About this Ash of War

This Ash of War grants an armament the Magic affinity and the following skill:

"Glintstone Pebble: Skill that employs the glintstone sorcery of the same name. Follow up with a strong attack to chain this skill into a lunging thrust, performed while the armament is still imbued with glintstone."

Usable on swords as well as polearms capable of thrusting (colossal weapons excepted).

Rogier in Stormveil's chapel

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Rampart Tower

Before you go

• Reach the chapel before Rogier moves.

1. After defeating Margit, follow Gostoc's side entrance through Stormveil to Rampart Tower grace. Leave through its northwestern doorway toward the rampart with the explosive-barrel Warhawks.
2. Get past the birds without standing beside their barrels. Follow the rampart to the small chapel roof and use the ladder to descend inside.
3. Find Sorcerer Rogier in the chapel and ask to learn skills. This meeting is available before defeating Godrick.
4. Buy Glintstone Pebble for 1,500 runes. This is a separate purchase from the skills attached to his rapier gift.

Rogier's balcony shop

Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Table of Lost Grace

Before you go

• Defeat Godrick to move Rogier to the Hold.

1. After defeating Godrick in Stormveil, return to Roundtable Hold. From the central table, go toward the balcony overlooking the lower hall where Mad Tongue Alberich invades.
2. Speak to Rogier seated on that balcony. Tell him about Godrick to receive his separate +8 rapier gift, then open his Ash of War shop for the purchases.
3. Buy Glintstone Pebble for 1,500 runes. This is a separate purchase from the skills attached to his rapier gift.

Rogier's transferred bell-bearing shop

Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Table of Lost Grace

Before you go

• Collect and hand over Rogier's Bell Bearing if he has died.

1. After defeating Godrick in Stormveil Castle, return to Roundtable Hold. Rogier sits on the balcony overlooking the lower hall where Mad Tongue Alberich invades. Speak to him about Godrick to collect his separate +8 rapier gift before progressing his condition.
2. Joining Ranni provides a direct route to his final rewards. If you want Rogier's investigation dialogue as well, finish his Black Knifeprint investigation before entering her service. Skipping that investigation does not prevent the armor or bearing pickup.
3. Reach the western Liurnia road and follow it north through Kingsrealm Ruins. Strike the illusory wall blocking the road at the northern end, then continue past Iji at Road to the Manor.
4. Ride toward the large manor while avoiding the magical strikes falling along the approach. Activate Main Caria Manor Gate grace at the entrance.
5. Inside, follow the courtyard path northwest toward the building in the far corner. Fingercreepers hide among the plants and beneath the ground; do not stop on a buried hand.
6. Enter the building with the seated spirit and climb its stairs to Manor Lower Level grace.
7. Take the elevated walkways east and continue straight along the main route at the first junction. Spectral soldiers appear along the bridges. Reach the far building and take its lift up to Manor Upper Level.
8. Leave the upper grace, pass the wolves in the garden and climb the main stone stairway toward the Troll Knight and sorcerers.
9. Continue up the stairs beyond the troll and Pages to the large circular courtyard. Defeat Royal Knight Loretta, then activate Royal Moongazing Grounds grace.
10. Leave through the rear exit into Three Sisters. Ranni's Rise is the western tower; climb to Ranni and agree to serve her.
11. If Ranni turns you away because you are following Rogier's investigation, report her refusal to Rogier at the Hold. He suggests entering her service; return to her tower and agree. Speak to the servant projections downstairs and finish Ranni's conversation before leaving.
12. Return to Rogier on the balcony and finish his dialogue. After he warns that he is falling into a deep sleep, reload the Hold and revisit his seat. Rest, pass time and reload again over the next visits until his final loot appears.
13. Collect the four regular Spellblade pieces, Rogier's Bell Bearing and his letter beside his seat. His sleep alone is not the loot interaction; return after his death. You do not have to finish Ranni's entire quest or defeat Fortissax for this pickup.
14. Give the bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks in Roundtable Hold, then open Rogier's transferred shop.
15. Open the transferred shop and buy Glintstone Pebble for 1,500 runes if you left it unbought.

Notes

• Costs 8 FP to fire the Magic pebble, then another 4 FP for the strong-attack lunge. You can stop after the projectile rather than spending the full 12 FP.
• The projectile and the thrust's added Magic damage improve with Intelligence and weapon reinforcement. The thrust also deals damage from the weapon itself, so its physical contribution still depends on that weapon and affinity.
• The lunge deals Pierce physical damage and carries the weapon's applicable status or coating. The separate pebble does not become a bleed projectile just because the weapon has innate bleed.
• The projectile is shorter-ranged than the sorcery of the same name. The follow-up moves you forward, so leave space for the lunge and avoid thrusting into a second enemy or off a ledge.
• Shard of Alexander boosts the skill's damaging parts. Godfrey Icon does not apply because it cannot be charged, and sorcery-only bonuses do not apply simply because the shot resembles a spell.
• No staff or memory slot is required. Installing the skill does not teach the sorcery, and Lazuli Glintstone Sword's fixed version is separate from this transferable Ash.
• Can use this Ash of War on compatible swords and thrusting polearms, including the supported smaller DLC classes. Colossal weapons and equipment with fixed skills are excluded.
• Its default affinity is Magic. Supports Standard, Heavy, Keen, Quality, Magic and Cold with the required whetblades. A physical affinity keeps the weapon's own attack scaling separate from the pebble's Intelligence scaling.
• Rogier sells one for 1,500 runes. His move to Roundtable Hold does not remove the shop; his bell bearing preserves the remaining stock after his death, without restocking a copy already bought.
