Great Resonant Soul is so good. Casts so fast you can chain it with basically no downtime, and with a +10 Dark Caitha's Chime, it hits for 1200 or so per hit. Only downside is its 500 soul cost per cast, but with the kind of enemies you reserve it for (bosses, invaders, phantoms, etc), it's not much of a penalty.

Pvp question. I went to Pharos for the first time yesterday and was summoned as a shade into someone else's world. I was confused. I had no pvp rings on and thought it was for help. Sucker starts attacking me from range. I had to off him but was confused that I got pulled into his world rather then him invading me
You can drain the poison by
setting the windmill on fire with a torch near the second bonfire.
If you do a special action it drains the pool and gets you access to an estus shard.

Yep. That happens. Which is nice. Because when it does and you win, you get a pharos box out of it. I especially enjoyed the other day when the guy set up all the dastardly axe throwing obstacles and ended up getting killed by one of his own traps lol.
You can get rid of it, I wasn't aware when I killed the boss so if you want to save some grief read the spoiler.
Burn the windmill by the bonfire and it drains the poison.
I had a brief, but great time as a ratbro in the doors of pharos. Laughing maniacally as I activated every trap, used 5 bonfire ascetics, and used sliver talismans to hide myself as a torch sconce at a perch where I could watch people get slaughtered. Occasionally, I leapt down on them from above while they were looking around; plunging a flaming greatsword into their skull.
Ahhh that explains that. Thank you.
Light. Lots and lots of light. Not a huge game changer unless you are having trouble with the long armed beasts.

Does Galvan flit back to Majula like the other merchants? He's left zombie pirate town, but I don't see him back at base.

The rat Vanguard or the other rat boss?
Thanks. I think I might already have it and forgot about it.
Yes.
Correct.
Yes and dunno. You can get more of the latter than you'll know what to do with if you spend time as a bell guardian.

Is there any reason throughout the game to light the sconces, aside from adding light to an area?

Wait a minute? Brothers of Blood does not work? I thought that was like the Darkwraiths?
Just curious why it does not work?
Damn, reading all this about BluesBros is bumming me out, that's the covenant I was going to join next time I jumped into the game.
There's one area where it's definitely helpful.

I have it and it's really high quality. I love it.
He seems to park in a different zone but he has been there every time I have gone back so I think he might stay there.
Zone is
Door of Pharros.
Oh thank God.
I later found him again in... I think Harvest Valley? I don't know where he moves after that though.

Ignore my post. Wrong merchant. I was thinking about the sorcerer.
Don't worry, even though they are limited and you should be careful, they are still kinda plentyful. I have like 9 on my right now, and I'm still like 1/3rd through the game, if not less then that.
You will find

To the left, right before the boss in the Cathedral of Blue
I think there is a trophy/achievement for lighting every one.

So on the ring side of things, what rings are everybody using? Personally if I'm not involved with covenant stuff I'm using:
I also apparently got a really rare ring as an early drop (first ring I got actually) according to how it sells for nearly twice the amount of souls than any other ring I own.
Ring of Restoration
Cloranthy Ring
Ring of Blades
Ring of Binding
Cloranthy Ring
Ring of Blades

Stone Ring that adds to breaking enemy poise.

I don't think so.
But I still light them. Makes the areas look better and is sort of a minigame for me.

Okay, i think I will give up. Shrine of

Does this ring break after extended use? The flavor text makes it seem like it does.
The ring you got as a drop is a guaranteed drop from
The very first hippo thing at the very beginning of the game.
Personally I use:
3rd ring of the dragon (Ring of Favor and Protection 2.0)
Ring of Blades +1
Chloranthy Ring +1
Soldier's Ring +1
Ring of Blades +1
Chloranthy Ring +1
Soldier's Ring +1
Probably the hardest area of the game for me. Don't give up!
Tell me about it, the knights on the path to him are actually the first enemies I've rendered extinct.10th death on Smelter Demon
oh god
Interesting, I'll give that a shot.
You sure, i'm doing half the damage when using that O_O
Blade
Bracing Knuckle +2
Chloranthy +1
Ring of Life Protection
Switch the last one with Second Dragon Ring for that sweet HP/Stam/Equip bonus if I'm in co-op
