Most efficient PvE soul farming I had found was to kill off Gwendolyn, set the warp spell, drop off the balcony, run down and kill the two vigilantes at the bottom of the stairs, warp and repeat. I don't remember how many souls it is but it was more than anywhere else.
That used to be one of the best ways to farm souls at 10k per run, but it seems to have been patched so they don't respawn since the AoA update :/
That was seriously one of the most fun moments I've had in game, ahh wow.
Wanted to keep the Artorias fight exciting so I decided to go in with no healing allowed and with max hp as "half of what a level 1 char has." So either get hell or glory pretty much lol, so much fun
PTD can play with NQ Dark Souls.. and Blighttown is really laggy with 2 people lol.
I have a question about the Sunbro covenant.. The wiki says joining it gives you access to several miracles.. What are they? I know 2 of them are the lightning bolts but the wiki doesn't say the others.
I spent the first half the game throwing all my souls in to int. Then I stopped noticing a damage increase so I stopped at 30 and then read about diminishing returns and sorc weapon choices... 30's not terrible though and I do still have build choices but those weapons are somewhat more difficult to get. Game mechanics are a bit weird in this game. Any advice on the sorcery front?

I'm not really in to PVP. But I do like the strongest stuff I can get regardless of what it takes to get it. I'm 53 atm. Running around in the Painted world now.
Wish I could make a Fang build. This game lacks Sari's though. :<
I guess my PC has strict NAT settings or whatever, so it's making my ability to invade/be invaded pretty shitty. I'll need to get onto my Dads PC at some point to fix this. ._.
In terms of functionality, I've heard that the PS3 version is less prone to invasion/summoning failures. Something to do with Xbox/Windows Live on the 360/PC and how it handles P2P sessions with that game. I can't account for this personally as my Dark Souls version is PC only.
I'd also imagine the PS3 version has the highest user base as the first Souls game is a PS3 exclusive. So you will have more fans of the game on that platform as opposed to people who picked up Dark Souls as their first game which is what a majority of PC and Xbox 360 only players likely consist of.
So chances are you will sync up with people to co-op/ invade more often on the PS3.
So if you have a choice in Xbox360 or PS3, I'd go PS3.
