the most elusive armaments in the game, as they sport a drop rate of just 0.5%. Although they are not necessarily in contention for the best weapons in Elden Ring , they have a particularly unique look, as both are fully coated in gold. The Noble’s Slender Sword is a variant of the Straight Sword and possesses the same characteristics. However, unlike the Noble’s Estoc , which is almost always outclassed by the regular Estoc, the Noble’s Slender Sword has a slight edge over its competition. It sports the longest range out of all other Straight Swords, which can be very useful to catch opponents in PvP or keep enemies at bay in
