Warfarin grease

Submit

Just 30... When weapons with passive blood loss have 45, 50, etc

The way fromsoft does things really confuses me

Submit

I only use this because it looks way cooler than Bloodflame

Submit

It's better to just put points in faith till 12 and use bloodflame weapon incantantion or go to seppuku.

Submit

does this stack ontop of innatebleed or replace it with 30 bleed

Submit

Should really only be used on innate bleed weapons, Greta stars, flamberge, naginata, uchigatana etc.. Like all greases it's a low investment, pure bonus, it has no FP cost, no leveling up a seal, just using items you probably already have.Most useful for non arcane builds, like a str build using great stars for example. 30 more bleed is useful as opposed to no extra bleed. 85 more damage for other greases is very useful at any level, again as opposed to nothing.

Submit

This is very good for low-level twinks that don't want to cheat themselves other greases or spend ages farming. If you are tired of BFB looks (or don't have reqs for it) this is just as good with bleed weapons and doesn't take fp. Also you don't feel miserable bc that grese is literally from Limgrave

Submit

Only was able to proc godrick once with this **** on a shield poke build. **** sucks lmao

Submit

If you think this grease is bad, I'm making a run at passing the game at level 1, with all the things the game gives you at your disposal. With bloodhound's fang+8 and a single grease and some bad stuff I killed the noble Godskin.

Submit

Good if you 2hand your offhand weapon because you can't buff those with incantations.

Submit

Is this the only buyable grease now?

Submit

Aka, poor man's Bloodflame Grease.

Submit

wiki should note that the build-up from (blood, poison, and sleep) greases can be scaled up on weapons that also scale with arcane but there only 2 weapons in the game that scale with arcane AND allow you to add grease to them. Ripple Blade and Crescent Ripple Halberd. the pages for these weapons already list their respective build-up values at Rank 25+ at differing arcane levels, so all this (and other grease pages that apply here) need to do is, state the info and refer to the Ripple Blade's and Crescent Ripple Halberd's pages.

Submit

Not as useless as some here might say. At least, no more useless than the other greases that fall off at high levels. My strength build benefits from this grease by putting on a weapon with innate bleed. I can trigger hemorrhage once, if not twice on most tanky enemies. Keep in mind, it's just an item. It doesn't require any investment beyond collecting/buying the materials.

Submit

The most useless grease in the game. You will always be better off just Blood-infusing

Submit

The noise this makes when you use it is kinda freaky

Submit

Damn, how can people still fail to realize even after a whole year, that the Blood Grease will always be the superior choice for non arcane builds, whenever you need some occasional bleed status effects?

Why? Because Blood grease doesn't scale with Arcane at all, but it is a static buff.

While Bloodflame Blade NEEDS to scale over Arcane for being effective.

Perfect for non arcane weapons which already have bleed, like the Bloodhound Fang or whatever Keen Katana.

Submit

i'd like to see this buffed at some point, even with the scaling from the ripple weapons it just doesn't cut it compared to a normal blood weapon

Submit

Interesting tidbit, but Bloodflame Blade is almost always the better choice in terms of a buff when compared against this, which usually isn't that surprising since spells buffs are typically better than their consumable counterparts. There is 3 cases though where Blood Grease does outshine BFB though, namely on Varre's Bouquet, Ripple Blade, and Ripple Crescent Halberd. Reason for this is due to the fact that all 3 of these weapons are Arcane scaling weapons which allow for weapon buffs, and in turn Blood Grease is able to take advantage of the Arcane scaling to rise above 30 Bleed. For the Ripple weapons, this doesn't matter too terribly much to begin with though, as other weapons from within their weapon classes have base Bleed and can take advantage of BFB. The same cannot be said for Varre's Bouquet though. This weapon at 80 Arcane already reaches a rather high amount of Bleed, and with the 30 Bleed which scales you can consistently 2-hit proc Bleed on other players. Does it make Varre's Bouquet good? Not really, but it turns a terrible weapon into a decent Bleed application tool. All things considered though, running BFB on Varre's Bouquet is still decent as well, and will most likely Bleed just as consistently as Blood Grease, with the added bonus of applying pressure through rolls in PVP.

Submit

A good combo I use is, Blood Grease + Bloodhound's Fang Curved Greatsword. And DANG it inflicts lots of blood loss. Very reliable in PvP.

Submit

how good is this with a naturally arc scaling weapon? i tried it on the ripple axe and the buildup didn't seem that good

Submit

30 is just too low. seppuku is just way better than this... Unless you want to do a classic bandit knife gameplay, since seppuku can't be used on daggers... which is also a strange restriction.

Submit

Nearly useless on weapons without innate bleed and on the slower side.

Submit

The “**** seppeku i dont want to change my danm weapon art, i like it the way it is” grease

Submit

I just wish the greases lasted a little longer. Giving us two minutes instead of only one would hardly have been game-breaking.

Submit

If you have an arcane weapon that can be buffed (such as the Ripple weapons), it does scale.

So for a Ripple build, use the halberd for regular combat/exploration and use the axe with Blood Grease and Wild Strikes for bosses.

An occult weapon with innate bleed and seppuku is still infinitely better though.

Submit

Stacks with weapons that have inherent bleed build-up, that's all I needed to hear, thank you Wiki!

Submit

For early runes, grab some of this (took 6 for me with the astrologer starting sword which should be worst case but YMMV), take the portal near the Third Church of Marika, head south across the bridge, down the path, *left* around the minor erdtree, and up the sprintspring. From here you're behind Elder Dragon Greyoll and you can just go to town on her back legs, greasing your weapon whenever it runs out, and eventually kill her for 75k (~20 levels or so) without ever really fighting anything

Submit

Can you add this to a scythe?

Submit

can effect of this grease affected by arcane?

Submit

Better off just using Bloodflame if you're not going to infuse your weapon with bleed.

Submit

Slather this on the great stars war hammer, stack your poise to the heavens, slap wild strikes (heavy) on it and just hold R2 to let there be blood.

Submit

Grease adds somewhere between 25 and 30 bleed.

To test, I hit giant poisonpuffs.
With 45+grease, it took 3 hits to proc.
With 69 bleed affinity, it took 4.
With a non-bleed weapon+grease, it took 9.
So since we can confirm their threshold is less than 276, but more than 207 (or else three hits with 69 would have worked), we can confirm that grease adds between 25 and 30 bleed build up. So if you have enough + that Blood affinity adds at least +30 build up, it's guaranteed to bleed at least as well as base+blood grease.

Submit

How much blood build up does this increase? Anyone tested a blood affinity weapon with arcane stats vs a keen weapon with inherit blood build up and blood grease?

Submit

Bump this^^

Submit

Does it scale with arcane? I don't know if I should put this on an inherent bleed weapon or just go for a bloody ash of war

Submit

Can someone pls tell me, if you use a blood grease on a blood weapon does the bleed build up increase, something like Uchigatana + blood grease = faster bleed?

Submit

Just as a side note for the bleeders, giants bleed like crazy which helps for early farming.

Submit

How long does it last ?

Submit

luck build has entered the chat

Submit

anyone know if theres a ball bearing that has this?

Submit

How much blood buildup does it inflict? Adding blood affinity to my weapon adds the passive effect "Causes blood loss buildup (60)" and I'm not sure if that's more or less than using blood grease

Submit

Blood grease + Great knife + power stance Reduvia melts bosses. Crazy how people dismissed Bandit as one of the worst classes to start, but with hemorrhaging now scaling with Arcane might make it one of the best.
Aka the hollow build from Dark Souls 3.
