What did you guys get as starting gift, and what starting class did you take?
I will probably take the wanderer (will receive the game in mail tomorrow).

I am a bit torn between the master key / pendant or fire bombs.

1) Master key: gets recommended by most guides to unlock most basic locked doors.
2) Pendant: the Pendant actually gets recommended by a game dev as the suggested starting gift (something to do with the story line?).
3) Firebombs: With this you can kill the "tutorial" boss in 5 hits insteed of slamming it for ages with your bear fists.
Killing him unarmed at the beginning gives you his huge mace that is supposed to be really good (if you have high str enough to wield it).

Any thoughts about this? I was thinking the pendant.

^i chose the master key, also read pendant had to do with something unique but idk what it is, fire bombs you can get in the game early on but you can't get the master key if you're not a thief end of story. choosing class depends on what you want kind of char you want to make (melee, magic, hybrid), so look at certain stats depending on what you want.

weapon scaling is pretty simple.
so a dex scale wep would pretty much mean it's damage is base + whatever your dex is.

so a D scale would obviously be lower grade than a B scale, and so on and so forth, so if you were to go with a dex build (high dex) you would want a high grade dex scaling weapon so it gets more +bonus dmg.
so a split scaling would mean it gets bonuses from both str and dex, where D for str means it gets less for str, and more for dex, since it's a C.
but lets say you have double str to dex, it'll probably do more with the D grade str due to the fact that you have so much more str, but they both contribute to the weapons bonus, it's just that the higher grade contributes more.

and one with B would be superior to one with D and C if the stat for B was also higher, if it's like B for faith and you have 10 faith vs 40 str and 30 dex, it would do less but if they were for example 30 faith vs 30str + 30 dex, i'm not too sure, but you should get the general idea now lol


yeah that's what i thought. i'm upgrading an uchigatana, B scaling for dex and it's great bleed damage. it's +10 right now i need the find the very large ember for +15. i think weapons don't scale anymore or scale less or differently when you change it to certain other things and i'm pure melee so i'm sticking with the regular upgrading

just get the drake sword u can get it fairly early into the game its a 1 handed 200 damage sword reqs 16 str and 10 dex
e: master key is good but i havnt really got anything to pro with it yet except doors to impossible monsters to kill atm but firebombs.. that would be a big waste

Is there any method to warp to different Bonfires that you've already lit instead of backtracking and killing spawns all over again?
