Larval Tears - 15 per NG cycle

To begin with; don't give Boc the Larval Tear when he asks for one, or it's gone forever for that NG. Despite initial claims of them being farmable, these are indeed limited; and according to an Anon that got burnt, going over your amount per NG may flag EAC - so no cheating them in (the normal way).

(Immediately available) ~ Reward from an "Undead Soldier"; East of the Agheel Lake South.
~ Village of the Albinaurics graveyard.
~ Reward from a "Giant Lobster" between Rose Church and Boilprawn Shack.
~ Reward from an "Undead Soldier"; South of the Caelid Highway South / East of Cathedral of Dragon Communion
~ Siofra River Nomadic Merchant (take the wood scaffolding in the middle of the River up, head into the aqueduct itself)

(Obtainable post-Spectral Loretta / Carian Manor) ~ Artist's Shack Painting Puzzle Reward.
~ Sold by Pidia, Carian Servant Merchant.

(Obtainable post-Lift of Dectus / at Altus) ~ Reward from an "Undead Soldier" at the ruins in the middle of Windmill Village and Rampartside Path.
~ Reward from a "Charred Corpse" in a ruined camp near to Road of Inequities Grace (Gelmir, the one in front of Volcano Manor)

(Obtainable post-Radahn) ~ Nokron, Eternal City; building on the right-hand side of the circular clearing.
~ Nokron, Eternal City; small building before the boss room.
~ Nokron, Eternal City Boss Reward.
~ Night's Sacred Ground; reward from killing the Silver Ball in the building to the right.

(Obtainable post-2 Lords OR by progressing Ranni's questline) ~ Nokstella, Eternal City; reward from killing the Silver Ball on the second bridge up Untested, may be possible to get 2 by clipping yourself inside the Silver Ball by standing in a corner on the bridge, getting knocked down then automatically getting back up - pick up the Tear, kill the Ball, pick up the reward. This would bring the total per-NG to 16.

(Obtainable after reaching the Consecrated Snowfield / post-O'Niall) ~ Reward from an "Undead Pilgrim" due immediately South East of Inner Consecrated Snowfield.

If you're absolutely desparate for one, the one found in Limgrave (false man-bear) is apparently obtainable if summoned. Try that with a co-operator's new character, or do summoning in the area. Push comes to shove, grab all of the above, make a spare save (doable on all platforms), have the save in the backlog for if you run out. PCheats, always remember you also have your namesake to use, if you're REALLY ultra-desparate for a respec.
