I forgot to mention that I started this game as a soldier. I've been melee-ing my way through the entire game so far. I haven't gotten stuck or in too much trouble yet at SL 37, but patience is key.
I'm still focusing on leveling strength, endurance, and vitality. When can I expect to find some good armor and weapons? I've picked up lots of good drops already but can't use them for my class. I picked up the super heavy armor set at 1-1 with PWWT; it's way too heavy. The only pickups I've equipped so far are the adjudicator shield and fluted armor set.

Yesterday I tried to show this game to a friend but when I entered 4-1 I was immediatly invaded and killed.
He turned and asked me, "is the game always like this?"
I replied, "yes, yes it is"

The same thing happened to me after I cleared 3-1 and went back to body form. I loaded up 4-1, went to go brush my teeth, and came back to find that I had been killed by a black phantom. Fucker had no class.

You can also equip Crescent weapons for MP recovery.

Completed 1-2 with ease this morning. Soul level 38.
I probably died five times trying to make it to the bottom of that mine shaft on 2-2, and I almost beat Flamelurker on my first try.

Ha, had to fight these guys one on one with melee only, equipped the theifs ring, ran across to the other side, first maneater didnt see me so I waited for the second to spawn, fought him on the other side then went on to the first.

I just picked up the Crescent Falchion on 4-1
As much as i'm loving this game there still sooo much i dont know, i apologise in advance for the stupid questions:If i have the weapon equipped but not holding it, will my MP still replenish?
If i level it up will the MP replenish rate increase?

What the hell made the developers put two maneaters? As if one maneater wasn't bad enough. That kotaku pic is so true. My Barbarian was strictly melee. You can imagine how fun that is. But then, I had the meanest Meatcleaver around.ninj4junpei said:
Which is a really cool weapon by the way. It looks fucking scary to boot. I'm running around with my dragon sword and some Red phantom shows up. He thinks I'm easy money. Then I change my weapon to Meatcleaver and good lord, the dynamic of the battle immediately changes from offensive (red phantom) - defensive (me) to defensive (red phantom) - offensive (me) :lol Its always hilarious (and awesome) to watch.

1. no. you have to hold it
2. I dont think so, I think the rate is constant

You'll still only recover one mana, but the frequency is slightly higher. (According to the wiki):
+ 1 1 Mana Regen / 5 seconds
+ 2 1 Mana Regen / 5 seconds
+ 3 1 Mana Regen / 4 seconds
+ 4 1 Mana Regen / 4 seconds
+ 5 1 Mana Regen / 3 seconds
You can combine two rates by equipping two crescent weapons, but they can never be same level(frequency) or one of them will be cancelled out.
To get the maximum recovery rate, equip one crescent weapon with level +5 (1 mana / 3 seconds), one with +1/2 (1 mana / 5 seconds) and a fragrant ring (1 mana / 4 seconds). HP recovery items should work the same way.

So I'm doing the Old Monk in 3-3. I'm not sure what happened, but he literally one shot me. I couldn't tell if it was a BP NPC or someone actually invading.

dreamer3kx has got you covered. I had trouble finding him first time I played as well.
Help!
Been playing this for a couple of hours and i've been doing pretty well, i think.
I managed to go past the dragon and pull the lever that opens the huge ass gate at the beggining of the Boletarian Palace.
Problem is, right after i pulled the lever i fell down a fucking flight of stairs trying to dodge a blob-like creature's projectiles and DIED :lol
So now i'm at the beggining, in soul form, but the gate is still open. Should i go back for my soul or is it okay if i go through the gate the way i am now?
Will dying in soul form undo all the shit i did so far?

basically its just:
-if you go to where you died and pick up the souls, you get back the souls you had when you died
-if you die without having picked them up, they disappear and you have lost them
this only affects your souls (the number in the bottom right). inventory, game progress, levels, any souls you already spent etc you get to keep regardless. think of the souls as unspent money, when you die you drop the money, but not what you have spent already or your items.
depending on how many you had, if its a long way you might not want to bother. if you fell off somewhere the souls should be where you were just before you fell off. its a little blue thing on the ground.
you're stuck in soul form now until you beat a boss anyway.. get used to it

FUUUUUUCK i just saw on Youtube that i died right before the last gate to the beggining of the level opens :lol
Okay, now i have my body in the farthest part of the level, but managed to still open the gate to the Phalanx boss.
What happens if i die in soul form in there? Will i have to push the lever to open the gate again?
Please help
edit:
thanks

Yes, i'm actually scared of myself :lol
I'm not the most skilled or experienced player when it comes to these games, like...at all, so yeah i'm quite honestly surprised at how i managed myself against most enemies without getting hit (too much) so far.
And i died once because i'm a moron and fell off the starway that leads to the last door before the boss room :lol
Anyway, i just upgraded my Long Sword 2x and learned the fire magic. I'm a total n00b so hope i'm not wasting my souls here.
A few personal milestones.
I passed the 100 hour mark with my character, and successfully defeated an invading black phantom! We were both strict melee, so it was a fun, challenging battle.
MYE, don't worry all that much about losing souls. Especially if you are focusing on exploring new areas of a world. That being said, I will generally always head back to the Nexus and level up if my souls reach enough to do so.
EDIT:
I am trying to get my hands on a Black Phantom edition of the game. I think I am going to try and start a magic based character, and go as lite on melee as possible, since that's all I have done so far. Just to be sure, playing a EU game on a US PS3 doesn't have any problems right? i just connect to the EU servers?

Alright, managed to get my neighbour to finally try the game And even I learned something new. It's apparently impossible to die during the tutorial until you reach the Vanguard. He probably died 2-3 times over before he reached the boss.
I think it took him 3 tries to reach the red-eyed knight. But he actually managed to kill it due to a couple of super lucky soul arrow hits (yeah I made him a royal) but since he had barely grasped the concept of lock-on (but not camera control at all), he got backstabbed by the blue-eyed knight :lol So he got the red-eyed dude to follow him all the way to that portal without seeing anything in front of him We have now given up for the day (possibly forever). It's 0:30AM and I have school in 7 hours.

I want to Kmart today to use my $25 Move coupon to re-buy this but they were all out. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU. I'll probably just buy it from Amazon.

Okay, I'm convinced that 4-2 is the developers symbolically giving magic users the middle finger.
The reaper right around the corner was a real dick move.
Edit: I fucking love the Storm Ruler so much. O_O

5-2 is the fucking worst place ever. So many things that just drive you nuts. Ran threw both with my soldier and royal. That place is brutal. I wonder why no one ever invades that area? :lol :lol :lol
Planning to use Dragon Bone Smasher for the 3-3 event as the Old Monk. Good idea, or bad idea?
I'm using 4-4 for soul farming, but is there a faster way? Currently SL 75 on my royal and soldier.
If I beat 1-4, I can't increase my SL after that until Phalanx in NG+?
Also planning on taking Old King Doran with my poison weapon and death cloud. Anything I should know beforehand?
