No UNcracked red eye orb in Dark Souls 2?

[King Robert Baratheon]

I just want to make sure it for sure does not exist. If it does i'll do whatever it takes to get it. I'm tired of having to farm specific enemies just to get a few red eye orbs. Idk how I see pvp videos where the person has like 70 red eye orbs in their inventory. Yes I know the in the BoB covenant winning duels gives you a cracked red eye orb but idk how someone could win so consistently to get so many cracked red eye orbs.

On the bright side, in Dark Souls 3 you get a uncracked red eye orb pretty early on for killing a Darkwraith that was trapped in a cell until you found the key.

Well, you can also be part of the Bell Keepers Covenant, then you would only need to use their ring.
You can also buy them.
Whereas I think the best way to get them is through the BoB covenant, dueling makes you better at pvp and even grants you an Orb if you win.
You can also be part of the sentinels if have 2m+ smm.
Blue orbs are easier to farm and the invasions are amazing.
(Sorry for any grammar mistake)

Dont worry, your english is really good. In my experience the blue sentinels covenant is dead. My previous character was a Paladin (high faith and strength, wanting nothing more to cleanse Drangleic of red phantom scum) but I almost never got to invade a "guilty" person. It just kept saying it couldn't find someone to invade.

And the BoB covenant has so many hackers is ridiculous. And when there isn't hackers everyone is using extremely op combinations. Somehow they are able to use spells that buff their defenses, actual offensive magic, and use greatswords. How can you have enough strength to wield greatswords like sticks and use powerful magic? It's bullsh*t. They also always use resins on their weapons. IMO duels should be done without any forms of magic and any buffing of weapons with resins or spells. Anyways, shame on you From Software for not putting uncracked red eye orbs in Dark Souls 2.

BoB ain't that bad. Ive been hanging out there alot lately (since iron keep is quite slow these days at 150sl/1.5-1.75m sm), and most the people arent just cheesing as hard as possible.

Depends on your SL though. At 200sl you see way more self/weapon buffing going on, but at 150 there are mostly decent players there for a good fight instead of a 10-second slaughter.

Just take an axe or a heide sword or something that has attacks that track well and try not to trade with the buffed katanas and you should have plenty of orbs in no time.

Or just ask for some. Most people like myself go to the arena but don't use the orbs to invade alot of people so have stacks of 99 sitting around doing nothing

[King Robert Baratheon]

That sounds like something I'll try. Im at 160 soul level, give or take a few.

[SapphireSouls]

I could give you some orbs, depending on your SM.

I think the leader of the BoB sells infinite amount of craked red eye orbs in NG+ and above

[TrueArchery]

I've had 2 99 stacks, 1s given away, 1s used, and now I got 1 stack "back" from dueling there.

I mean once you get the hang of pvp your winrate is 8/10+. Pretty fast to get a couple of orbs when the matchmaking is fast, like today.

(Edit: on my BoB-brawer that is. I've got many more across my other characters)

Well sh*t. I hope that's true. One of the Sanctum Knights in Shulva dropped his Sanctum Knight Leggings so now I don't have to try and get to rank 3 in the rat covenant (at which point you get the slumbering dragoncrest ring which makes you completely silent). Perfect for my dex assassin build. Useless in coordinated pvp (unless you don't care about starting off a duel with a sneak backstab) but very useful when invading.

I'm not sure if From expressed the reason why they did this, but by personal speculation, I think there's no Red Eye Orb because the BoB HEAVILY encourages you to be good at win PvP duals. By this, the mindset is:

Win Consistantly: Infinite invasions and rise in ranks
Lose Consistantly: Pay with souls for more invasions, never rank up

This explains why people will use the most meta sets in the game (I never said this was a good change to 1, by the way). People will also do anything for the swag aura.

Funnily enough the Iron-Keep-PvPers have the same "playing to win"-attitude. Oh, and a good part of the players in 1 and 3, too.
And there's nothing wrong with it, they've fun winning. I like winning more than losing, too, but I don't have to triple-buff my high-counter-weapon in order to get a decent K:D-ratio, but that's from experience and lots of time spent on PvPing, and if I was ever using Sacred Oath and Dark Weapon on a Leo Ring Silverblack-Spear my winrate would be godly.

I realize that this sounds kinda as if I'm bragging (not intended btw), but you won't reach the Rank 3 in the BoB without solid skills either, just a good build won't let you win against good players frequently. I think that's why they went to the 500-point-mark, to encourage players to spend a lot of time on improving their PvP-skills. Kinda questionable idea, but in fact most Grinding-heavy games don't do much else. I personally as a Monster-Hunter-Fan like it more than most players, I guess.

I kind of disagree. Without a solid build reaching rank 3 in the covenant is borderline impossible. Being skilled is a plus, but i've seen some people with absolutely 0 skill just climbing ranks like crazy because they got some insane setup.

Oh well all the shiny-aura-dudes I'm fighting are either decent with a good build or pretty good with a solid, but not in particular strong build (so no Mundane-build or junk like that). It's been a while since I was fighting my last Havelmonster with all stats at 50+ so I figured that they're kinda dead. And all the tryharding dudes who ran to heal and rebuff their Warped Sword and all that were still Rank 0 or 1 and lost to me in 9/10 cases. They'd probably win more against the lower-than-average players.
But I didn't play too much in the last time so you could be right. This was just my personal experience.

This was a good explanation. I never replied until now because I've been busy and the thread seemed to fill up really fast. I'm not ready to do pvp (duels or all that iron bridge madness) yet. Maybe in NG+ because I killed Titchy Gren out of rage in NG. My thirst for blood knew no bounds that day. Rip in pieces you oddly interesting little b*stard.
