Dark Souls

So I found a great place to farm Humanity. And it appears you can buy Humanity infinitely at shops that sell them. Didn't know that.

Decided to try out some PvP now that I have all of Artorias' equipment (armor, abyss sword, cleansing great shield) and ran into the Dark Root Forest and summoned a guy to help out and all that. Summoned guy proceeded to run off up north and killed Shiva and his Ninja bodyguard.

I'm not PvPing ever again.


So uh... how do you meet with the Darkmoon Covenant? And can anyone explain what each Covenant does?

Snip.

Wrath of God isn't that great against people. You can roll when it's cast and avoid all the damage it deals and also avoid the knock back. Gravelord blade is nice because no one expects you to use it, it gives you the surprise factor.

Where do you guys Darkmoon Blade and Sunlight Blade? Keep hearing about how awesome these swords are.

By the way... while I was leveling up my character the other night I noticed that increasing my Strength didn't bring up my attack power as much as increasing my Dex would? I'm guessing there's some diminishing returns on strength due to the two-hand wielding? If that's the case, is there a point where I should stop raising my strength and focus more on dex based on certain weapon scaling?

Darkmoon blade and Sunlight blade can only be used if you have high enough faith. They aren't swords they are weapon buffs. Strength and other stats don't always show up because it depends on the weapon you are using, the scaling on the weapon effects how much of a boost they get from raising up stats.

So where's a good place to farm souls?

Also, pretty certain the Pyromancer's gear can be acquired in Blighttown or the Depths.

The best place to farm souls is in the Duke's Archives IMO, go to the prison and kill those tentacles things where Logan was being held and then warp back to the bonfire via Homeward, Homeward bone or just running back to it. Each monster is worth 800 souls and there are 10 of them, netting you around 8000 souls per run and if you kill the two serpents on the way down the stair case you get an additional 1000 souls making your total 9000 per run. If you have the Symbol of Avarice then you get around 10800 souls per run if you kill the serpents and all the tentacle monsters. They also have a decent drop rate for humanities so you can farm souls and humanities at the same time, it's a win win.

If you just want humanities though then you can go to the entrance of gravelord Nito and kill those curse babies as they spawn infinitely and have a decent drop rate. The best place to farm humanity is in the new content in the oolacile prison where there are just monsters that are basically humanity. They have a good drop rate and also drop twin humanity.

so i found that the painting guardian's "armor" has super-protection against poison/toxic. i've been using it since i first got it but never paid much attention to it. then i went to PvP and i chose to head to blighttown for it lol.

Best places for souls are easily the NPCs in the forest and those two dicks that appear in the area before Ornstein and Smough after you do what you gotta do to put out the lights.
