I do think these are tad more rare than they should be. I've done virtually all of the content before the Godskin Duo (both Astels, almost all the caves, catacombs, graves, etc, Ranni's quest, Mohg, Malenia, Dragonbarrow, Volcano Manor/Rycard) and I still can only have about 1.5 weapons upgraded. Pretty annoying since I wanted to try out a different weapon on the Duo only to finally look it up and realize that they were gating me being able to upgrade haha. It's fine, got them first try and whatnot, but still a bit annoying to play another 10-20 hours of content since upgrading my first weapon and STILL not be able to upgrade another one. I have 5+ Ancient Smithing Stones ready to +25 things but couldn't +18 my ballista or +19 my Great Stars. IMO, this ball bearing should be in the Consecrated Snowfields where Astel is (the marked cave) like the others, not a few minutes before the end of the game.

Y’know, after playing all this time, I never really realized how they badly they screw over normal smithing stones with how scarce the +7 ones are.

The red robe guy (fire knight?) nearest the 7th Floor Storehouse site of grace in Shadow Keep drops (7) and (8) stones. Good spot to farm them if you have not unlocked purchasing them.

Drops almost every time from the fire knight at the bottom of the lift by storehouse, first floor site of grace

Also drops from the golems south west of ancient ruins base site of grace
Got 2 from one golem

I'd say farm the tunnel (with Silver Scarab equipped), because these miners also drop +8 stones from time to time.

All Messmer Knight variants have a chance to drop these and 5 and 6 stones as well, sometimes even x2 of each other either a 5 or 6. Killing Messmer Knights could be a good way to farm 7s from if you do the DLC before you get the Ball Bearing from the Godskins.

2x of these drop routinely from Fire Knights in the Specimen Storehouse. If your build can farm these from them, it's ready for the DLC endgame bosses btw.

You can find 4 of them on one of the bodies guarded by the dragon south of the Cerulean Coast grace in the DLC.

For the 3 at Castle Sol, an easier way to get these 7's is to drop down one more level to the entrance to the rat room, which is on the North side of the building. This way you can lure the rats outside and kill them.

I absolutely hate trying to lure the golem to the statue near Freezing Lake in Mountaintops. It's very clear From just got lazy and rushed and didn't test anything there because he deaggros and starts backpedaling constantly and sometimes it takes me 5 minutes or longer just to get that moron to hit the statue.

There is also one in Volcano Manor.
From the Temple of Eiglay, take the two cage lifts down. The Stone is on a corps behind a magma pit, from wich a non boss Magma Wyrm spawns, when getting close to it.

Of all things that'd drop a smithing stone ball bearing for this it's the Godskin duo? What sense does that make they're not even near the ground.

“3x Found inside a statue with a glowing crack at the bottom of the western side of the frozen lake.”
Awful directions. It’s the east end of the frozen river, not the bottom west of the lake. But rather than fix it, some sad nerd keeps deleting my comments.

The 3x stones in Mountaintops near the lake has terrible directions. It's the EASTERN end of the frozen RIVER, not the WESTERN end of the frozen LAKE.

Currently trying to farm Smithing Stone [7] in Yelough Anix Tunnel. I'm at 11 Arcane (base for hero) but wearing the Silver Tear Mask (+8 Arcane) and Silver Scarab talisman (+75 Discovery) so my discovery is 194. The Item Drop Calculator claims that this increases the drop rate from 3% to 5.94%. There are 8 miners in the cave. If I'm remembering my probabilities class correctly, the odds of killing all of them and NOT getting a SS[7] are 94.06^8 percent, which is to say, 61.27%, so the odds of getting AT LEAST ONE during a loop through the cave are 38.73%. I think! A Silver Pickled Fowl Foot increases your discovery another 50, to 244 in this case, which I believe increases your odds per run to 43.99%. One fowl foot only lasts you about as long as one run through the cave (at least how I'm doing it) so this doesn't sound very worth it unless you have a fat stack of fowl feet.

Found 2 more in Mountaintops of the giants. One is dropped by a scarab hanging in a tree at Zamor Ruins. Starting at the grace, follow the cliff to the left until you find the tree. Second one is in the Guardian's Garrison, enter and find the ladder to the left. Smithing stone is at the end of the walkway guarded by a flame guardian.

Think Yelough Anix Tunnel has been fixed. I just spend a little under 30 minutes just farming the miners (and running away from the tall blue guys) and got 9 7s, 2 8s, and 2 6s. I don't think I got that lucky :)
One in Deeproot Depths, south of walking mausoleum. On the east side of a building accessible by the horse leaping vortex.

The 4 from Subterranean Shunning Grounds where are the crayfish didn't stock in the inventory. Don't know what happened. Went back to the blacksmith and just found that I have only the single ss (7) I found earlier.
Bug? Anyone else with the same problem?

Farm at the Prayer Room SoG in Haligtree. There is an area between there and the lower room with the knights. Maybe 20 soldiers you can farm a run. Drops fairly often. You'll get 7's and 8's and the occasional 6. Its a small area so you dont have to slog thru a dungeon. This started as a Rune farm for me since they are 2500 a pop but I go here mainly for the 7's

So there is no tunnel dungeon associated with Smithing Stone 7s? Even SS8s have a dungeon in the Consecrated Snowfield.

Some of these are so vague. To get to the x4 in the shunning ground tunnels from the tunnel with the hole on top, jump down and turn around head through the doorway then continue straight and keep going until you get to another doorway with a blue scarab, enter and they are sitting in the dead end.

soliders in the haligee tree also have a chance of dropping smithing stones 5-7. starting at the prayer room grace and work your way down to the 2 cleanrot knights and repeat. plus easy rune farming.

The creepy hands in the Eastern Mountain Giants area all seem to drop them the first time you kill them. They didnt the 2nd time i I tried. Not sure if its a 1 time thing or if the RNG just drops low after the 1st kill. Sitting at 60 arcane for those wondering about my discovery points

what guards in Haligtree drop Smith Stones 7? I got 2 to drop Level 1 Stones around the Prayer Room in the Brace.
Is there another section where soldiers drop these? Can someone please specify exaction location for these to drop and which soldiers since there's a lot of similar Halig soldiers.
- Anonymous
So far the most effective farm for me (with 14 arcane and golden scarab equipped) has been in the Hligtree starting at the Prayer Room grace and clearing every single Haligree soldier around down to the first room of the 2 Cleanrot Knights. There's also a walkway the opposite way of that room with some more soldiers. They are easy to crit with the Black Knife chest and most of them die fairly easily.

the upgrade path for items that require somber stones is so much linear and easier. it gets so damn old chasing down stacks of smithing stones every playthrough.
Ya the 7 n 8's are the real wall for upgrading. The game vomits sber stones at 7 n 8 and even 9. It also vomits regular ancient dragon smithing stones but it makes sure to hide sber ancient stones and these until the very last 2 areas of the game lol

Found an easy farm at "Foot of the Forge" grace in the mountain-top, right before Fire Giant. There is a small cave directly north with 3 small hands, they each have a chance to drop a stone. I did this 10 times and got 5 Somber [7]. If you want some runes too, steer Torent slightly to the bird on the west side of the route and a giant hand will crush the bird for 1k free souls. I did this with 21 arcane and no other drop boosters.
- Anonymous
These smithing stones in particular feel like they're the cause of most somber vs regular weapon issues, because there's just not many of them before Mountaintops, meanwhile if you know where to like Somber 6, 7, and 8 are far easier to get before then.

There is two of the same location listed in on the page. One lists it as the upper plateau, whilst the other uses the actual name. Which is the Moonlight altar. Not sure why the three gazebos there are listed twice. (Yes I know there's two of the three gazebos that have Smithing Stone 7s, but both of the listed locations say to check both of those gazebos.)
It's really obnoxious that you can only buy these when the game is pretty much over.

There are 3 in a breakable statue in the Mountaintops of the Giants, almost due south of the Freezing Lake grace. The statue is right at the end of the frozen river, where you can't progress further (and the lake is just ahead on the map). There's a sleeping giant on the river right by it. Easy to lead him over to break open the statue for you.
