Elden Ring: How to Get Unlimited Smithing Stones 7 & 8
Fans that are interested in purchasing 
Smithing Stone [7] and 
Smithing Stone [8] should set their sights on obtaining the 
Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing [4] . This item is earned upon defeating bosses in a late-game area, which players can travel to from the Mountaintops of the Giants region in Elden Ring. Specific details on this area and the relevant bosses can be found below, and fans that are attempting to avoid enemy and location spoilers are advised to stop reading now.
With that established, the location of interest is called 
Crumbling Farum Azula , and players can reach it by speaking with 
Melina while resting at the Forge of the Giants Site of Grace in Elden Ring. Fans can access this particular Site of Grace after defeating the Fire Giant in the Mountaintops of the Giants, and its position has been marked on the following map. Talking to Melina at this location will trigger a short cutscene, which culminates with fans being transported to Crumbling Farum Azula.
Upon arriving at this location, players should start making their way downward, using broken platforms and stairs to descend. Eventually this path will lead fans to the Godskin Duo, the bosses that drop the Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing [4]. To make reaching these bosses as simple as possible, the following video shows the route that is to be taken, and Elden Ring players should make sure to activate all the Sites of Grace that they pass along the way.
With the Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing [4] in hand, players should make their way to Elden Ring's Roundtable Hold and give the item to the Twin Maiden Husks. This action will add Smithing Stones 7 and 8 to the vendors' inventory, and they cost 9,000 and 12,000 Runes respectively. As with the other stones that can be bought from the Twin Maiden Husks, fans can purchase as many Smithing Stones 7 and 8 as they want so long as they have Runes to spend on them.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S.
