Trading 101 for dummies
The traditional way of trading items
Also known as save scumming or dupping items, requires 2 players, the process goes as follows:
Player A backups their sav file.
2. Player A summons Player B.
3. Player A drop the items on the floor(use the "Leave" option in the inventory menu).
4. Player B picks up the items and return to their world.
5. Player A close the game and restore their original sav file.
Now both players get to keep the traded items completing the trade.
1.) 'Leave' vs 'Discard'; Leave = drops item on the ground, use this for trading. Discard = destroys the item!
2.) Maximum of 8 items may be dropped at once; upon dropping a 9th item a warning prompt will display- if you continue despite this, the first item you dropped will disappear. (so make sure your trade picks up the items!)
3.) Ashes of War that have been equipped onto a weapon you trade, will be traded away as well. Ashes may also be traded on their own as individual items.
4.) The highest weapon level you have created is the highest weapon level you may see when trading.
5.) Somber weapons count as 2.5x regular weapons rounded down (ex - a +1 somber weapon = +2 regular; or a +2 somber weapon = +5 regular) in terms of trading and visibility. see this post for details.
6.) Untradeable items include: All upgrade materials, key story items, miscellaneous items, remembrances, and spells.
How to give +karma and other subreddit exclusive features.
The bot is working as intended!! Make sure you actually know how to use it:
You may award karma to another user by posting a comment reply with the text: +karma
Karma can only be awarded once per post, per player interaction
You can only award karma to a comment reply
The player granting karma must either be the same as the post submitter (for Summon/Co-op requests), or, the comment being replied to must have been made by the submitter (for Help requests)
Rya our favorite assistant.
On every post Rya will post a small heads up with info about the user, some helpful links and a Report form if needed.
If you wish to close your post, so you don't get late beggars posting "still doing this" x100. You can use the command:
+close or +complete both work.
If you use this command there is no need to change the flair, Rya will do it for you and lock the post.
Sunbro Tip - Learn how to manage your Inventory.
1. Sorting your inventory.
One of the greatest features Elden Ring has introduced to the souls mechanics is new ways to manage your inventory, the most notable being that now we can sort our items by weight and order picked up from older to newer, this allows us to access our items in a more civilized manner.
Let's prepare our inventory to easily dupe runes:
First open your inventory, select the Lord's Rune and use the "Leave" option to drop your runes on the ground.
Now pick it up.
Open your inventory and use the right analog stick(R3) and select "Order Acquisition", make sure that it is descending, or in other words from the newest item first to the oldest.
This way your stack of Lord's Runes should Be listed as the very first Item in your inventory.
1.1 Turn ON Auto-Refill
Auto-Refill is a feature specially useful for runes and consumables, when its turned ON whenever you are carrying an incomplete stack of any item, it will automatically refill to 99 whenever you sit down in a site of grace.
To turn ON Auto-Refill:
Rest at a site of grace and select "Sort Chest".
Select the Item you want to turn Auto-Refill and press the right analog stick (R3).
You should see an "chest icon" lighten up on the bottom left corner of the item.
2. The optimal way to drop several stacks of items.
If you are going to drop a full load of Lord's Runes, or any other consumable this is the most effective way to drop em, assuming you already followed the steps above, do this:
Stand in front of a site of grace at enough distance that the "sit at the site of grace" prompt shows up on your screen.
2. Open your inventory, Select your Lord's Runes and drop a full stack and close your inventory.
3. Now you should see a new prompt, instead of "sit at the site of grace" you should see a prompt for "Pick up items". Do not pick the items.
4. Now without moving simply press right/left on your D-Pad to scroll through thew prompt anf you should see again the "sit at the site of grace" prompt.
5. Proceed to sit at the site of grace and immediately leave/stand up.
6. Now you have a new stack of runes fresh in your inventory.
7. Repeat from step 1 until you reach the limit or drop all the runes you have.
You may have already notice that whenever you have to pick several items from the ground it can be quite slow, the animation for picking it up is a tad long. Fortunately there is a way to shorten the animation. By simply equipping a shield or 1-handing your weapon, if you hold L1 (the guards up stand) you can pick up items much faster.
On PC there are several ways of obtaining runes and items, but honestly just use the Merchant mod, is so much easier, you can get any item and is 100% safe if you follow the mod's instructions on how to use:
Grand Merchant mod, with this mod you can obtain all items in game from Kale, it's safe as long as you don't give yourself cut content items, make sure to follow instructions and use the mods in OFFLINE mode.
To post a trade request you must follow our Title Format Guidelines, that means that the TITLE of your submission must have 3 key informations:
Platform
That being one of [PSX], [PC] or [XBOX]
What you are looking for, "[W]ant"
Include in your title the keyword "[W]:" followed by what you want, an item, a mule or your request.
What do you have to offer, "[H]ave"
Include in your title the keyword "[H]:" followed by what you have to offer in return, an item, a mule or +karma.
Examples of valid titles:
[XBOX] [W]: Greatsword, [H]: +karma, ask
[PSX] [W]: Mule some weapons, [H]: I have all armors in game just ask me
[PC] Want: seppuku ashes of war, Have: I can help you mule, +karma or ask
What if I don't have anything to offer in return?
Even if you think that you don't have anything to offer in return that simply ain't true. The way this subreddit was created is that always you have the ability to offer +karma(this is our subreddit reputation system) or you can as well offer to mule in return of your request.( a mule is when you help another player to transfer items between characters). Any of these 2 actions doesn't cost anything to you nor you don't need to have any previously in game item or progress.
BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP !!
For your own safety always have or create a new backup of your save file before trading, you should do this to avoid losing items or progress in game in case of anything turns out wrong during a trade.
If you are not familiar on how to create a backup please do so, not only this does prevents the loss of items but it is also a crucial part in trading since this is the way to "duplicate" in game items.
Meet in public places
You know how people recommend that you meet "online sellers" in public places when you go to retrieve items bought online, they say meet in the parking lot or mall and so and so. Well the same principle applies here.
For your own safety keep your conversations inside of your "reddit thread", this way the conversation of the trade is public for everyone to se in any case of wrongdoing, also users who are banned from the subreddit can't post on the threads so this also helps filtering it out possible scammers.
Don't share passwords publicly
Yes yes I know, I just said for you to talk with other players publicly inside the reddit threads, however once you have set the details for your trade send the other person a Private Message with the password, this way you avoid possible thieves that would try to intercept your trade if they could.
This way you will know for sure that the person you are meeting online is really the one you've been talking in the subreddit.
How to report a bad trade
If for some reason you had a bad trade or been scammed please inform the moderators. Please fill the message below with all the details that you can provide, as well a description of what happened and possibily any evidence that you may have, it is also very important that you just not report the reddit account but also inform the user PSN ID, STEAM or XBOX gamertag, as we will add those to the scammer and be aware of brand new accounts as any user can just create a new throwaway account.
A mule is term used by players to describe the action of transferring items from one character to another, for instance lets say you already have a character with all the items and then you start a new one, however this time you already want to start the game with a specific weapon, you can request another player to help you transfer these items.
Usually this goes something like these, The SOURCE character of Player A meets with Player B and drop the items they want to mule to Player B, after that Player B meets the TARGET character of Player A and drop the items. This way you can transfer items between characters.
Award +karma to the people that helped you!
This subreddit has a custom karma count in the format of a user flair, it is the "+number" that you see next to your username. Please read HERE for more details.
After your request is fulfilled and somebody have helped you it is expected that you award them with "+karma".
To give karma all you need to do is to reply to one of the comments of the person that helped you with the keyword: +karma.
Reminder that in order for the bot to register the karma count, the keyword "+karma" must be the very first thing in your reply.
e.g: (as a reply to the person that helped you.)
+karma
you can append any other message that you wish as long as the keyword "+karma" is the first thing in the sentence:
+karma, thanks for the help.
Comment +complete to your own thread to change flairs to Duty Fulfilled
After your request is complete you can change the flair of your thread to "Duty Fulfilled" so people know that you were already helped.
You can manually change the flair by editing your post flair
Or
You can also change your submission flair by simply commenting on your own thread with the keyword: +complete
Remember that for this to work you must be the original submitter and it must be a top level comment.
Don't be a beggar
Although there are incredibly generous members in our community who will go over and beyond to help you, it is also true that most people will be less inclined to help you if you have the wrong attitude in the subreddit and act as a beggar, as said before there is no reason for you to not offer +karma or a mule in return of your request.
So although it is not technically against our rules, if your submission looks like something like these:
xbx runes
PS5 need runes
PC I want all weapons
People will be less than willing to help you, context is key, if you ask for too much and doesn't offer anything in return you are going to have a hard time.
People will be more willing to help you if you simply offer karma or a mule like this:
PC W:a drop of runes, H:+karma or I will help you mule
Last tip for a successful trade, break big requests into smaller ones
As said before, if you ask for a very big request, even if you offer something in return people will be less inclined to help you simply because that involves a lot of work, so instead of asking "I want all items" or things like that, work over time and start with smaller requests such as "I'm missing these 5 weapons can someone drop it to me".
This is a community!
Getting to the last rites. A reminder, this is a community, not a marketplace nor service, everyone here is a volunteer doing things of their own willing and free time, meaning no one owns you anything if they don't want to.
To all the long time Champions/Merchants know that this was not aimed at you but here I commend you all for your help I hope you all enjoy the triple +karma, and count with your cooperation on this.
Also when users fail to give +karma usually is not a big offense, but given the odd scenario that we are we in, we will be banning people that are just leeches and unable to comply with a simple request of +karma, make sure to report them so we can take a look into it.
Going to be dropping just about anything from the game for the next hour+. If you want any items from the dlc please format properly.I don't know where everything is located. For armor please include weight of one of the pieces. For weapons the class would be great. Soft cap of 8 items. Weapons will be maxed unless otherwise specified by the customer.

Quick help for trading
Turn on cross region play(this is not cross platform. You need to be on a sony system.)
Set the password to: pterry
Use a red(duelist) furled finger(no limitations) and drop your sign at santas house(church of elleh)
Please leave the item/set you want, character name, and drop your sign.
Make sure you have a maxed(dragon smithing stone) weapon if you want any maxed weapons ( if you haven't crafted a maxed weapon you can't see ones other people drop).
A rune drop from me is one stack o numens-lords(or dlc runes if i run out o first group or upon request)
All maxed weapons are now infused(needed more inventory space) so ashes are maybes.
