any way to get items fast?

i'm looking to make some new builds but i am not about to play the game 3 more playthroughs to get the required slabs and etc needed to make it.... is there anyway other than the Botomless box glitch to use since it has been patched? honestly i don't even mind leveling manually it's just the items i need

go to the trade/help section maybe, other than that i dont know.

While I understand it can be a pain to gather items for builds, FROM has given you the tools to make an effective build with 1 playthrough or even less. I only see the need for more playthroughs for players needing more copies of spells.

Ideally, most builds are based around a weapon. You'll have at least 1 of each slab per play, so you have options. Also, if you need two weapons to +15, then follow Siegmyer's quest.

Other than that, twinkling is easy to farm, and you have a lot of options in regards to both weapons and armour that upgrade on twinkling titanite. You should be able to make a half decent build in one play, and by the time you've done some PvP with it you might get the motivation to go get a few more slabs in a few more playthroughs.

Good luck!

Also there are a lot of weapons that you can upgrade through crystal path, so you can save the slabs for armor upgrade. Currently I have the hands and legs at +9 in one of my builds, and he uses crystal Large Clubs which are easy to farm and you can get around 5 chunks from the Darkwraiths with every run.

so there's no other way.......?
