:Lol I did some extreme rough estimates but
"Okay so I needed 12 darkmoon covenant items to get the platinum. So I wonder what the drop rates are for the darkmoon covenant item. I used Gold Covetous Serpent Ring +2, Crystal Sage Rapier, Symbol of Avarice, Hollowed infused +10 sword and rusted coins. Thus bringing my item discovery to 429.
In ng++, I started with 0 souls and ended up getting 4763498 souls. Each knight gave me about ~16087 souls. I killed 300 silver knights which I sometime killed the red eyed silver knight. So 12 darkmoon covenant items dropped / 300 silver knights killed x 100 = 4.03 % drop rate for the darkmoon covenant item with a item discovery of 429..."
edit:
Out side right by pontiff sulyvahn bonfire, farrons keep, first bonfire at high wall of lothric are a few I notices.

So I got approx. 2.8 million souls on the way to 28 concords, I get 3300 souls per kill that means for 28 concords I did 848 kills.... what the fuck Miyazaki.... and that is one covenant... DS III plat is absolutely bollocks ~_~
Don't use a fire gem. It's better to get Astora Straight Sord, and infuse it to Raw. Buff it with Carthus for even more damage if you want to.
When you get better INT/FTH you should infuse a good scaling weapon with Chaos. For example, the Astora Greatsword scales very well with that.

Thanks! Will give it a go
He used dried finger. It opens another summon in exchange of being able to be invaded by more people too.
The game finally got a little bit hard in NG++. In my previous two runs through I killed Abyss Watchers first try, and on NG++ I got my ass kicked. Pontiff nearly got me too, I had to use a blessing and ember to heal since I ran out of estus, but I still killed him.
Every other boss so far has been fairly easy, I only have a couple left before I can collect the final few rings. Champ, Yhorm, Nameless King, and Dragonslayer Armor.
Also I ran around embered through 5 areas and for 5 bosses last night and only got invaded 1 time. Not sure if I'm too high or maybe people aren't invading as much? That time I was invaded though I noticed it summoned a Darkmoon Blade nearly instantly, so maybe the patch worked (?).

I anyone wants some rings, just shoot me a PM.
I think I have to go to NG plus to get the stupid Proper Bow gesture.
You can save to external source and then copy your save back after giving away all the rings.

Combine with the slumbering dragoncrest ring and you're practically unstoppable and it goes so much faster too, especially the Farron items at Keep Ruins.

Meet me at anor londo? Set the password as ds3gaf and I can drop the sage +2 ring for you.
The furthest I am is Halfway Fortress, can you meet me there?

Yeah that works. My summon sign will be red btw.
Edit. Be a tad bit down the hill. Before the left turn.
Some of the miracles, Rings, and pyromancies are obtained through ranking up covenants. Normal way to get them is to be summoned, but summoning is broken. Hence farming
did they fix summoning in the latest server maintenance any? They gonna fix summoning? Maybe I can wait... At least I got all the rings...
Thanks for the ring, I appreciate it, feel free to PM if you need any item.
nah

They claimed they adjusted covenant summoning. Try it out

Yes. Kill last boss, don't touch bonfire! Backup save. Do stuff for all the endings. Done. That's what I did.
When I respec at Rosaria, can I go down in levels?
I was at SL120 and then on NG+ I had to level up 5 more times for Yoel's quest and ended up at 125, where I get invaded much less than I'd like. I'd like to drop 5 levels if that's possible.
I have a feeling I'll just have to make a new character though.

No. Sorry
I dont think you will get more invasions at 120.
yea, but i'm sure he'll go fully solo during a replay. still waiting for the epic NK fight. i wanna see how good he'll be against him.

3 Proofs of a Concord and 3 Human Dregs in a single run - The old gods of Lordran are smiling on me today!
Cut to 4 hours later and not a single further drop!

The dread of probability!
Should have been a boss, enter arena and a die roll decides instantly if you win or lose.

I was honesly exasperated when he decided to skip Consumed Gardens.What are you guys doing to poor ENB. His content is great.
Like, what.
not as far as i know.

That someone can even bitch about ENB playthough its crazy, and sad. Who cares if he skipped X, or did Y that way, or missed Z?
He is doing a blind playthough for himself, not for spectacle. Just don't watch it.
i think kids these days think people will do everything in one LP cuz they're spoiled from all those LPs on YT therse days. they don't even know what a blind run is.
In the strangest correlations, getting real good (again) at DS has made me really good at StarFox (with the Falco debuff/buff), lol. (And the reverse too, did some much better boss runs on Pontiff.)
But the latter helps really wash my palette between DS3 play sessions as I was starting to get really bored while doing more new character runs while waiting on DLC.

Nope.
Good ENB episode, but his tweet ("The funniest bit about all this to me is how far certain parts of the Souls community have drifted away from the creator's intent and tastes") is a little strange when he intentionally plays in offline mode, which is the opposite of how the creators intended it
the community aspect of the messages and invasions is a huge part of the game and it really ties everything together and justifies things like hidden walls and ambushes
