Discover the Enchantment: Mastering the Chords of the Magic Dragon

Chords to invigorate the magic dragon The magic dragon is a symbol of power, fantasy, and creativity. It represents the ability to envision and create worlds beyond our own. As musicians, we have the incredible privilege of using chords to bring the magic dragon to life through music. **Chords** are the building blocks of music. They are made up of three or more notes played together, creating a harmonious sound. Each chord has its own unique quality and emotion that it brings to a piece of music.

How are y'all running out of flower power so often? Just allocate some extra razzberry flasks and level up mind some more.

Elden Ring Starlight Shards Notes & Tips

• You can hold up to 10 Starlight Shards.
• You can store up to 999 Starlight Shards.
• Sell Value: 50 Runes
• This item is allowed in Player Trade online.

I don’t understand how the community accept the abuse of this thing during invasions. Duping shards to have free FP is cheating. Most pvp players avoid any investment in mind and do not bring blue flasks; if you want to stay at 125 with mind at 10, you should accept your FP bar is limited. Starlight shards should be DISABLED in any pvp session.

You should be able to craft/buy these.

HP has several healing incantations, blessed dew talisman, icon shield, crimson dagger, craftable, yellow stones, prayerful strike, blood tax, great stars.

Meanwhile for FP the cerulean dagger is ok but not reliable for mages, the axe and the ancestral horn talisman give pitiful amounts of FP back, and the starlight shards are not craftsble and non respawnable. Just limit the amount in PvP for balance porpuses and that's it.

if i get invaded and its a drawn out fight where the invader ends up using 10 of those (maximum he can hold), i wont bat an eye because theres the possibility he got them legit and it would be unfair to freak out on the assumption they mighthave cheated. meaning that regardless of the invasion outcome it would be irrelevant if they cheated or not.
but lets be honest thats not what the underlying issue is being debated in the comments. the issue is that invaded players with multiple advantages and equally as many skill issues lost at some point to an invader miserably because they have been forced in a involuntary pvp session simply for wanting to share the game experience with friends or in co-op
theres no fix for starlight shards because theyre not broken. "fixing" them would just direct people to complain about something else caused by the forced pvp

I hope the dlc adds a rune arc shop with these and other rare materials. It would be nice to spend rune arcs for things that would actually matter

"x10 Starlight Shards can be found all around the Site of Grace at the center of the Cathedral of Manus Celes and x1 more at the cliff nearby"
There are only 9 around the Site of Grace, and then 1 more at the cliff.

It´s soo funny to see all of these people complain about gankers with this consumable

-You ALWAYS have numbers advantage or even
-Great runes
-More flasks
-No friendly damage
-You can resumon blues and phantoms infinitely

Also, you can have a max level phantom just because

Two unlisted shards are near the deathbirdnear castle sol and at the village near Azur along the cliffs.

Typically used for invaders who dupe or use cheat engine to have about 1200 fp or more with the use of flask, that's one of the reasons why those games will never have a competitive scene, too much cheat engine and dupe stuff

Should just make them buyable and reduce the amount which you can carry at once. 10 is an absolutely crazy amount to have at once.

great choice not making these respawn/buyable at any point and forcing players to dupe them for pvp since their flasks are halved, definitely goty game design if you ask me or the competence police

I currently have 19 shards in my inventory and purchased both the cheapest puppets, making the total 24 possible shards. I have no idea where I got the additional shards from, I obviously didn't dupe or anything.

This and the other exceedingly rare/limited items that motivate people to dupe them have cultivated some of the most unpleasant invaders and to a lesser degree hosts/phantoms possibly ever in Fromsoft history.
You know exactly the kind of invader, the one that immediately runs to the other side of the continent if he's in danger, pops a starlight shard, waits behind an enemy, tries to cheese you with arrow rain and duped golem arrows, exclusively running pokes with thrust weapons or halberds the microsecond you engage an enemy or try to stormhawk axe you after you've gotten impatient.
Better off just letting them kill you or jumping off a cliff at that point because they'll waste like 30 minutes of your time with the ultra passivity if you refuse to take the bait.

While I think infinite buying would have to be rather expensive given how incredibly good these are, I would like if after killing Radahn these would rarely drop from the sky as a falling star. Just a little more world flavor that would be actually useful and encourage chasing down wherever it landed.

I use these constantly as a ganker in limgrave, I downloaded a cheat save that has like 600 and I just refresh the save file every time I run out.

hope limited items like this and string are eventually put on a vendor for sale or able to be crafted. When dupping is so easy you might as well make it not necessary and give every player the chance to buy/craft as many as they want

Maybe if these weren't being duped by everyone the game would be less full of WA spam and be better for it.

So if there’s only like 10 in game, how do some people I invade just keep using these like they’re as common as mushrooms? They have unlimited healing with these and warming stones…

arena made wannabe duelists wake up in 2023 & realize those are incredibly broken. This + Invasion = truecombo

doesn't matter if they were acquired ""honestly"" or not, the fact you can hold 10 is baffling game design

All those people complaining about dupers don’t realize that console players can back up their save files and reload it when they run out. No duping needed. Anyone can do it.

This item is making investing into mind obsolete, heavily reducing the meta level. Without this, we can see people arguing to reach a minimum mind for an effective melee build invasions. Purchasable or not, this thing should not be allowed in colosseum and invasions.

Either remove their ability to restore fp or make them buyable in lets say hallig tree for 3.000 elden shekels a piece. I dont wanna resort to duping, but this makes me want to because i feel left out

Gotta love the amount of salt in the comments.
They're perfectly fine as they currently are. But they should not be limited.
We should be able to craft them with rare materials or buy them for a ton of runes.

I get that having lots of mana on tap can be unbalancing. but From added a variety of non-flask items to boost HP like Warming Stones and Raw Meat Dumplings. Making Starlight Shards a farmable currency would reduce the incentive for duping.

As a primary caster, I still invested heavily in Mind, and as another character type, the mana cost of most non-spell abilities didn't matter much.

Not only do these invalidate mind, but they also obviate the need to invest in blue flasks. A stack of shards restores more FP than 5 blue flasks (1200 vs 1100), and since shards regen over time, a low-mind build can easily use every point restored. By contrast, below 38 mind, a blue flask is guaranteed to waste a portion of its FP. Unless you're a heavy caster, the instant FP restore is almost never worth it.

The most expensive thing you can buy with these is only 5 starlight shards, so why on earth can you hold 10.

Nothing to see here folks, just another poorly-conceived feature that lets people snowball a victory in pvp

The whole duping debacle just makes me wonder why simple/crescent infusions never came back, make it restore % of total fp instead of a flat rate to complement mind instead of invalidate it.

Duping these should = instant 180 day ban. Same with any item requiring ropes to craft. F*cking stupid watching some "PrO pvP iNvAdeR" harrass level 20 players having +12 flasks and endless supply of craftable items. Why isn't there a Seed of the Giants in this game?

Oh well. Anyone who wants to coop, get yourself the Seamless Coop Mod :) Let's kill the invader scene, together!

These are really useful for builds that don't have a lot of Mind. I've got a build focused around using Scholar's Armament with Lusat's which I unequip after casting the buff due to not having any Mind for Sorceries, so instead I utilize Consumables like Crystal Darts, Magic Pots, Glintstone Scraps, Gravity Stones, the Wraith Calling Bell, the Omen Bairn, etc. There's no shortage of Consumables that require FP to use, which makes the Starlight Shard theoretically extremely useful even for builds that don't use magic, like with Frenzyflame Stones, Albinauric Pots, or Aromatics. If only it wasn't finite. I hope they eventually add a way to farm these legitimately, even if it was extremely difficult to farm. Add something like a respawning Malformed Star in Ainsel River that can drop one of these with low odds, even if it was super difficult, I'd be happy because these things would be worth the grind.

Guy says people complaining about duping is ridiculous when it's a limited item, and the game is more than just invasions. Bad game design is still bad game design.

Getting mad at people for duping these is ridiculous. You’re going to encounter someone using them regardless of whether anyone is actually duping them or not. Also the use time of these are incredibly slow and can easily be punished

There is another Starlight Shard at Hermit Village on Mt. Gelmir. East side of village in front of Astrolobe/ Moondial.

enables really wonky invasion builds where they dont have to bring any blue flasks or level mind at all and they can just bloodhound step forever.

Why can you hold so many of these? mind was already an undervalued stat, but this just makes it damn near useless when duping exists

the one in weeping peninsula is just southeast of oridys's rise, up on a higher shelf of rock overlooking the sea, for those who can't/don't want to open the map. you should be able to see the astrolabe (the stone bowl looking thing) as you approach

i promise i don't mean this in a *****y way, i'm sure the guide was just written when the game first game out and if it bothered me i could just make an account and fix it myself, but the description "near a cliff in the weeping peninsula" really tickled me. near *a* cliff. just, you know, the cliff they've got over in the weeping peninsula, there.
the weeping peninsula is *all* cliffs. the entire peninsula is made of cliffs. there is not a speck of peninsula you can traverse that isn't somewhere near a cliff

Should be able to buy as many as you want so normal players have a chance against cheaters after you've completed Seluvis Quest.

I'm pretty sure I sold one of these early on because I just needed a tiny bit more souls to buy a new level or something. Really wish they wouldn't have let me do that.

How are y'all running out of flower power so often? Just allocate some extra razzberry flasks and level up mind some more.

There are exactly 23 Starlight Shards in the world, and 1 is exclusive to Sellen's quest about Azur and Lusat (gained after finding the second one), making a total of 24.

Others mentioned it already, but these two are the same one:

"x1 Found in front of a stone astrolabe located in northeast Caelid. Close to Bestial Sanctum."

"x1 Found at a stone astrolabe northeast of the Farum Greatbridge Site of Grace."

I clicked the map link to make sure as well, the spot marked is the same place

"x1 Found at a stone astrolabe on one the cliffs in the east side of the Liurnia of the Lakes region, south of the Artist's Shack overlooking the fog-covered Academy Gate Town and Gate Town Bridge." It's way further from the Arists Shack than the Bridge site. Fast travel to the Gate Town Bridge site of grace. When you load in, look due east. The astrolabe this refers to is visible at the top of the cliff. There's a path nearby that can take you up there but be wary of the numerous white wolves all over.

I'm one of the suckers that used these to refill my FP when I was out of cerulean flasks but didn't want to reset at a grace checkpoint and do everything over. I just got lucky in that I happened to read the wiki for seluvis and his secret sex puppets before I used them all. I at least had enough left to buy the dung puppet ashes. I got the weird Y-Front wearing Jarwight for free and I can get Delores the sleeping arrow from Pidia's dead body after his puppets kill him so not a big deal.

Just because I got lucky though doesn't mean everyone will have learned there is a better use for the starlight shards than emergency FP refills before finding they don't have enough left to buy puppets from seluvis. There are ten listed as available a good way into Ranni's quest but I haven't gotten very far into that yet, and if access to that area is after giving her the fingerslaying blade it will be too late anyway, seluvis will be dead at that point. I can't see any good reason or excuse for not including any information about how rare these things are in their item description, or any hint about being currency for sorcerers. The description of "use to gradually recover FP" gives the impression that's all they are good for.

Just for some perspective, I have seven golden seeds that are worthless because I can't upgrade my flasks any further. Fair enough not being able to upgrade your flasks is a bigger deal than not being able to buy puppet spirit ashes, but how hard would it have been to leave a secret stash of these starlight shards somewhere for this eventuality, or just have a few more around to find before completing Ranni's quest line ?

"special items", "non-farmable", "scarce currency", well, best I can do is 50 runes a piece lmao. Can they at least let us sell these once-per-run type of items at a reasonable price? There's so many items that can only be obtained in a limited number per run, but they're all worthless, price-wise. I wouldn't care about nascent butterflies, arteria leaves, starlight shards, etc. being obtainable in limited quantities per run if they would at least let us sell them at a decent price. I wager most players won't use the majority of these items anyways, why not let us turn them into a good chunk of cash? 10k per Starlight shard sound reasonable? Even that feels low, considering the supposed incredible scarcity of these items. It's kind of weird to see such a unique and rare item be on par with 2 1/2 regular arrows.

". these special items are also actually a non-farmable and extremely scarce currency for the special shop run by Preceptor Selvius."

So, if you are using them to restore FP, you are basically making a whiskey and coke with single barrel rye whiskey.

All those people complaining about dupers don’t realize that console players can back up their save files and reload it when they run out. No duping needed. Anyone can do it.

They can evoke feelings of awe, joy, and a childlike sense of wonder. To invigorate the magic dragon through chords, we can use techniques such as **open chords**. Open chords have a beautiful, resonant sound that is reminiscent of the dragon's roar. They can be combined with **suspended chords** to create a sense of suspension and anticipation, as if the magic dragon is about to take flight. Another way to enhance the magic dragon's power is through the use of **extended chords**. These chords add extra notes to the traditional triads, giving them a more complex and rich sound. They can add depth and intensity to a musical piece, creating a sense of mystery and magic. In addition to the specific chords we choose, the **progressions** we use can also invigorate the magic dragon. Progressions are the sequence of chords that make up a song. By selecting progressions that have a sense of movement and flow, we can create a musical journey that mirrors the magic dragon's flight. Ultimately, the chords we choose to invigorate the magic dragon are a reflection of our own creativity and imagination. They allow us to channel the whimsy and power of this mythical creature and bring it to life through music. So, let your fingers dance across the keys or strings, and let the chords breathe life into the magic dragon..
