Noble’s Slender Sword is the longest straight sword in Elden Ring which automatically gives it a far better reach than the other swords.
This aspect makes Noble’s Slender Sword perfect for any dexterity build in Elden Ring. You can further improve its damage output by pairing it with a good Ashes of War.
That, however, will only come to pass once you have the straight sword in your hands. This is one weapon that you have to farm in the open world of the game.
Noble’s Slender Sword location in Elden Ring
There are several locations where you can go to farm the Slender Sword in Elden Ring.
The only way to get the Slender Sword is by killing and looting a Wandering Noble. The only problem is that the sword is not a guaranteed drop.
Every Wandering Noble has a small chance of dropping the Slender Sword upon death. Since the drop rate of the Slender Sword is pretty low, you want to go to a location where there are a lot of Wandering Nobles to farm.
The Slender Sword can firstly be farmed in Limgrave. You need to look for a Troll-pulled Carriage caravan riding along the path west of Waypoint Ruins.
Once you are at the location, you can locate and kill Wandering Nobles to get Noble’s Slender Sword. However, with a drop rate of around 0.5 percent, you will have to kill a lot of Wandering Nobles.
Your best bet is to take out the large group of nobles in front of the Debate Parlor Site of Grace in Raya Lucaria. This is an excellent farming spot for Noble’s Slender Sword.
From the boss’ room, head out and use the stairs to go to the first floor. Turn left to find two nobles with more nobles upstairs. When you have farmed all of the Wandering Nobles here without success, reset the area by coming back later to farm them all over again.
You can also find Wandering Nobles in the Caelid region that can drop Noble’s Slender Sword. To get there, you need to travel south from the Caelid Highway South Site of Grace. Once there, Wandering Nobles can be found roaming around the graveyard.
Lastly, you can also find Noble’s Slender Sword from the noble located in the Church of Pilgrimage area. Once there, travel south on the road that leads to the church and you will come across the noble with the sword.
With the low drop rate, you can expect to spend a lot of time farming nobles. You can increase the odds of finding Noble’s Slender Sword by using items like Silver Scarab Talisman or Silver-Pickled Fowl.
Some players have been lucky to find Noble’s Slender Sword within an hour. Others have spent three or four hours to find the weapon.
How to use Noble’s Slender Sword in Elden Ring
Noble’s Slender Sword is one of the longest Straight Swords in Elden Ring, as already stated above. That gives the weapon an excellent reach. You also only require a few points to be able to use it: 8 points in Strength and 11 points in Dexterity.
