That all makes sense and ties into everything I already know about RPG's. Except the letter grades. I assume lower is better?

Here is another example of what I'm talking about

Am I right to assume the only requirement to carrying the weapon is strength(where it says 46)? And to the left of that is a strength icon with a B. Am I correct to assume that every weapon will have 1 or multiple letter ratings here, and whichever is the lowest letter is the attribute that will benefit the weapon the most? So this works just like putting intelligence/strength/agility items on intelligence/strength/agility heroes in Dota 2? Match the attribute to the bonus and the weapon hits harder.

Correct. So needs 46 strength (it is red because you don't have it) and will get better the higher your strength is.

Letters go S > A > B > C ... In Japanese style. Note that B isn't that great considering you need 46 strength to start with (which can be a lot when you will want to raise other stats perhaps)

Note that you can get around this requirement by wielding with two hands (but generally can be tricky/dangerous)

Edit. You can't sell. Much later on there is a limited system but it generally isn't worth the hassle. Just store things away and get your souls from any number of nice grinding points.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Sorry I added this part after you responded.

But in these screen captures what do the cube that says 22.0 and the icon next to it that says 600 mean?

Thank you btw. Yes it all makes sense now especially since I didn't even think about the japanese style of rating things : /

So if a really large sword requires strength to be level 26. Does that mean that increasing strength a lot higher will make the sword easier to handle?

 

[toddhunter]

Sorry I added this part after you responded.

22.0 is the weight. This big issue with weight is firstly you can only equip so much, but more importantly if you equip over say 'half' of your total weight you will roll really slowly.

So there is a trade off between how much you can wear and how much you can move. Most people find movement is king in the "souls" games (but this is up to your style, just take things on and off till it feels "right").

Things that are low weight and strong (especially armour) are generally the best items to have.

The 600 is the durability. That will drop down to zero (and the temporary "broken" state) as you use it (in this case it is 600/600 so 100% repaired).

So if a really large sword requires strength to be level 26. Does that mean that increasing strength a lot higher will make the sword easier to handle?

If you are under 26, you can use it but it will be like trying to swing a piano around. Not very effective. Once you get to 26 you can use it as normal.
If it scales with strength, increasing your strength from there will allow you to do more damage. Otherwise increasing that stat will do nothing directly.

If you've bought all the needed items, go for it. In case you're a melee build be sure to buy the Reinforced Club and Hand Axe from him, he's also the only merchant that sells certain items.

FYI, if you're a melee build and want to get the "Magic Weapon" achievement in a practical/useful and accomplished way...buy the Warrior's Round Shield from him. He's the only one that sells it, and it has the 2nd highest magic resistance once fully upgraded on the magic path. It's also extremely light, so it's great for almost any build. I abandoned Havel's Shield for good after discovering this, only problem is the low stability.

So if a really large sword requires strength to be level 26. Does that mean that increasing strength a lot higher will make the sword easier to handle?

I ti s very important to note that the strength requirement ( and dex or int or faith,) is only the requirement...nothing about increasing the stat actually helps much for anything but the damage mulitiplier for the weapon and ability to hold the weapons.....and in the case of maigic , ability to use certain sorceries and miracles. There are rare points like dex will help casting time for pyro for example...but very rare. Strength is never necessary to get the full max ...I NEVER get the STR requirement...just got the Man serpent great sword....and it is 24 req. but I am two handing it at like 14 or 15. Two handing just takes getting used to...use the triangle button to toggle on or off the two hand with your shield.

Climbing out of the tree ain't shit, try climbing back out of TotG after farming White Titanite for some real fun, before getting the Lordvessel of course. You'll never hate Bone Wheels the same way again.

Very true...although i finally havea few strategiesfor these...I think we already discussed them but make sure to ask if there is anyone that hates bonewheels.

I just killed him on my new character, but I have played over 1500 hours of souls. New people don't realize how deep and meticulously layered the game is and very often obscure shtuff becomes very important later on...since there is no weight burden it is sheer overconfidence at best not to buy everything and keep it all on hand for a rainy day......lloyd's talismans can be used for mobs as well as other players...notice that certian mobs will chug estus (balder knights are annoying when they do this, as are the bigger black iron knights.) Also lloyd's talismans are invaluable when facing a certain mob later in the game...I won't say why, has nothing to do with estus chugging though, but DEFINITELy keep a few on hand at all times. Several other vendors sell these so no worries. I killed the merchant this playthrough but I unlocked a number of passages to new vendors within minutes of doing so.....these shortcuts will not be obvious to you if you are new. I also suggest that you buy as much repair poweder as you can afford...there is never a good time for your weapon to break (as it will break while you are using it obviously) and in the fieldsof battle this stuff is GOLD. Certian weapos that have special magic ability will wear down fast and repair powder is the only way to go in order to keep top durability topped up at all times.

Edit: Happy new Year!!!

Popping enemies off from afar with headshots is great fun, damage is higher too for headshots of course. Bows come in handy for poisoning etc. Love me some bows in DS, would love them to make even more types in DS2, not sure how they would do it though.

As for Sen's once you know the layout it's one of the best areas imo, I love running through the place the axes are placed very strategically so you can run through them without stopping if you time it right, very clever of From, fantastic level design.

I am slowly working out the aiming but its just seems really weird. Something about the slightly up and slightly to the left to hit them feels off. Plus is seems crazy expensive to keep buying more and more arrows.

Maybe having bows have certain move-sets like weapons. Would be nice to have some bow skills like concussion, or pinning an enemy down, or distraction. Would also be nice to have dex speed up bow usage. Damn thing takes ages to pull back.

Sen's is an interesting change from the more open maps I have been running around in. Very creepy and the feel of dread is always there. Love and hate the area so far.

Your stats are fine. The black knights are actually pretty easy once you've figured them out. Either strafe around and backstab them to death or you might even consider the parry/riposte tactic if the area is two narrow to move around too much.

They only get stronger after every play though.

had a great coop experience today. Helped a guy out with Gaping Dragon whilst farming a bit of humanity and shards, then pissed off to blighttown to see if I could get summoned by anyone who needed a bit of help against Queslag. Turned out to be the guy i helped earlier with the gaping dragon.

After that, made my way back to sen's fortress to finally hit Anor Londo. Before making the trip, i placed my summon sign, thinking i'll give it a few minutes to see if anyone needs a hand with the Iron Golem. Pretty much 5 seconds after placing it, i get summoned, it was the guy i've helped with the previous 2 bosses. Good times.

Couldn't stay away from sorcery. On the PS3 i was primarily sorcery based with quick, light weapons and armour. This playthrough i started out going melee tank, but felt it was a little too flat, so started putting a few points into sorcery for magic wep/great magic wep/crsyal magic wep etc. Using a claymore and a shotel, baldur sheild and elite set. Working out pretty well so far. especially the shotel in PVP. Confuses some people when i'm in close and switch from the claymore to the shotel and damage them through their sheilds.

Dragon Slayer Great Bow/Gough Great Bow are the best for your build.
If you want a light one for dex, the Black Bow of Pharis is the best. Composite Bow is really bad if you shoot from a long distance unless you use the Hawk Ring. But with the Hawk Ring the BBoP is even better so it's the light bow of choice for a dex build.
