What priority/order do you guys level your stats up in? I know pretty much where I want to end up with my character but I have no idea if I should be maxing things out one at a time or going for some kind of proportional split or what. e: And related question, if I were to stop at 25 or 40 or something for low-level PvP, how would that change things?

Is it worth respeccing to 99 luck for farming, or does it make a negligible difference that's not worth losing out on stats that make fighting the mobs easier?

WarpedLichen posted:You really don't many upgrade materials in this game do you? There's always just enough drops to keep one main weapon topped off but that's it. I'm in Irithyll of the Boreal and I only have enough large titanite shards to get my weapon and shield to +6 and I can't buy anymore. The enemies that drop shards seem to drop mostly small titanite shards. Infusion gems also seem really rare - I still only have one refined gem. I was loving drowning in Titanite of all varieties before I reached the game's end, not to mention you eventually get the option to purchase all of them as well. Don't ever upgrade your shield, there's no point to it.

The next area showers you in large shards.

You also get the ashes that make the firelink merchant sell unlimited large shards in the area after Irithyll.

If the latter, is there a way to get infinite gold coins, or just the small handful patches gives you and maybe as a rare drop (and grinding for items to make grinding go faster is absurd)

I'm trying to play the game co-op with a friend who is playing for the first time while I'm using an endgame character. We have passwords set and everything, but she's still only able to see my summon sign sporadically (as in, we've only gotten it to work once). Is there anything specific I can do to increase the odds of having my summon sign show up for her? I already make sure to take off my armor and weapons every time just in case having powerful gear blocks you from connecting to lower level characters.

When I tried co-oping with some friends it worked in some areas but not others. I have no idea why this would be the case; specifically, it worked every time in the first Undead Settlement bonfire but not the next bonfire after that.

I think regular? I'll look it up. There's no way I'm aware of for gold rusted coins. Regular you can buy 'em from patches, tho. e: nevermind, doing more research I can't find any info on the item find cap. Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Apr 23, 2016 |

Yeah I read hard cap at 99 luck (199 item find) as 199 is the item find hard cap. My b. What is good info is that every 100 item discovery is a straight precentile increase to drop rates. So if an item has a 5% chance to drop and you have 200 ID, it has a 10% chance to drop. If the item has a 10% chance to drop and you have 230 ID, it has a 23% chance to drop.

This host's white phantom just totally changed sides on him and started attacking him when I showed up. I mean I was watching them go through the level and I tried to ambush them while they were fighting a black knight and the white just switched sides immediately.

It was a red (or purple) phantom wearing a ring that makes you look like a white phantom. No it doesn't work on signs, sadly.

I'll just put the gold ring +1, symbol of avarice, and coins and that should be good enough. Respeccing and then having to spec back before I can do anything else is too much trouble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq-TyMu7qv0 These dudes were running around a level 30 pvp zone (I'm level 31) with late-game armor and weapons. Probably expecting to jump some poor red phantom invaders with their hosed up gank squad. But what they didn't expect... ... was the power of friendship.

Any particular advice for a guy who's awful at this game? I haven't beaten the second boss yet mostly due to time constraints but I'm wondering mostly what I can manage for a build. I started knight and found the deep battle axe so I've just been dumping levels into (hp) and (weight limit). I went ahead and got the official guide for helping me find poo poo (only to find out I had already cleaned out the first level). Just looking for general advice, really, as I still have trouble with all the guys with spears and armor (wing knight and whatever the above average full plate guys are). Is my build going to keep up for a while until I get the hang of this stuff? Oh. This is my first souls game as well.

Our summon sign is still purple, though, so if somebody summons us and still thinks we're a white then whatever happens is pretty much on them.

Quick question, going for the lord of hollows ending. Does using the velka statue to remove hollowing but keeping dark signs break the quest? I've heard a high hollowing level messes with invasions/summoning so I want to fix that.

Currently I'm running around with 24 str and 18 dex rocking the Wolf Knight's Greatsword. Should I continue using it, or should I switch to the dark sword I got since this thread seems to love it so much?

Is my build going to keep up for a while until I get the hang of this stuff? STR builds with heavy weapons like greatxes and greatswords etc. are really good. If you like the big slow chunky weapons I would pump strength. That deep battleaxe will last you a while though until you find a weapon you really like, or in case you like the battleaxe, you can strip the deep off of it later and tailor it closer to what you need. As for general advice on specific enemies or strats or whatever, keep throwing yourself at them, be patient, learn their combos and openings. As your weapons get heavier, you'll be able to stunlock enemies more often, which helps a lot. a cop posted:I'm rally bummed I can't get mound makers on my current run through :'( yeah if you did the tree you can still follow Sirris questline, but if you pissed her off you're SoL my friend. Honestly, if you're jonesing for that grape juice and you're like pre-irithyll, I'd just restart. That's just me, though.

A one two three four swing, and a one two, roll, and a one two, step back, one two, swing. The enemy is your dance partner, you learn their music and their step. Killing them and getting a drop is like finishing the dance and getting a little kiss.

Thinking of item discovery and whatever, be sure to rock the crystal sage rapier if you're gonna try to farm something up, it gives a ridiculously significant boost to item find as long as it's out, which for me just meant in the left hand 'put away' belt slot while I 2h'd my big main weapon.
