PSA: Level 6, 7, and 8 smithing stone farm

Location: Yelough Anix Tunnel (late game area)

Enemies to kill: all the miners, total of about 7

Route: Start from Grace, follow progression route (drop down through the tunnels, jump the chasm, climb 2 ladders). Teleport back to Grace in the beginning. This will avoid both big gravity guys from triggering.

Ideal build: whatever you’re happy with. Personally I’m running an 80 Int caster. I had my upgraded Carian Regal Scepter in main hand and Staff of the Lost in left hand (boosts invisibility sorceries). I used Night Comet to one shot all the miners. I had Radagon Icon, Graven Mass, Marika Scarseal, and Silver Scarab equipped. I also had my Godrick Great Rune active. Only relevant armor was Silver Tear Mask. From base 9 Arcane, this brought me to 20 which equaled 200 Discovery with Silver Scarab. (Could get to 250 with silver toe fowl foot, but the teleport at the end resets it and I sorta stumbled onto this before farming materials for crafting them.)

Results: in about an hour I farmed ~300k runes, 16 level 6 stones, 14 level 7 stones, and 12 level 8 stones. Also got maybe 8-10 Gravity Stone Fans and 6 Pickaxes.

Ultimately I didn’t care about the level 6 stones because I have the bell bearing for them, but the 7’s and 8’s were cherry.

Edit: minors to miners because child abuse ain’t cool
