When you level up, you choose one of your stats to add +1 level too. All stats cap at 99 so usually by level 711 you have all stats 99. But no one levels that much anymore, it would be like getting one million exp per level in Ffxi
What do you want to do in game? Like magey stuff or pld stuff or thfy stuff etc Idk, kinda just want to cut/stab stuff, don't know what else I am able to do :/ also, I saw a guy with a scythe in one video are there scythes that you can get from certain monsters or a quest? No matter what job you start as, you can do anything you want and wear anything you want easily. The only thing it affects is what you start the game with and what level all your base stats start at.
So a pyromancer could level up str and Rex to 40, using every huge insane weapon in game just as easily as a warrior but their vase str and Dex starts a few levels lower that's all
Most of the best weapons in game are crafted or rare drops or in hard to reach locations that's all. There are a few style scythes in game yeah but not much is quest exclusive. A few spells are quest line exclusive but that's usually it. So what would be a good class to start as a first character then? I was thinking that everything was class specific :| so now there's a lot more options lol.
Well the "Thief" class starts with the Master key which is broken and lets you skip whole areas (missing good items) other than that not much between them really just different weapons/armors.
For the "Starting Gift" you could pick the Master key (Thief starts with this already) or the Old Witch Ring which lets you talk to an npc later on in the game the rest of the gifts are potions/bombs so not really worth it over Key/Witch

Carbuncle.Josiahfk said: »Warrior and knight are good jobs for beginners. You start with a shield that blocks 100% of physical dmg, handy to learn the game and survive longer
More advanced jobs start with weaker shields and rely more on evading attacks
Faith is like their version of mind do you can hurl lightning bolts as a knight if you lvl up faith enough
And they have int like blms too with a job like sorcerer etc Guess I'll start with Knight and see where I go from there then :) I have 2 days to figure it out anyways.
Thanks for answering my questions ^^

For what it's worth, you can indeed slay that demon with your barefist or that crappy broken sword, but the endeavor will take you about 25 minutes if you don't die, and all you get is its crappy maul weapon. You can also start with the black fire bombs, which will do 195 damage per bomb to it.

Moon, a bit of advice.
If you feel like you're up against an unbeatable foe, then you know something is wrong. You either avoid it and save it for later when you're more powerful, or you find a way to beat it now.
I know the game has a reputation for being difficult, but it really isn't. It's more of a thinking game than a crush your corpse game. As long as you pay attention to your surroundings and go at your own pace (which should be a bit slow) then you'll have minimal issues.
Just make sure you block, and when you aren't blocking lower your shield to recover stamina. Stamina is very important to maintain. If you can avoid an attack even better, that will create an opening for you most of the time so you can attack. Make sure you lock on, and try to attack vulnerable parts of the enemy. hitting the back is usually an open spot, and if you line it up correctly (and if you're fighting an enemy that has a normal back) then you can execute a backstab for huge damage.
More experienced players can execute a parry and then a riposte, it deals more damage than the backstab but is more difficult to do without getting hit.

but yea,
the tutorial of the game basically teaches you everything you need to know throughout the whole game.
You learn about attacking, heavy attacks, blocking, running, locking on, using items, opening the menu, parrying + reposte, backstabbing, plunging, but more importantly it presents you with a challenge.
You encounter the demon with a weak weapon, and you obviously can't kill it (unless you're determined enough to, then you'll get a bonus weapon as your reward that you can't equip for 40 levels). You have to survive and normally you'll see the exit. So this teaches you to run from battles you can't win and save them for later. Throughout the level you are given your shield and weapon, teaching you how to equip it and using the directional buttons to change your shields and weapons, magic, and items. You get 2 slots for shield and weapon and 5 slots for items. You can manage these in your equipment menu.
Before you enter the 2nd fog door it tells you about plunging onto enemies for huge damage, giving you a high ledge to drop down onto him dealing 1/3-1/2 of its HP. It's a weak version of the real thing, but it's still powerful enough to destroy you if you aren't careful.
The fight teaches you to avoid strong attacks, that you can't just block everything and you'll be expected to avoid an attack completely. It also teaches you to find the enemies weak spot and to learn their move set so you can find an opening to attack.

So what exactly does humanity do? I know I can reverse hollowing and walk around and NPCs and stuff; I've read Kali's posts on that several times. Kindling a Bonfire, and eventually making them give me more Estus Flasks, but what else does it do?

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
