To all people below who are whining how easily and early you can get (8) and (9) compared to (6) and (7). You understand that you aren't supposed to be overpowered right at the start of the game, right? This is open world RPG, but you must explore each area seriatim, like, to find SSS [1]/[2] in Limgrave, then [3]/[4] in Liurnia etc., not run straight to the area that is scaled to be late game. Although I admit that devs themselves made a huge mistake by making Dragonbarrow accessible so early. The merchant in Dragonbarrow even sells note which says that you can skip half of Caelid by using teleport in Fort Gael. This is just stupid, why should I go there during early midgame in the first place.
Btw I never had a problem with gaining SSS [7], just don't skip Deeproot Depths and kill those disgusting hands in Mountaintops down to the last.

It's stupid that you can get this many Somber Smithing Stones, but only enough Smithing Stone 8’s to upgrade like 3 regular weapons.

The one north of the hidden path to the halig tree is actually north of the consecrated snowfield grace on a rock formation protected by blue laser spheres
Why does the bottom of this wiki entry read "This information is very much not unreal. This item is basically impossible to get at the moment. Nothing to do about it i guess?". What the heck is that supposed to mean?

The one in caelid in the chairs is west of the dragonbarrow west site of grace, not east

Why does it say there’s one on the marker in the Lake of Rot near a Lesser Alabaster Lord? I don’t see that anywhere

Someone already mentioned this, but I wanted to mention it again so someone with edit powers might update the page. There's a Somber 9 missing from this list: "Mountaintops of the Giants: On a corpse on the bridge between the Stargazer's Ruins plateau and the minor Erdtree plateau. From the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins site of grace travel North through the ravine and then take the left fork to the West. Jump up the Spiritspring onto the plateau and then take the southern bridge. It will be on a corpse in the middle of the bridge."

there's one on the bridge above the ancient snow valley ruins in mountaintops

Rock formation north of the hidden path to haligtree. A little more detail would've been nice. How far north, past the next grace? Just somewhere in the whole consecrated snowfield since it's all north of it? Good luck finding this one, there's hundreds of rock formations "north" of the hidden path to the haligtree to horse platform up yet none had a somber 9.

THANK THE GODS! This early-game +9 is a blessing to know of.

Theres on in mohgwyn Palace too, idk why it's not on here and thought I was losing my mind until I got to it again.
From the approach grace just follow the wall to your right going down, it's in the same cave as the scarab with blood tax ashes of war

Where you find the SS stone 8 teardrop scarab near Caelid divine tower, theres a little road going down to the tower's lower level, theres a circle from dead bodies on chairs with a lot of loot. You can find there a SS stone 9 with a lot other stuff. Basically 2 levels for your weapon in one place.

I just found in Caelid while farming the vulgar militia near farum greatbridge. It dropped off a scarab next to the pillars/pile of rot. I've never seen it there before... potential rarespawn?

The one in Consecrated Snowfields from the scarab is NOT a somber smithing stone 9, but 8!! Thank you for wasting my time!!

it's lovely to be at a point in the game where you're finding +10 somber stones and constant +8 somber stones but there's no +9 stones to be seen

For the miner’s bell bearing, I love how it says “abandoned temple”.
Sir, that temple has several enemies. Didn’t die, but still LOL
there is no somber 9 with the alabaster lord in the Yelough Anix Tunnel, just killed and it's not there

Somber 7 drop from the hands in Mountaintops, West of Giant Gravepost grace. 8’s drop from the battle Mages before first boss in Haligtree.

The one in the consecrated snowfields atop a rock formation west of the minor Erdtree is actually invisible. The ones nearby that drop 7 and 8 stones are visible but this one is invisible.

There is one on the bridge leading to the Minor Erdtree in the Mountaintop of the Giants, on a corpse on a chair. This is the bridge that Corhyn and Goldmask are on, if you've progressed Corhyn's quest that far.

There is an error on the interactive map showing one of these in Darkroot Depths at a location I can confirm is NOT there.
Where is the one on the bridge above Ancient Snow Valley Ruins? It's not there.
Found 2 more not listed here, one is dropped by the boss in the Tunnels of Tears & the other is in a chest hidden away near the end of the Illestria Ruins dungeon.

"Under the broken bridge at the southwest of Crumbling Farum Azula" - it is not under the bridge and the map description is also incorrect saying its on the cliffside. It is to the north-west of this particular bridge, under a tree on a corpse, guarded by Wormface enemies. The map coordinates are correct however, it is exactly where it was pinged.
- Anonymous
There is one in Mogwhyn Palace, in the small indent/alcove by the pool of blood past the skeleton summoning things, before the ramp-up to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road. (Just walk down from where most people are doing the rune farm and keep looking right. There’s also a scarab there that drops Blood Tax) You can still get two earlier in Caleid but this is another relatively early one. Add it to the wiki please.

How is this easier to obtain than somber 7 I will not understand

i now see that is actually on the wiki already... i apologize. can you move the text so the handmaiden store is the first on the list? i apologize if you didn't want it like that, but i was confused for a few days. love you all :D

available from the handmaiden merchant in round table hold, i just don't know when lol. don't have it on my alt characters, but i can buy Somber 9's on my main for 25k. Maybe its once you beat the game or something, i really dont know. Good luck!

The SSS placement is really bad.
The [6] was already kinda hard to get, but the [7] is even more gated, whereas the [8] and [9] you can get super easily and I got BOTH before I even got the [6] one.

From my girlfriends game, it appears that "Dragonbarrow, Caelid: Dropped by a Teardrop Scarab found to the west of Farum Greatbridge." is night-time only. Was not there during the day, switched to night and it spawned. Both after slaying the dragon.

for the calid tower one just go to the tower and there is a circle of chairs idk why that was so hard to say

"Found on a corpse in a circle of chairs south of Divine Tower of Caelid. From the Dragonbarrow West Site of Grace, hug the left side of the spring with two dragons and turn around to follow a ramp leading down to the chairs."
Let me provide a better description since this doesn't appear on the interactive map. Start at Dragonbarrow West, go towards pond with 2 dragons, loop around the rock wall to the LEFT and you'll find a hill leading DOWN to the base of the Divine Tower with some roots arcing above you. Coordinates are -164.84375 : 145.71875 roughly.

The interactive map is showing +8 not +9
What happened?
There's a Somber Smithing Stone [9] on one of the 4 corpses at 9 chairs that are all facing inward this is a little bit north down a hill just past 2 dragons in a lake which are both east of where you get the Dragonbarrow map the other 3 didnt have any type of smithing stone

There is no somber stone 9 in the onyx lord room in Yelough tunnels. That is false information.
There is one in Mogwhyn Palace, in the cave by the pool of blood past the skeleton summoning things, before the ramp-up to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road. This is the earliest way to get a Somber Smithing Stone (9)

This one is quite badly described:
"Found on a corpse in a circle of chairs south of Divine Tower of Caelid. From the Dragonbarrow West Site of Grace, hug the left side of the spring with two dragons and turn around to follow a ramp leading down to the chairs."
Here is how yo find it more easily:
It's below the ramp that leads to the Divine Tower of Caelid. The access point is on the right side of the ramp (that leads to the Divine Tower).
Exakt coordinates are:
-164, -145

There's one dropped by a white scarab to the west of the Farum Greatbridge site in Dragonbarrow

Theres another in Elphael, right behind the rotted eldtree guardian. You can also find a somber ancient dragon smithing stone on the other side of the bridge.

I've found one at the foot of the Caleid Divine Tower. Going from Dragonborrow grace jump down the roots to the bottom or on the way towards Erd Tree there's a path going to the bottom of the tower.
There will be a circle of chairs with corpses, you find a bunch of runes and the Somber Stone 9.

just found a second incredibly easy one to get in north Caelid, thanks to a video. it doesn't seem to be here yet so here you go:
travel to the Farum Greatbridge grace, and immediately go west to the tiny ruins you can see close by. you'll hear a scarab very near you, inside the ruins to the south. you get a +9 somber smithing stone as a drop from this scarab (for a total of two in this region, which is amazing).
when attacking the scarab, be careful of the enemies here, they hit hard and might give the scarab enough time to vanish. you might need to clear them out beforehand, but i just rushed the scarab and took the damage.

there is one tucked in the corner of the room before the boss doors with the onyx lord in the yelough anix tunnel, plenty of somber 8s there too

There's one in Caelid region, super easy to get. Just go east from Isolated Merchant's Shack to the tower nearby, one of the corpses in front of it gives this to you. Allows for early pickup since there are no requirements to go there.

Found 2 of them in Ruined City of Farum Azula, one is near a "bonfire" called Dragon Temple or something like that and the other is in a zone full on ugly enemies spitting at you, you have to take an elevator down to enter the zone.

If you've raised the platforms on Lake of Rot your first time through but can't get up on the platforms themselves just head to Grand Cloister grace; go up the stairs, turn right on the corner and if you look directly NORTH-EAST you will see a pillar with the button that you can step on that will rise a platform for you to obtain your somber smithing stone 9 or defeat the lesser alabaster lord. If you fall down or die, there is a ladder up a new path south-east that you can climb connected to the wall south of where you stepped on the button previously.

From the "Farum Greatbridge" grace, go directly West across the road and you'll come across a scarab that should drop this.
A lot easier to obtain than some of the other alternatives.

Found this one very close to somber stone 8. on the map you can see this shape with a circle inside of it next to where you would find somber stone 8 and there is a slope you can walk downwards near it and there will be a circle of chairs with loot which includes somber stone 9.
Does the wiki have any info on what enemies you can farm for these?
