There's one in a chest in the new area Sanctuary Wood.
Those are the only ways I know of to get Blue Slabs. But on a off note be sure to save a Slab to fully upgrade a Magic Warrior's Round Shield, one of the best anti-magic shields at very low weight.
Turned on the backup save feature in Durante's and started a new character. After a while I got curious and checked where the save files were located. Then I found out that there was actually two folders with save files in them - one of which was named with my current username and one with an old username I switched yesterday. And there it was, my lost save file.
So, if you change your Windows Live username there is a possibility the save file won't transfer to the new username, but it is not lost forever. Praise the sun!Thanks for the protip. I was attempting to farm in undead burg last night but got nothing.
snip. Question was already answered.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I had to kill around 50-100 channelers to get this damn thing with max item find.

lol but I bet you're talking about the console version, pc version has a better drop rate. (dunno how much but the % has been probably increased a lot)
I am talking PC, the drop rate has increased on tons of items but I don't think the trident was one of them.

Had all 3 of those items although I couldn't use the ring as I was wearing Balder armor/gauntlets/leggings and needed Havel's ring. Weapon was fire uchi +5 but I wasn't dealing damage quick enough before the 2nd King would come in and ruin my shit. Next time around I'll try some heavier armour and the same 2 stamina regen items + some green blossoms and summoning the NPC to do a little damage and maybe take a few hits for me.

Has this been confirmed anywhere?

Heh, had no idea that trident was so rare. I found one too while trying to get the avelyn and just threw it in my bottomless box.
As much as I dislike PvP I would agree with this sentiment. I always just suck it up when I get invaded and I have managed to kill a decent amount of invaders. Getting killed by an invader isn't really a huge deal penalty-wise either.
So far the twinkling titanite and covenant specific drops has been confirmed for patch 1.05. I dunno how far this extends to everything else.
Yeah, those clams drop Twinkling Titanite like it's candy. I figured that was supposed to be a lot more rare in previous versions.

bitch I'm taking calls.
You can also just purchase them from the Giant blacksmith.

Oh, you're saying that the drop rates were increased in previous patches.
Yes, but they're expensive as hell, and you won't get the satisfaction of setting clams on fire.

Ha, no way is the drop rate on Channelers Trident as low as 0.1%. In the past fortnight I've gone from NG+1 to NG+4 with the same character - and this is without farming, but still taking all the Channelers out every time I pass through/rest a bonfire, I've got 3 of the things (seriously, three of them), and I already had one from farming the first time.
I agree they're rare, but isn't it always the way you get drops when you're NOT farming?!

Want to drop one for me?

I'm SL125 so if you're around that - no problem, tell me where to drop the sign, I'm online right now. PS3.

Damn. Sorry, I know I'm in the PC thread - it's just the most active atm and lots of questions that us old timers can answer.
Edit - if anyone else on PS3 wants one, I'm happy to drop it for you, I can easily make a new character and BB glitch if you aren't that high a SL.

0.1% was the original drop rate I believe. They buffed drop rates pretty hard in a patch. It's still not an incredibly common drop, though. At least it never has been for me. I've always had to spend a half hour farming it.
Just got this baby!

Woo woo!
What level are you? You should join my game and drop all the special weapons so i can get the achievements.
So I'm confused about weapons. How am I supposed to know which ones are good? For example, I was going through Sen's Fortress and got a Balder Side Sword from some knight, and apparently it's one of the best weapons in the game. But to me it looks like any normal sword, except I guess the Dex scaling. Also with other weapons it's really hard to know how good they really are... I'm ~SL37 and still rocking a Broad Sword +9 because I have no idea what I would replace it with and I don't have the money or shards to upgrade other weapons to see if they get better. Is it all just trial and error?
Weapons aren't only about their scaling and general stats, but also their move sets and other properties.
The reason the Balder Side Sword is viewed as such a good weapon isn't just because it does good damage and scales well with DEX (which it does), but also because of its relative low stamina drain on swings, its low weight, its solid range, its excellent and immensely useful R2 thrust attack, and its general ability to be very effective both 1H and 2H.

Yeah. One of the most important thing with weapons is if you like the moveset.

Pretty much yeah.
If you want to get more shards, they are 800 souls a pop at the first blacksmith.
The move set is the most important thing, outside of making sure you aren't using some weapon in a situation where a boss has immunity to it (i.e. some fire-based sword vs Quelaag).
Certain bosses and enemies will be stronger/weaker to some weapon types than others - not just elementals but stuff like bleed effects - but generally just look for a weapon that has a move set that appeals to you.

I started a new run and got two tridents from the two channelers in the

Dukes Archives is warpable. Best port ever made.
Yeah, pretty much every place you could want to warp to is now warpable.
I have mixed feelings on Ash Lake.
The atmosphere is amazing (partially because it's one of the few areas where the sound isn't missing for me), but there almost nothing to do down there. But how barren it looks and feels ties back into the atmosphere of the place. One of the last remaining dragon (if that merchant is to be trusted at least), all alone in the middle of a lake, miles underground.
Though I'm glad I went down there after I got the ability to warp. Going down the Great Hallow was a pain, I can't imagine going up.

It's not as bad as you might think.
I got one from the first Channeler for my first character as well. I've never gotten one since. Granted, I already got the weapon trophy for the first character so it's all good.

I have a little question about an unusual enemy encounter. On top of the tower next to the Taurus Demon with the two snipers there was a little reddish-white blob that fired spikes, what was it? The first time I saw it I got one-shotted by its spikes then upon returning to retrieve my souls I managed to lay a few attacks into it. I didn't do much damage, then I died. Every time I've been to that location since it's never shown up and I never saw it anywhere else.
That unusual little creature was a Vagrant. When you die in a certain area, there's a chance it'll spawn one of them in someone else's game, and they supposedly drop pretty good stuff depending on how strong the dying player is.

Ahh I see, thanks guys. These little touches are what make Dark Souls so awesome! I wish I'd managed to kill it.
I always drop all my unnecessary items on the ground, just to spawn these vagrants in other people's worlds, you should all do that, we'd see more of them around. In more than 200 hours of gameplay I only saw one (in the Chasm Of The Abyss)... They're very rare.
