I levelled faith to be able to use Hexes even though I'm mainly using sorceries, do I need to keep levelling my faith to increase their damage? Its at 22 at the minute. Just wondering if I'll end up using miracles as well or if I'll not have enough attunement slots. This isn't really for pvp though

Doctor Spaceman posted:I found it handy to go to the Bastille for a bit (enough to unlock a couple of bonfires), and then to double back. I wish I'd realised before using co-op to defeat the boss and then the same for the boss of Sinner's rise because I would have stopped at the second bonfire and gone back and might have been able to do them solo when getting there again

How do I get to the boss of No Man's wharf? I've met Gavlan, found some pier where someone left a message with boss ahead on what I assume is the boat but going everywhere I didn't notice anything to get it to dock. I mean I'd not have fought the boss anyway most likely since I was down to 1 soul arrow, 1 great soul arrow, 4 dark orb and some lightning spears. At least I found someone selling spells so I can replace lightning spear Edit: Is there much difference between heavy soul arrow and great soul arrow?

david... posted:I think you're asking how to get the boat to come to the pier, there's a switch high up on the upper levels overlooking the pier, pull that. Nah I'd summoned the boat but then got rushed after going onto it, was wondering if it triggered everyone in no-man's wharf or just the guys on the bridge

Is the fact my gate near McDuff, and pretty much everyone's whose world I got summoned to closed mean they went to Lost Bastille from beating the Pursuer?

Whats a good place to get large titanite shards? I want to upgrade my archdrake staff and it seems getting the ember for McDuff is a fair bit further into the game. I'm not really sure which way to go now anyway that I've finished Sinner's Rise and No-Man's Wharf. I used the branch of yore on the statue in Majula

Ravenfood posted:Go through the space behind the statue in Majula. You could also go through the original path to Heide and talk to the cleric there. She can open another path. The latter route also gets you on the path towards the Dull Ember. Having a bit of a google it seems there are a fair few items useful for me as a sorcerer if I go through the space left by the statue so I guess I'll go that way

Shaded Woods is interesting  After reaching the second bonfire easily and wandering into the fog bit to realise I couldn't hurt the ghosts I just ran around it a bit, picked up 2 rings, found some corpse thing that could talk and then reached the 3rd bonfire where the bull things take hardly any damage from any of my spells and I then broke all of my equipment touching a couple of pools

Reading the last couple of pages I'm getting the feeling its worth it for me to use a soul vessel and respec from using sorcery and going for faith instead and using miracles? I'm still fairly early into the game. Just FoFG/Tower/Lost Bastille/Sinner's rise completed. I'm at 24 faith/38 int on this character and I suppose I could drop the int and start using a melee weapon more too

How rare are Pharros Lockstones? I've got 2 at the minute after unlocking the one in Forest of fallen giants and Lost Bastille to get to Belfry Luna. What about soul vessels? I'm currently playing almost entirely using sorcery with a +2 axe rarely but was thinking about changing to mostly miracles and using a club I just found in Huntsman copse instead so speccing from 38 int/24 faith/25 atn to mostly faith and str instead. My vit/vgr/end/adp are all crap though

My only real concern about respeccing now is not having enough souls to buy miracles with really. I've only got lightning spear so far

Kiggles posted:You shouldn't have to deal with but one enemy. Look more closely on your next trip to OIK. specifically, look for a ladder before the very last turtle knight Will do. Its not like it took particularly long to get here anyway. Now I've finally got the archdrake staff upgraded to needing titanite chunks I've joined the bellkeeper covenant to get some. How often do you get summoned to fight?

How rare are the items to infuse weapons? Got 1 for magic infusing and was wondering if using it on my archdrake staff was a bad idea Edit: Despite the fact I don't have any stones for upgrading magic, McDuff will still let me infuse my staff?

I'd like to know this too, and also where I can get a second soul vessel that isn't the house in Majula. I don't want to respec to find myself gimped because I've not paid attention to other gear and only have lightning spear as a miracle

Is pvp forced at the doors of pharros? I got summoned as a grey spirit there. Kind of annoying that the person healed after I hit him with a spell and he stopped taking damage so I switched to resonant soul which didn't hurt him either

Captain Hats posted:One thing that's bugging me though, I've beaten the sinner and OIK. Currently I'm at Royal Rat Authority at roughly 1 million soul memory. Has my compulsive sunbroing shot me out of co-op range or am I still good? I'm around the same and was able to do co-op for the Brightstone Cove boss. Now I've beaten that do I need to drop down the hole in Majula? What do I need other than the ring from the cat since my HP is crap and falls seem to do fixed damage rather than a percentage

Manatee Cannon posted:Yes and yes. Your equip weight influences fall damage as well. Alternatively, if you go to Earthen Peak there's a man that will sell you ladders for the well once you get him back to Majula by exhausting his dialogue. I've got him back at Majula but I take it I won't be able to collect anything if I don't fall down myself

Is it because of the order I've done things? I've done a bit of co-op but not a huge amount and I doubt I've died more than usual which makes it a bit poo poo if I'm locked out. Soul memory for co-op is so dumb. Maybe I should get the name engraved ring

Does upgrading armour improve the effects they give or just the damage protection? I'm wearing the lion mage set and hexer's hood so its not like it provides much protection anyway so I've ignored improving it. I really should pump my strength a bit more and find a 100% protection shield. I've been using a large leather shield since the start

How many NPC's need to be at Majula to get the soul vessel from Saulden? I've only got 1 soul vessel so far and I'm thinking about moving to a str/faith build but since I'm pretty much a pure spell caster now I'd like the opportunity to go back if it proves to be a bit poo poo/slow to start. How exactly would I allocate my stats too if I tried this. I'm at SL 111 at the minute and it seems that I'd need to increase quite a lot of different stats. I'm currently running 50 ATN/46 INT/22 FTH as my main stats with a couple elsewhere like in STR so I can use a shield
