A reward for the retainers of the princesses, the Carian Filigreed Crest in Elden Ring is a talisman that reduces the cost of skills. A symbol of pride, this is now the only talisman left for the follower of the Lunar princess, Ranni.
In this guide, we will tell you how to obtain the Carian Filigreed Crest and how you can use it to enhance your weapons skills in the Elden Ring.
Carian Filigreed Crest Location
Carian Filigreed Crest in Elden Ring can be purchased for 5000 Runes from the War Counselor Iji after meeting some special requirements.
Once you talk to Ranni at her rise in the Three Sisters area and decide to serve her as a part of her questline, three apparitions will appear inside Ranni’s Rise. Talk to all three, including Iji. Go to the northwestern area of Liurnia of the Lakes and you can find Iji before entering Caria Manor. At this point, he will offer you the talisman for 5000 Runes.
If you progress through Ranni’s quest and Iji dies, return to his location to find his Bell Bearing. Hand over Iji’s Bell Bearing to the Twin Maiden Husk at the Roundtable Hold. This will allow you to purchase the Carian Filigreed Crest for 5000 Runes.
Kill the Bloodhound Knight Darriwil inside the Forlon Knight Evergaol as a part of Blaidd’s questline. Talk to Iji and tell him that Baidd has sent you. He will stock the talisman that you can now purchase for 5000 Runes.
Carian Filigreed Crest Stats and Uses
Carian Filigreed Crest reduces the FP cost of all weapons and shield skills by 25%. This is a massive savings if you don’t want to invest in the Mind stat.
It also stacks with Ash of War Scarab and reduces the FP cost of any skill by another 15%. However, stacking these items will make you more susceptible to physical damage.
This talisman weighs only 0.8 and can be sold for 1000 Runes to any merchant in the game. As this is a once-per-playthrough item, we strongly recommend against selling it.
Carian Filigreed Crest is best used with builds where your main focus is on using the weapon skill to inflict damage to the enemies and bosses. One such weapon is the Bloodhound Fang.
