Farming Tips

Ash Lake: Equip the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring and gather lots of Humanity if you wish. Rest at the bonfire near the beginning of Ash Lake. Upon defeating the first two giant clams you see, use Homeward Bone or the Homeward miracle to quickly respawn them. Repeat as much as you like. If the clams are too tough for you an Ultra Greatsword or similar weapon with high damage can infinitely stun the clams when timed correctly. These clams are very susceptible to Fire damage. If you have some high powered Pyromancies, two shots should take them down. If you simply cannot afford to purchase Homeward Bone in bulk, a trip to the Crystal Cave may be a better idea.

Crystal Cave: After defeating Seath the Scaleless the bonfire in Crystal Cave will be unlocked. This allows for easy farming of the Man-Eater Shells for Twinkling Titanite. Higher level Pyromancy can take out these Shells in 2 hits. Longer range melee weapons, like Greatswords, Spears, etc imbued with Lightning can outrange enemy attacks and stun multiple enemies on hit, to facilitate safer and easier farming. You can warp to the bonfire in the Crystal Caves, making it much easier to leave and come back to this farming spot.
