I haven't monkied with ashes of war yet, I can't imagine they're consumed when you apply them?

So regarding those holy claws, the Cipher Pata: I'm only level 52 and I've never played a souls game before. They're fun as hell, I'm either cosplaying assassin's creed or Wolverine, but the whole lack of range seems awful compared to when I was messing with the twinblade. Got the claws up to +5 and they do seriously shred at 31 faith, though.

Filthy Monkey posted:Not consumed. Swap them in and out to your heart's content. Also I didn't realize it until I actually tried one (which took a while because it looked like all of mine would make the damage much worse), but they actually have options for scaling type in addition to changing the weapon art. So you can keep it as a standard weapon and change just the weapon art, if that's what you want

Filthy Monkey posted:Not consumed. Swap them in and out to your heart's content. Can we put this at the top of the OP? Because for my first 20 hours I thought they were consumed. It wasn't until I found my first duplication material that I understood that you only need to duplicate ash if you want to apply the same ability to multiple weapons.

I love that in FromSoft games, you start at level 1 looking like a lunatic in your underwear, at level 20 you're a competent knight, and then by level 40 you look like a lunatic again with your stone mask, your weeping rags, and your actual moon-worship.

Here’s a fun trick: R2 jump attack, lock on while airborne and the hit will instantly track the target. This is going to be a thing in pvp with any weapon that has decent reach. I’ve done instant 180 degree turns to hit dudes rolling underneath me.

Who should From collab with to make the backstory for the next Armored Core for them to just put a Ninebreaker on top of? I'm not in the loop of popular sci-fi authors anymore, though, I think GRRM writes some of that too

I think I skipped a lot of stuff here. Killed Margit 2.0 in the capital, burned the tree and reached crumbled beastmen land. Just got my rear end handed on a platter by the beast clergyman who teleported here and turned into an assassin because reasons. Went back to the roundtable and everyone's dying/gone, and the blacksmith just said something about a godslaying weapon? I'll go for another playthrough so it's ok if I missed a lot, I just want to know if I somehow hosed myself over by skipping parts of the main quest.

Oh, this game. Went back and found the forlorn hound evergaol, 4 shot him. Including a charged r2 that did him for about 50% damage. Went to check on a sending gate near another grace, it put me right up to dragonbarrow whatever, right behind this big tall thing with a giant fuckin axe. I snuck up behind him and did the same charged r2, it did barely enough damage to count. Luckily I was able to get inside and use the grace

spoilers for if you haven't met the boss hidden in caelid sacred tower, but I've been having a good time messing about with scholar's shield, and also having both frost and bleed on a weapon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR8ZshFqkNw nice to see that frostbite+fire combo still works. also tbh it makes sense that there's [spoiler]no great magic shield, considering how strong regular magic shield is already considering guard counter[/url]

I went through Caria manor to the next area and apparently now I'm working for a witch. Finally decided to go through Stormveil castle. That place is absolutely massive and I'm completely lost on the rooftops. That said, I still lost my life on the various traps, I can imagine this being really miserable if you came here immediately after starting!

For anyone playing a caster build, is there stuff you can do to help FP consumption? I do have the talisman that restores FP on kill, but it so inconsequential. The build I am in right now feels like it can really gently caress poo poo up, but I run out of FP too quickly. Also, any caster oriented armor in general?

The build I am in right now feels like it can really gently caress poo poo up, but I run out of FP too quickly. What spells are you using? I rely heavily on carian slicer (ultra FP efficient, good damage, but forces you into melee), magic glintblade (not as good as the next one but more flexible and safe) and rock sling (less safe, best damage if you can freecast, arcs in a weird way so kind of requires the right environment). I very rarely had issues with FP outside of the early game. For armor I've been using the spellblade set from rogier, IDK if it is a significant amount but all the pieces buff sorcery. There are a lot of other options for hats specifically

Cowcaster posted:as stated in its description, the meteorite staff cannot be upgraded Ah right my brain must have blanked that when I got it in hour 3 or whatever, thanks! Just on rock sling it's amazing against invader NPCs as they can't cope with the delay. Also if you've got a boss at long range they will also duff the timing and get smashed with rocks. I can knock down more or less anything with three casts and run in for a critical.

The meteorite staff explicitly cannot be upgraded. The balance is why it's so crazy good at +0. Demi human queen staff gets better at like +9 with middling Int. If you just want to sit at like 12 Int and cast glintstone armaments then meteorite is pretty legit for a long rear end time.

I've just been ignoring them because the meteorite has 100+ more sorcery power and boosts rocks which are my go to spell.

Oh thanks! I have talked to that character way back when, but night doesn't make any change so maybe there's another trigger to hit, or maybe it's bugged. Will snoop online and see!

Harrow posted:Ohhh okay yeah, that's a much longer process. You have to do Ranni's questline. She gives it to you at the end. I haven't finished it yet but from what I can tell it's a rare fairly-straightforward questline in that Ranni will tell you where to go and what to do without too much ambiguity. It's, uh, sorta? Like when everything works you get the breadcrumb trail. I later found out you could talk to Iji and get the filler on where to go but Teen Wolf was nowhere to be found since I'd already gone to that area. Picked it up, completed it (or so I thought) but since there was nothing to point to taking the portal I'd have never seen it. Looks like Mailer's Capital Vacation just got delayed again.

Okay, I am preeeeetty stuck at this point. Level 40ish, three shardbearers down, locked out of the northeast. Any tips (beyond the obvious "holy poo poo 16 vigor is not enough for mid-game")? Deets: After I beat Renalla, Ofnir told me to go east and that "the two fingers wouldn't block me." I assumed this meant on past the lake area, but alas, I don't have half of the key for the big ol' lift at the far northeast end. So instead, I decided to follow Ranni/Blaidd's questline. I was somehow able to beat Radahn despite every attack of his one-shotting me. I made it to the Eternal City and pushed through to the gargoyle boss, who is very much the same deal—his darn ground-slam beam one-shots me and it's very hard to dodge out of. So okay, I figure I shouldn't be there. At this point, I feel like I've explored Limgrave, Liurnia and Weeping Penninsula pretty thoroughly. Probably a few caves and catacombs I haven't hit up. Which leaves me with: - Cleaning up south Caelid (Sellia, namely) - Dragonbarrow, which I haven't touched much of - Uhl Palace Ruins past , which felt way too hard when I last tried it after Ainsel River ant area Anybody in a similar boat?

So you can keep it as a standard weapon and change just the weapon art, if that's what you want Yeah. You can also add an ash of the existing move to change the scaling if you want. So a samurai could add a 'quick sheathe' ash and chance the sword to 'keen' to scale by dexterity. So it becomes keen and keeps the same move.
