I wonder if the effort of grinding up 30 humanity makes farming the ore without it about the same amount of time. Surely it must still be a significant investment to farm up 30 points?

I do believe you can really. I've seen loads of ghosties running past me alot, aswell as messages. I haven't been in human form so much though, so don't know to 100%. Not sure about randoms, but maybe if one coordinates stuff.
But yeah, you decide if it's worth the risk really.

I have like 140,000 souls but I don't want to level up right now because I want to do co-op stuff. Is there anything worthwhile to spend all these souls on?

I can't speak for ore but it made farming Souvenirs a lot less painful with 30 humanity. I would say it took me from a 1 in 50 ratio to about 1 in 20.
While farming eyes of death off the basilisks in the depths for Nito I would also make a quick trip to kill rats which seem to drop 1-2 humanity per run. After that I went to farm harpies while keeping the humanity I used on the basilisks. Maybe 3-4 hours investment.
I do hear skeleton babies drop an insane amount of humanity in the Tombs?
So I killed the priest at the top of the Undead Parish (that cleanses sins). He yielded a Dual Humanity, and the Book of the Guilty.. Pretty cool, shows hundred of sinners and their sin amount. Love this game..
HATE the fact that I spent over 2 hours fucking with my router to get my NAT type more open, but could not. STILL lucky if I get one summon a nite.

You missed where I said I took the shortcut, therefore I only turned over 1 or 2 of the bridges.

I tried to co-op in the same area for 2 hours last night SL around 55 and not a single hit. Still the time was not wasted as I had fun fighting the 2 holy knights before the boss numerous times.
Disappointed though with the online. Demon souls I spent 100 hours or more just helping people fight bosses. I was hoping to have the same experience with this game. Hope a patch is able to fix things.
I'm kind of LTTP because I rang both bells, beat Sen's, etc., but is there any reason not to start down the Pyromancy path now? I just received the glove
I can upgrade
Did I miss any upgrades for good by this point?
from the swamp guy. I guess I saved him without realizing it because he's hanging out in Firelink now.
I can upgrade
the glove a few times with him, then visit the Chaos Servant by Queelana for a few more right?

Humanity: Farming the baby skeletons is annoying because their drops disappear so damn fast.
Duke's Archives Question:
Duke's Archives Question:
Where is the key for Big Hat Logan's cell? I killed everyone in the room he was in and got 3 keys and none worked. When I got out of that room, I seem to have killed everything and still haven't found it (found the 3rd bonfire).

I am a dex build, but I've built up pyromancy and it has been helpful. You should upgrade it as much as possible.
The guy in firelink can upgrade it to +15. After that my understanding is that it isn't the Chaos Servant, it's some female NPC in the swamp in Blighttown who you can only see after the glove is beyond +10

Where is this ladder? I must have missed that room. I was worried I had missed the drop of the key or something.

Do you know where the bonfire is on the lowest level of the Archives? The key is in a room that's super close to that bonfire.

Noticing some weird input related stuff that have resulted in a few deaths.
The most infuriating one was when I was fighting one.of those knight dudes with the capes and thought I had an opportunity to take a swig from my flask. It turned out that he didn't backdash so I went for my shield; blocked successfully and backdashed myself to get a bit of space, all the while with my shield still up. Then out of nowhere I take a drink from from my flask and get hit by a lunge attack killing me. This was something like 5 or 6 seconds after I pressed square.
Nearly flipped out when that happened.

Level 66, I'm at the Anor Londo boss now. There are two areas I ignored so far: the forest behind the sealed door (only "farmed" some souls there. Through fighting and not the cheap way, though...) and the tomb of giants...I just don't see anything and I don't think my character can learn any spells..I couldn't use magic yet. Hopefully there's some light ring later on in the game.

Tomb of Giants can't be beaten until after Anor Londo and the Wolf of Drakeroot Garden anyways.

Yes, if you want -- you just need to decline Kaathe.
However, if you want to be a Darkwraith, screw Frampt -- I think you might lose the ability to have Frampt eat things for you though.

Always tell Patches you are not a cleric.
After he does his thing, talk to him a second time and he'll try to be buddy buddy and give you an item.
Then he should go back to firelink.
To get him in the catacombs, you need to go before you talk to Rhea and her guards.
Wow. I didn't know Ceaseless Discharge was so easy. The guy kick my ass the first time.
If you don't grab the armor set near him, he won't attack as soon as you enter the mist. Just attack him and start the fight. Now, lock on and stay close to the side. When he starts to do hand stomp, just roll to the side. Then, run in and 2 hand his arm. Repeat. I didn't get him once on NG+.

Is there anyone else besides the guy in firelink and the blighttown chick that can upgrade the pyro glove then? I'm at +9 and she has not appeared in blighttown, but the guy at firelink is gone. Am I hosed?

I have had some severly delayed/lagged flask drinks that have gotten me killed too. I'll create distance and try to take a swig, only to have nothing happen. Then the enemy is upon me and I start fighting and my guy will randomly stop and take a drink, getting me killed almost every time. I don't know what causes it but it's soooo aggravating.
So are we aware of this? http://darksouls.fromsoftware.jp/online/
Sounds like From is readying the next patch, which will include some bug/exploit fixes and rebalancing of various items.

Blegh, really not enjoying trying to get through the Sen's Fortress boss. My highest damage weapon is a Divine Morning Star +5 that's doing tiny, tiny damage per hit. The constant messing around with lock-on is irritating. I don't have enough health to survive the grab attack. I have a decent enough handle on his moveset now to avoid most of the attacks but I can't seem to make it all the way to the end of his lifebar without eating just one unlucky pick-up-and-smash.
