Where do people get SO MANY consumables?

[Orgazmo]

I see people using pots, snacks, and greases all the way like no tomorrow. I use only what I can buy in the shop because even thought of going for gathering berries for few hours bring me sorrow.

So every player and everystremer in their off hours taking basket and go in the wilderness to pick moss and mushrooms?

I'm nearly out of Rot and Death boluses, and I feel cold fingers of grief spending one day on a farm...

I personally grinded like a milling stone before the DLC launch ( to my detriment by the way ).
Save scumming is popular.
Cheat Engine has been used.

Yeah that's what you guys always say. "I'm merely restoring my backup save *reloads save*. I'm merely skipping grinding *spawns in 999 of every item*. I'm merely making the fight less unfair *toggles on godmode*". You always have excuses on why what you're doing is justified and not cheating.

Not everyone has malicious intent though. Like I say everywhere, I save scum for boss rematch, forever. In the latter game, when I'm not leveling up anymore, I might get distracted and go help some randos. Did I replenish my consumables? Probably. Am I getting to game the system? No.
And is there a distinction between mean red men with unlimited blue shards vs gold bros with the same?

IDK, I just farm, never felt like it takes that long. Doing a consumables focused run RN with a great katana, playing as Owl, and it's annoying sometimes but it's like, 10 minutes to get the materials for X item I need for the next 10 hours of using it so I have no real issues.

Arteria leaf farming can go to hell though.

Fromsoft is the one added trading, duping was inevitable. From also has garbage and convoluted quest design that punishes people for exploring and playing the game blind. Not everybody has a spare 100 hours to the playthrough the game 3-4 times to see how exactly the quest chain broke.

Imagine caring how people play their video games though. Straight up unhinged behavior.

This....... is not an issue worth getting upset about. If you feel strongly enough that consumable items can make or break your experience in this game (whatever, but fine), then dupe away. If you don't, then don't. You don't LOSE anything either way.

Goober obsessed with grinding for god-knows-why. Have fun killing enemies over and over and over again just to get 2 invasions worth of materials out of it.

I'm not accusing anyone of being malicious.

No. They're both equally obnoxious. Someone might argue that the gold is more obnoxious since he needs to cheat while also having the 3v1 advantage and probably the level advantage too but I don't really care.

See what I mean? Everyone keeps coming here to prove me & that other guy right over and over again.

[Dam Stark]

Pots are pretty cheap though?

I was using fire pots during early game pretty much every playthrough. Once you find a burning field with fire butterflies and just go there from time to time to restock you can basically print fire pots as long as you keep collecting mushrooms while traveling.

btw the perfumer cave has 5-7 mosses at the entrance or the crystal cave has 3-5 you can gather like 50-100 in 20 minutes and for coop you ussaly wait about 2 minutes while you wait for a coop you could gather lots of materials

Starlight Shards, Ancient dragon Smithing stones and Larva Tears are rare, and you can only get more in NG+, and that is why I have zero issue save scumming to try out new builds, and weapons. But I wasn't talking about those, but Crafting mats, the most used stuff you can farm.

if it's about making new built, it's very understandable

Yeah If I can farm something, I'll farm it but Larva tears or Ancient smithing, Are Finite per run.
