In the vast and brutal world of Elden Ring, securing powerful gear often depends on gathering the right upgrade materials and crafting components. While many basic items are easy to come by, certain rare materials require extra effort—and smart farming—to stockpile. Whether you're leveling weapons, crafting consumables, or simply looking to trade or [url=https://www.u4gm.com/elden-r… Elden Ring Items[/url], these rare drops are worth your time.

Here are 11 of the most valuable materials in Elden Ring and why you should be farming them.
1. Somber Smithing Stone [9]

Essential for maxing out special weapons, this late-game upgrade stone can be tricky to find in bulk. Though some are available through exploration, repeatable sources are limited. Consider farming enemies in endgame zones like Crumbling Farum Azula if you’re not ready to buy [url=https://www.u4gm.com/elden-r… Ring Items[/url] through other means.
2. Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone

Used to bring regular weapons to +25, these stones are among the rarest upgrade items in the game. Most are tied to questlines or hidden in secret locations. Players often trade [url=https://www.u4gm.com/elden-r… Ring Runes[/url] to access them more quickly via trusted sources.
3. Ghost Glovewort [9]

This is the final-tier upgrade material for legendary Spirit Ashes. It’s mainly found in the deepest parts of Nokron and the Haligtree. With high demand for these items, some opt to farm them extensively, while others prefer to visit U4GM and buy Elden Ring Items directly.
4. Grave Glovewort [9]

Similar to its Ghost counterpart, this item upgrades standard Spirit Ashes to their highest level. A consistent farming spot is the Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs, though drop rates are limited.
5. Sacred Tear

Although not technically a material, Sacred Tears improve Flask potency and are finite in number. Completing churches in dangerous zones like Mountaintops of the Giants is the only way to collect them all.
6. Larval Tear

Used for respeccing your stats via Rennala, these tears are precious for those experimenting with multiple builds. Farmable only through select enemies (like the Grafted Scion mimics), or acquired in limited quantities from NPCs, they’re always in high demand.
7. Altering Remembrance

While not common, this special material lets you convert boss remembrances into new items. With the right know-how, these can be turned into powerful weapons or spells—or sold for Elden Ring Runes to fund other builds.
8. Old Fang

Required for crafting powerful throwing weapons, this item drops from beast-type enemies, especially in the Mistwood region. A consistent farm spot near the Siofra River makes it easier to gather in bulk for crafting or selling.
9. Nascent Butterfly

This rare crafting material is used in potent buffs and cures. Found near high-level Erdtree Avatars and other powerful enemies, it’s worth keeping a stash if you’re prepping for PvP or difficult boss runs.
10. Aeonian Butterfly

Crucial for crafting Scarlet Rot-based consumables, Aeonian Butterflies are mainly located near Rot-affected zones like the Lake of Rot. Their limited respawns make them a prime target for farming runs.
11. Golden Sunflower

Used in crafting items that boost healing or Holy damage resistance, Golden Sunflowers grow near Minor Erdtrees and church ruins. Their rarity makes them worth grabbing every time you pass a spawn point.


Farming these rare materials can take time and patience, but they’re a vital part of surviving and thriving in Elden Ring. For players who prefer to skip the grind or are focused on competitive builds, some choose to buy Elden Ring Items through trusted marketplaces like U4GM. Whether you farm or trade, having a healthy supply of these rare resources ensures you're always prepared for what the Lands Between throw at you.

And remember: more Runes mean more upgrades. Whether you earn your Elden Ring Runes the long way or look for a shortcut, knowing which materials to target is half the battle.
