[@qdsw]

@@Naurfae na I gotta side with Fernando on this one there was no humor or correctness in your comment

[@Naurfae]

@@qdsw you have every right to think that way and just ignore unfunny comments. But I like to respond to silly pedantry in kind, so now I will argue that Alexander literally is a craftable item, even if my original comment was sth along the lines of "haha craftable items are associated with jars, alexander is funny jar man". The two technical qualifications for this run are that sth must be a) an item and b) crafted (by the player). Now, Alexander is sentient, but also definitely an item. So point a) isn't really the issue here. We can learn in Jarburg that jars are probably created by people, so they are crafted by someone. Now we meet Alexander as a fully formed, powerful warrior jar, so he is not created by us. But it's important to remember that cracked pots and ritual pots are also not created by us, they are just found and then filled with ingredients to create an item. My argument is that Alexander becomes a player crafted item as soon as we provide him with ingredients that turn him into a different item. Since Alexander is sentient it would of course be incredibly rude to just do this without his consent, so the crafting process needs to be more of a collaboration. By fighting Radahn we get our crafting ingredients (dead warriors), that we combine with Alexander (by doing his quest). (edit: this is how condition b) is fullfilled, ergo Alexander qualifies for "use" (=summoning) in this run) (Note: this is a joke, there are no stakes to this, please don't take this super seriously, I just think it's fun to have silly thoughts about a fictional world)

In a non challenge run playthrough, making a build centered around this sounds super fun. I did an alchemy build in DS2 and it was really fun. Elden ring has so many unused items that everyone forgets are super unique and fun to use since it's not spamable and infinite like magic. There's so many niche and cool items that can be a blast to throw, eat, and scatter around and experiment with. It's criminal there isn't a better way to get this stuff. I'm a person who is totally patient enough to make a build made entirely for this and use it in PvP. I'm not a meta player, and i have nothing against people who like strong and consistent set ups, but it just sounds boring to have a guaranteed win, i want to surprise people and myself with my builds, i want to have a fun and different experience every time i play.

[@Barnesofthenorth]

It's not that they aren't helpful, farming the materials is just super annoying.

[@protonjones54]

Uplifting aromatic was amazing for my first run, comboing it with mimic tear was awesome. Overall I definitely got a lot of work out of the crafting, and I'm still using it after several new games & over 200 hours in. I crafted tons of volcano pots, crystal darts, fire resins, rainbow stones, turtle necks, and finger remedies... also made a fair amount of fowl foots, boluses, warming stones, raisins and exalted flesh. I just wish farming arteria leaves the normal way was less of a grind. Because of that I simply save-scum the leaves with a buddy so I don't have to farm all day.

I've been doing my own run of this for a bit now! I found that my bread and butter was all the throwing daggers/knives/etc., plus the volcano pots because farming mushrooms sucked.

@@Killroy007 but again, you'd lose rot pots / any damage pots for however many slumber pots ( at least 2 for the first sleep and 3 for the reup. ) you have half your 20 pots used for slumber effect, leaving nit much room for damage.

My favorite crafted item was the uplifting aromatic. Y’know the flask tear that gives you like a 95% damage shield for a single hit? It’s that, in an aoe so it affects your buddies too, and also an attack power buff because why not.

And like all consumables you have equipped, your Mimic tear will spam it if you don't have any friends to play with.

I used crafting a ton as a mage to supplement my shortcomings. Like warming stones to heal allies and crystal darts for quick cheap damage to empty the last few points of my FP before I drink. Crafting was super fun! However I also missed quite a few books that were obvious that I wish I had, like the uplifting aromatic I didn't know existed until now!
