Best spots for rare reagents endless farming.

Im not here to dicuss anything about how awesome the Elden Ring crafting system is, just to share some knowledge to help you locate the best places in the Lands Between so you can get all your sleep and rot pots needs covered.

One of the things i liked from the DLC trailer was a tarnished throwing a massive pot.....picture a humongous ritual pot full of rot and love!, lets start.

The Aeonian butterfly are mainly needed to craft all arrows/bolts, pots and rot grease consumables.

You will be able to loot a respectable amount of them druing your Caelid and Halightree travels, also of course killing the pests (both types) in the rot pools or before entering Elphael Root area. We all know how dastarly and cheap the pests are......so here you have another source, every single basilisk in the lake of rot.

Basilisks are mostly harmless if you avoid their deathblight clouds, also they are extremly easy to kill. As you can see in the gif above, the first plataform you spawn in the lake (near the grace) has two basilisks you can kill without problems. Then all you have to do is to teleport the the grace and repeat.....better than the pests for sure.

Have little to say about the mushrooms, other than they are not that rare but needed to craft rot pots and other consumables. They respawn after a grace reset and you can mainly loot them in Caelid and from the zombies in the Shaded Castle.

This spot seconds away from the Caelid Cathedral of Dragon comunnion will allow you to get all you want without having to kill anything.

Now here we have the probably most useful lily of the game and good news, they are not that uncommon. Used to craft anything sleep related the consumables obtained from them are life savers in a lot of situations. Per example, a fellow tarnished just posted today he was having troubles dealing with a runebear. I regret now not suggesting him to throw a sleep pot to the bear face......and not only bears, trolls, Godskin cultists (both types) and even bosses.

As you can see the jellyfish outside Apostate Derelict have decent chances to drop them. Also the whole church is covered by them but you can obtain decent stacks of lilies in just a few minutes.

And thats all i hope it helps someone.

I have decent spots located for Miquella lilies but since they are mainly used for bewitching branches (wich need sacramental buds) i omitted them.

Do you know any other good spot? For golden centipedes, sacramental buds and nascent butterflies?.

I've done quite a few farms... particularly that Aeonian Butterfly one....
... but eventually I tend to cave and just use a trainer to multiply materials. Grinding isn't fun. Once I've been through the experience and know what it is like, I can just pretend I spent 2 weeks doing it constantly without actually doing so.

Well From updated and made a lot of extremly common consumables farmable, without RNG involved so if you are interested in a lot of actually useful and upgraded versions of them the effort required to farm mats is minimal and without RNG involved.

I cant honestly understand why someone would use CE now......well if they give zero damns about playing online, of course......

Now about the hefty pots location. I got 8 by exploring in two or three expansion clears, there are a some well hidden but you can get yourself 4 right after you enter the Shadowlands. There is one in the Scorches Ruins and 3 inside Belurat Gaol (mentioned in a post above as the location for the big new big Jar helm).

Thats pretty much like half of the pots in less than one hour if you really want to upgrade old consumables fast.

I have to update the guide......but lets throw the furnace visage farming location here.

The low ranked Messmer foot soldiers swarming the broken wicker man just outside Shadow Keep drop it. A pain in the ass to farm because the closest grace is where we killed the Holy Hypo.....and have to wait for the eefing elevator each time, but at least (specially if you have no plans to NG) now you know how to get endless Furnace pots.

The others mats are embers of Messmer (everywhere near Messmer goons camp) and redflesh shrooms both extremly common.

You can buy Redflesh Mushroom's just fyi.

You are missing one of those hanging bell bearings that you need to shoot down. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Mushroom-Seller's+Bell+Bearing+(1)

At least that is one less thing to farm. :P

Yeah, mentioned the 10 new bell bearing above. In this case and to get enough pots to kill all the wicker man you dont even need the bells since both the Messmer embers and shrooms are pretty much everywhere and respawn after a grace resting.
