Never got one and there are other people who also never got it after killing them all unless there is one super hidden one.

It will randomly spawn in one of the locations where one of the mimics you killed died. Apparently it's random but for me it spawned in Lothric Castle.
Annoying as fuck because I had to run around checking every spot.
Did you remember to go back and kill the one at wall of Lothric after killing the dragon later?
That seems to be one I would think a lot of people would miss.
Also, there's a really well hid one in Lothric proper right before ds armor you probably missed.
If you're sure, and the last one you killed didn't drop it,
the Symbol of Avarice spawns at a place where a Mimic previously was (it's random, as far as I'm aware)

Just got the 5 dark sigils. I'm Level 29 and have only just defeated V
(second character).
How much in terms of souls will getting rid of the Dark Sigils be at this point? I'll have to grind 20,000 for the Tower Key, 10,000 or so for the rings I want to buy then cure the dark sigils on top of that.

Dark Sword?
What a awful design if it actually works like that. Still I went through all locations on a Mimic list I found.
Yup got that one and it didn't spawn there.

5x your current level up price, plus a bit to account for the price increase between levels.
Do it ASAP.
Welp, better start grinding then. What's the best early place to grind souls? I'm at the Settlement right now.

I wouldn't bet on the Symbol being a guaranteed drop with so many conflicting reports.
If you have just one still alive, put it to sleep and hit it awake and repeat until you get it. Took me 2 minutes to get it.

Sunbro dancer. Easy 20k souls a pop iirc.
Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I need some practice on that boss anyway. I just hope my weapon (Uchigitana+2) will be able to make a contribution.

How does the Blue Sentinel covenant work? I equip the item, but i never get summoned.
Also, is there a way to obtain the covenant rewards without having to do those tasks? I know that some can be grinded from enemies, but not all? In Dark Souls 2, its possible to for example buy two miracles in NG++ that are covenant rewards.
EDIT: Same thing goes for the other covenants that have auto summon as well. I've never got summoned once.

You can farm those from the Silver Knights in

When you infuse a weapon, do you lose the infusion stone? I'm guessing so, otherwise you could infuse as much stuff as you wanted.
Oh yea, forgot Mound-makers can betray the host. I'll probably ask if anyone wants to do that later. Pretty burnt out from farming Concords.
No, but the difference is mostly negligible compared to ds2, sadly.
Enemies have longer health bars but I don't know if they do much more damage. I never really noticed that they did on my run, and my vigor stayed the same as I stopped leveling.
You also can pick up some new +1 rings, but really ng+ is pretty missable this time around unless you're a die hard or doing the cheevo grind.

There's an area in the game where there are two mimics right next to each other (because posts didn't exaggerate about how rare non-mimic chests are in the game), and if you put on a Gold Serpent Ring, you can keep throwing a Hunter's Talisman between them to get them both to open to roll for the Symbol of Avarace. If you don't get it, just wait until they close again and throw another one.
Of course you do.

Good to know that its at least possible to get it another way, but i'd hope to avoid that type of grinding. Reminds me of Pure Bladestone farming from Demon's Souls
Strange that its so hard to get summoned though. I've also set match making to worldwide.

Getting summoned as a Sunbro is super fast and easy. I had no trouble there. And Blue Sentinels automatically got summoned when I was wearing the Way of the Blue badge. Seems fine for me. MM is also set to worldwide.
seems the droprate is alright. Got two in 30 min but then nothing but shards and gear. Gonna farm later and see how it goes, can't be any worse than Concords.

Man I wish I'd gotten a dark sword before finishing my first playthrough. Farmed one last night and got it to +10 refined and it just destroys.

I follow the line that auto matchmaking is just totally busted at the moment.
Thanks, will try it!

But man, co-oping with a buddy is easier than ever. Even bloodborne with it's vague bell nonsense wasn't as simple

Seems like it drops easy. I was farming for them and got like 8 in a few runs with just Covetus Gold Ring and using a Rusty Coin. My Luck was only 7. Sold all but two.

Thats possible, although i have seen people being summoned when i've been the invader.
Guh, wish I had your luck. Had that thing on for like 2 hours last night and not a peep =/

As a DS noob and someone who is tired of the typical AAA stuff, the thing I absolutely love the most about this game is that I can't wrap my head around it. Every time I crack a layer of this game, it gets deeper and deeper. It's mind blowing.
Nope!

I went into this game expecting to absolutely hate the boss battles (and really enjoy exploring the environments and regular enemies)... annnd now I have 76 Sunlight Medals. Not really even that far into the game either—the last boss I killed was A
. It's just really fun to redo the boss fights. And to get easy souls.

I really want to like this game but playing through it again to make a pvp build I am feeling really down on it. Especially the first half of the game, undead settlement is the only area I like and AW is the only decent boss. And I'm finding it really difficult to find a build I like cos of how the game is balanced. I'm trying to like it but I seem to be falling off this game really quickly

Man, that one part in A
P
is just brutal.
Also in that area,

Getting out to the place with the twinkling dragon torso. I died on the last giant guy with the chain axe so many times after carefully pulling and fighting all the enemies one by one. The second to last time I basically had him dead, and then he does a grab attack that I'd never seen before and kills me.
Also in that area,
can you parry Havel when he 2-hands his weapon? I can parry him no problem in the beginning of the fight, but I tried sooo many times to do it after he does his armor thing and I would just get partial parry after partial parry.

Ok so I just started with the Vertabrae Shackles Covenant thing.
What exactly am I meant to be doing? Guy summons me and we just fight? If I kill him I get a Vertabrae Shackle?
I guess I don't get what the difference is to red invasion thing.

If you're purple, you can help host or kill them. You're basically not tied to being an invader or coop buddy.
