This page contains information on where to get all upgrade materials, as well as the types of upgrade paths, stat bonuses and special properties from them.
As with farming for weapons and armor, farming for upgrade materials relies on your Item Discovery. The maximum Item Discovery you can have is 410. Have 10 "loose" Humanity and equip either the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring or Symbol of Avarice.
