All basic Smithing Stones

Smithing Stone 1 - 2: Complete the Crystal Gallery of Raya Lucaria, a mine located northeast of Liurnia Lacustre. Defeat the final boss to receive the Orb. Smithing Stone 3 - 4: Look into the Sealed Tunnel on the Altus Plateau. You will find it near the west gate of the capital Leyndell. This time the Orb can be obtained from a chest behind an illusory wall that can be destroyed with the sword. Smithing Stone 5 - 6: Complete the Ruins of Zamor in the Lands of the Giants, an area quite late in the main story. Just go down the stairs of the ruins and collect the Orb from a chest. Smithing Stone 7 - 8: The most complex orb to unlock because you have to eliminate the Duo Sacrum, the boss of the Dragon Cathedral of Farum Azula. This is also quite far in the main storyline. Remember that you can also find stones in different places in the Interregnum without having to buy them. Forging Stones upgrade classic weaponry by following this pattern:

Smithing Stone (1): Strengthening Weapons Up to +3 Smithing Stone (2): Strengthening Weapons Up to +6 Smithing Stone ( 3): Strengthen armaments up to +9 Smithstone (4): Strengthen armaments up to +12 Smithstone (5): Strengthen armaments up to +15 Smithstone (6): Strengthen armaments up to +18 Smithstone (7): strengthens armaments up to +21 Smithstone (8): strengthens armaments up to +24 Smithstone (9): strengthens armaments up to +25
