There's a spot you can kill the Drake easily, at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to its platform. if I remember correctly, there's a bunch of pillars or buttresses sticking out, so you can plink it with arrows, it'll fly up, send a fireball into those obstructions, and sit back down again. Shouldn't take long.

How big of a deal is the bonus from the Merchant hat? Is it actually worth wearing?

This set increases the souls gained by the following amount: Cap : 2.5% Robe 5% Manchettes: 10%. Trousers: 5% mostly just the gloves

It's mainly for speedrunners who want to rush the 1 mil soul memory to unlock the shrine without killing the 4 lords

heard u like girls posted:This set increases the souls gained by the following amount: I think he means the Travelling Merchant Hat, which increases item discovery. The only numbers I've been able to find are from Fextralife, which is normally a dubious source, but they seem to have done actual research, with links to their raw data to come up with "+25%, but may not stack with other gear."

It’s invisible and not affected by levels, only gear/consumable.

Does NG+ effect item discovery? It really felt like it did when I was doing my platnium run, but I would completely accept if that was just confirmation bias.

Should I infuse it with dark for pure special attack damage or enchanted so I don't lose too much normal damage?

Simply Simon posted:it does and it owns poo poo dude you can powerstance them? This might be a bit less of a tedious challengr than I thought pre sanctum crossbow. Now I just need to figure out which utility hexes I want alongside repair. I killed the dragonrider, last giant, amd pursuer. The first 2 were kinda hard since I was still learning the playstyle, but I found a loophole for pursuer and killed him with 2 shots of what could technically be considered a crossbow. My next goal is to get 2 heavy crossbows and get powerstancing online. I think eventually I'll have a dark sanctum crossbow and an enchanted heavy crossbow in the offhand so I can fire 3 kinds of bolts.

Look Sir Droids posted:What’s the typical END target for a mostly melee build? Does any other stat increase stamina? That said, there is a set of rings (1st/2nd/3rd Dragon Rings) that give +HP/stamina/equip load like the Rings of Favor and Protection. Once I pick them up in a run they only come off my bar if I'm in imminent danger of acid, since they have exceptionally low Durability.

The build so far Currently using raw Santiers +3. Building towards using the roaring halberd and hexes. I’m going to +10 my mace and probably slap dark on it too since the RH has shot durability. Look Sir Droids fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Aug 24, 2018 |

Playthrough is finally starting to kick off now that I can buy unlimited heavy bolts and my current crossbow is +6. Made a concession that I'm allowed to use a kinda lovely melee weapon until I get the sanctum crossbow as an offhand utility for farming or finishing off enemies that close the distance, infantry axe fit the bill and I had never used it before. It feels a lot more fun with it and I still mostly use the crossbow. I tried powerstancing crossbows and I was unimpressed, incredibly slow with a massive cooldown and very hard to aim. Will probably save that trick for big enemies with long openings. Next on the agenda is elemental bolts, a magic stone for the offhand crossbow, a darknight stone for the big gun, and to get down to the black gulch so I can start Shulva.

. I had a huge revelation in my mindset though when after having played through DS2, I got two friends one after the other into it and both of them were just coasting through the game, and I was like "holy poo poo this boss used to kick my poo poo in, how are you already past that area?" and he was like "what's your problem, I hit him a bunch, dodged a bunch and he died 
" and finally I found out that he had like 40 Vigor and a +10 Katana because he had decided that he wanted to play a Katana dude this run and just used the first one he found. While I was there with literally half the health and a +6 weapon because I don't have thaaaaat many Chuuuunks.

Simply Simon posted:Maybe not as much with a crossbow build, but I've posted before on The Vigor Issue (granted, that was for someone with 5 Vigor), but I think it's somewhat universal. Ah poo poo I was confusing vigor and vitality. Yeah I plan on pushing that now that I have the stats for my weapon of choice. I’ll definitely be at at least 15 before Iron Keep. I’m sure I’ll have levels to burn fairly soon. 40 DEX and 25 in FTH and INT are my only stat goals atm.

I don’t feel like I’m dying a lot, I guess. Most of my deaths I earned from doing dumb rear end poo poo and a couple hundo more HP wouldn’t have saved me. I take your point though.
