I hope the Boom Hammer got a much needed buff. That weapon is too cool, but it's almost useless thanks to high stamina consumption.

Trading for BLOODROCKS is available,..

Well I am really excited right now . 60 insight is pretty high,.. but less horrible as grinding level 4-5 bosses and hoping for a drop, where probability is almost 0 ,.. even with insane item discovery at 600

[Me-Time]

I just started playing. Just got to the sewers and got to the giant rat with Molotov cocktails. I have to ask, what do you mean about hoping for a drop?

[pyroxxx]

Well enemies drop things ,.. but it is random,.. Rats sometimes drop throwing knifes/viles for instance,.. It is useful to know (later in the game) where you can farm for shards/twin shards/chunks/Rocks,.. so you can upgrade your weapons,..Most of it depends on item discovery stats ,.. insight +10 + equipped runes,.. but then it scales with arcane,.. (which sucks balls) and does not help much in terms of chance,.. though I can get chunks with relative ease (upper cathedral ward farming werewolves with blue eyes),.. Getting a rock is near impossible: 1-in main game, some are in chests for every type of chalice,..or a random drop from very hard chalice dungeon boss,.. It is really hard to get stuff to +10 in this game in general on New game character,.. hell you basically could not upgrade to +10 everything even after NG+7,.. Now you can farm for insight trough coop or get tons of Madman's knowledge from chalices and drops,.. usually in an avarage playtrough you might have enough insight for at least 2-3 more rocks because of this patch,.. this is great,..

PS: if you just started,.. (find as many shards as you can,.. I usually have all my stuff +3 before even screwing with father G,.. this boss used to be so difficult on my first run,.. (because I sucked at stagger with gun)

[pyroxxx]

Those bigger guys down in sewers drop them sometimes,.. plus there are plenty hidden on the map,.. (shards are not a problem usually you have way too many really quick ) good luck bro

[Me-Time]

Oh I get what you mean. Getting shards isn't easy. I mainly find them I think and then can't find anyone who specifically drops it. Thanks for the insight. I don't think I've received "chunks".

Blood Rock trading was only a matter of time. Now if they could also allow more gem slots for firearms, and even moreso for flamethrowers (since I use them), I would be most pleased!

[hugogs]

Please no more gem slots for firearms, do you want to get one-shotted by a evelyn? It would be fine for flamethrowers however
