According to Reddit, NG+ is not separated from NG for multiplayer. It's just SL and weapon upgrade matching. This is just a random Reddit post but people there were testing all kinds of poo poo in the JP version so I'm inclined to believe it until proven otherwise.

The NPCs in this game are seriously lacking. Most of them don't have nearly enough dialogue, and the questlines make little sense after you've checked a guide to see what to do and no sense at all before that. Who knew that being stuck in a prison cell won't stop you from saving someones life, but not meeting someone in a kitchen earlier on certainly will.

Sword and board people, what are your ring setups? I have chloranthy and then just a bunch of stuff to buff my pyromancy because I don't really see anything else that stands out as especially good.

Depending on how you're playing it's not a terrible idea to just use all the benefits for minor penalties rings: Prisoner's, FaP, Bloodring. If you need those pyromancy rings though, I'd probably stick with them.

I use milkring because it looks cool, the two pyromancy rings and an estus ring. Sometimes I swap the milkring out with sage ring if I find myself casting a lot more fire orbs than usual. If I'm doing a lot of melee & dodging, I'll equip the flynn ring, which increases attack rating if you have light equip load.

Couldn't wait to brag about icing Dancer on the first try in NG+.  Fucker. I remembered to throw on the Symbol after killing Yhorm but never got to after Dancer and thus missed over 100k extra souls

I'm starting a second playthrough, and I'd like to go speedy sorceror with a dagger for backup. I guess a slow start is to be expected, but when does the build get good? Vordt went down on the first try on my blind Quality Knight playthrough but he's killed me about five times on the new character so far. Any particular rings I should be on the lookout for? And I'm guessing I want to Raw the dagger to start with, right? Pyro seems to be more effective judging by the posts in this thread but sorcery looks so much cooler

Like Orv says, your spells aren't going to be your main source of damage until you have over 50 Intelligence, most likely. You can definitely still use them, but consider them the backup, not your melee weapon. Get a weapon you like and make it Raw, then buff it with Magic Weapon or Great Magic Weapon when you need extra melee damage, and use your spells when you have an opening to do so. At 50-60 Intelligence sorcery is very powerful--like, kill an NG+ boss in three Crystal Soul Spears powerful--but it takes a long while to get there. There's also nothing stopping you from using some pyromancy once you meet the trainer and get some. It'll scale with your Intelligence, too, and provide you a nice variety of spells.

Yeah sorcery doesn't get good til like mid game. My 2nd build is basically chucking fireballs. Also got lucky and got the Symbol of Avarice on that first mimic. He can be a bit finicky following I had to run in and out three times so he could eat the Dragon's fire.

Ok well good news: ng and ng+++ are not restricted and password is independent of level and weapon. Just connected with friend account who has a level 62 character. So a hypothetical extended level range for passwords is possible. Level 16 guy waited an hour for nothing. 62 sat for 20 seconds and got the hit. Armor and weapons left appear visible to the lower level and can be collected. Rings as well, actually. Including NG++ exclusives. Covenant items, shards, boss souls, etc can be dropped but are not visible. Great champion souls can be, however. I'm willing to believe the theory that passwords extend the restriction instead of outright remove it.

Using the dried finger in the forest is so much loving fun. Legitimately had 3 on 3s going on, with Host/Phantom/Darkmoon Blade vs Red/Watchdog/Mound Maker. This is legitimately on the level of Cat Covenant fun.

You can build int and still use pyromancy except the ones that have faith requirements, but even better just build pyromancy and then respec magic when you get far enough. Or better yet play a swordsman up till halfway through the game and then 180 respec into magic.

Pretty sure you can get Chaos a good bit earlier than Dark, in the lake / ruins. (Chaos is also int/fth) You only need giant's coal for chaos but you need profaned for dark, although its not really that much further in the game. But Dark gems are pretty dang late in the game.

Actually it is odd given that all the Dark Souls games so far have had talking cats who were sort of important--Alvina the biggest example--and Shalquoire seemed to have meta knowledge of the world's plight. Odd that all the cats have gone now in the apocalypse of Dark Souls 3

Mr Dog posted:Aww but that's not cool Just make a weapon Raw and buff it with (Great/Crystal) Magic Weapon when you get them, then use your spells when you have good openings to do so. Pump your Intelligence while you're at it--you won't need to bother with Str/Dex to scale your Raw weapon--and eventually you'll start getting good spells and doing good damage with them.
