Archthones rare drops and farming

[Blerrger19]

Foreword: idk why it needs said but apparently it does--this is a thread for listing drops, not for arguing or asking any random questions about the mod. Please take it somewhere else or start your own thread. I am of course happy to answer those questions, but please understand that's not what this post is for.

Afaik you can farm titanite shards and embers pretty reliably from the warring knights near the Village Stables bonfire under the Archthrone of the Bountiful Queen (Undead Settlement). I've been using this location to lazily grind, but you can also buy titanite shards from Ebrius (merchant at the Nexus) after you give him a drink (spoilers ;P)

Until now, I assumed I had seen every possible drop from those knights (full set, weapons, shields, etc.) except I just got very lucky and one dropped a lightning gem--which I assume is a rare find because it's literally the only one I have and I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. The blue ones drop blessed gems and their armor which is just a variant of the lothric knight set--all the same stats, slightly different look.

Anyway, consider this a thread for the community to list their findings on rare drops and farming locations. And please stop telling me there are Followers in Carthus. I'm aware. Also, they don't drop large shards. See below.

EDIT: Forgot to mention you can farm large titanite shards from Followers around the Forsaken Encampment (4th bonfire of Buried Giants). They also drop heavy gem.
Apparently some workers in around Village Stables drop them too.

You can farm the sunless set from the knights in Quella's room. I only mention this because it wasn't obvious to me at first that you can kill them without consequence. They also drop embers and lunar cocoons. And the spear ones drop their spear, which scales with intelligence despite having a faith requirement weirdly. I only mention this because it might be a good weapon for a pure caster since it has very low stat requirements and primarily scales with intelligence, also because split damage is absurdly good in the demo. You can infuse it too!
Spiders in the Cathedral of the Deep drop Murky Moss, pretty much everything else drops Celestial Pupa, and the winter lanterns drop humanity.
Hooded Thralls can drop deep gems.
Angelic Maidens (bell ladies from Bloodborne) drop hollow gems--but there's maybe 2 in the entire game??? anyway I farm the one behind Village Stables

For the uninformed (and for the record ) .

2. Is it of any consequence to the DS 3 gamer.? and
3. If it is significant why no seperate Community forum.?

by followers, u mean those guys in carthus from ashes of ariendel right?

[Blerrger19]

Ashes of Ariendel, yes, Carthus, no. Farron Followers aka Followers of the undead legion/Abyss Watchers--the enemies with funny pointy helms who wield spears and shields, sometimes torches, sometimes torch and sabre.

Afaik only the followers past the Forsaken Encampment drop large titanite

There are no chunks. It's a demo so they didn't bother putting in all the materials, since +5 normal weapons are perfectly fine for everything in the demo.

[0wnz0r]

those knights at village stables can also drop blessed gems. i got 3 from farmin them for titanite.

those followers also drop heavy gems iirc
