Also, is there the set of favor in this game?

The game is telling me to extinguish 3 flames to join Farron's Legion. I am at the swamp and see flames but do not see a way to extinguish them. Am I being too literal?

The Flames you want to extinguish while ARE literal flames, are more ceremonial.

Build Questions, if I want to do Hexing / Sorcery and be relevant in PvP how should I build my character? I'm asking because I'm wondering if I should value strength or Dex more, what are the caps for magic builds, and whether INT or FAITH is more important. I know there are items that scale with both, but can't I use the Sage Coal upgrades to make it better with one or the other. Is it ok / good to take a good weapon and slap INT or Faith scaling on it? I have almost 20 strength, almost 20 Vigor, and I don't want to rebirth for the good ending or whatever.

Which Wiki are you guys finding the most helpful? GameFaqs, IGN, Fextralife, Wikia, polygon, or kotaku? (I know the last two are magazines but they set up their own guides.)

Dark Magic Explained

Dark Spells, Pyromancies, and Miracles only scale with Intelligence and Faith when using the specific dark item for that class.

For Spells, that's the Izalith Staff

For Miracles, that's Caitha's Chime & White Hair Talisman

For Pyromancies, it's neither

Here's a spread sheet with the damage laid out.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TbK4UVHz5A33CzpBkMs81o8OOB9aWqQU3UEWVRPkXeY/edit?usp=sharing

In short Dark Rocks, if you want to go Dark, but pick a pyromancer if so, because you won't be getting much more after 30/30. And you won't even be doing that awesome damage until areas WAY later.

That NPC will not spawn if 1) You already beat the boss of the area or 2) You joined Rosaria's Fingers.

There is a trick to farming the same one over and over again without killing it. Throw an Undead Hunter Charm at it, check for the head, if not, reset game and throw again.

Wait why reset game?

I wish you could pick up the Giant's Coal way earlier. I want to start out with a Chaos Longsword or something for a quality Dark Magic Pyromancer.

Also, is it too early to start posting builds, and talking about builds? I want to get the most out of Dark Blade, but if I invest the 30 levels into Faith and Int, I then have to get STR and DEX up to like, 20 each for the Dark Sword which has S rank scaling with chaos, and you need 50 vitality for poise in PVP, which means you're not going to have a good buil until level 80 or 90. It's sad really, because dark spells can do upwards for 1500 damage to players, but you're so hosed by cast times.

I wish spells cast faster, especially Dhorys' Gnaw

By the way, can everyone see the spreadsheet I posted earlier that explains dark scaling?

So, a question, is there anyone who's found the paired spears and/or straightswords who doesn't feel like they'd ever use them? I want to do a gimmick run but they come waaaaaaay too late for my tastes.

Yeah sure, add me on steam https://steamcommunity.com/id/Turtlishus/

I also need someone to possibly help me transfer over some gear. I want to go through the whole game in armor of favor. Just because I love the armor, and I need to start over for a 3rd time anyways :suicide:

Kiggles posted:

You're still missing the point. It is the same level used twice before. The comparison with DS2 is to illustrate it is actually a different take on the mechanical design of a level. Valley of Defilement gets the pass for A) being the first in the series. B) strong/memorable thematic design. DkS1, whatever. It was bad, and for what it's worth, Farron is a better "level" than Lower Blighttown. The problem is, trudging around in muck has never been fun, but this is the THIRD TIME they're doing it.

You don't have to agree, but your initial assertion made is seem that anyone's contention was a matter of it being hard. This entire time I have been trying to communicate that it has nothing to do with it being hard. It isn't. It just isn't fun. You can have fun with it, but we aren't. I never had fun with it. I definitely don't have fun with it the third time.

Magic is really good, but you only get to really play with it in NG+ and the last boss.

I wish magic was more front loaded

# ¿ Apr 26, 2016 21:55

Turtlicious: Sep 17, 2012; by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

Specifically, as a pyromancer, you can get 30 / 30 the soft cap for Dark Magic, at a really early level, but you won't have the proper Chime / Catalyst until after you've killed a poo poo ton of bosses. Luckily you can item trade, so I'll just drop one for my guy, once I figure out how to do that without getting another player involved. Right now I have to grab a buddy, give my item to him, then summon him into a new world and then have him give it back to me.

Turtlicious: Sep 17, 2012; by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

Sorcery, Miracles, and Pyromancies are always outclassed by weapons. I hate that they need rings to be effective. I tried Dark Flame with my 30/30 build, and it's beat out by Great Chaos Orb. Deep Soul Sediment is beat out by like 80% of the other sorceries, which are beat out by a guy with a sword. They require a ton of items and they're not properly explained. Use a longsword and be happy, as that's the only real way to play DS3

So you basically do Pyromancy for the first half of the game, get 60 int, 30 faith then go sorcery?

When does Sorcery outscale pyromancy?

Which Miracle spells don't suck?

Someone give me the scrublord's guide to sorcery please.

you're right I should feel pity on the poor mages and their weapon buffs and farron darts that do more than my punches do, come out faster, stagger, hit at range, and use comparatively less FP than I use doing my weapon art, especially since they're forced to duel other people against their own will without any knowledge of how to actually manage the spells they've been using all the way to soul level 60

also, I do let mages use blue sippies, I do it all the time, because I do now how hard it could be, even if I didn't know about not being able to spell at 1 FP (because I don't like using magic in souls games). I guess I haven't said it enough but I only really go sip-for-sip when the other players M.O. is clearly draggign a fight out with a war of attrition. I'm giving them what they want lol

Farron Dart does like 18 damage with a +3 staff and 30 Int
