Protip: There are two proof of concord kept per playthough It's faster to just play until newgame+15 than to grind silver knights for them.
Just keep your SL at 120 or less and put on the Blue Convenants as you go through NG+ and NG++ for the rings.
>>336515592
It's too late.
I think they will patch this though. covenant item drop rates seem broken. They vary from uncommon to pure bladestone.
What's a good level to just stay at for all the NG+'s and whatnot?
90 or 120?
It took me less than a week of invasions to get my 30.
Farronwolf shit are far worse.
>>336516463
In the time it took me to get all 30 wolfgrass I only got 1 proof.
>>336515319
It takes around 4 hours to grind 30 proof of concord kepts wearing symbol of avarice and gold serpent ring on ng
Stop crying
>>336516609
see>>336515713
drop rates are inconsistent.
40 luck, symbol of avarice, crystal sage rapier, hollow shield gold serpent ring +2 and copper coins and I get one in two hours.
same shit with human dregs, until one day I started getting one or two every run for no reason.
>>336517346
git gud
>>336516596
>>336516463
>Did Farron first week with lvl 30 and +3 weapon
>immediately summoned every time I come back to my own world
Sucks to suck
Does this game have an alternative way of getting covenant rewards like DaS2 did?
>>336515319
>SL 80
>Get summoned every 5 minutes
>Some people even host fight clubs where they spam crippled finger to get invaded while in way of blue covenant
>Get 20 Concords in 2 hours
>Just keep it equipped during my playthrough and get randomly summoned.
If anything I'm relieved i maxed Wolves of Farron on day one.
>>336517578
Yes, there are specific mobs that drop each covenant item
>>336517683
I was hoping for something different like buying the rewards from a merchant on NG+++ or something
oh well thx
>Grind Proofs for fucking hours every day with the occasional summon
>Finally get 30

And yes I've checked many many times, I have absolutely every single Miracle. Unsurprisingly I am the only person this has happened to.
>>336517840
Are you sure you have every single miracle?
>>336517840
Shouldn't have pirated:^)
>>336517840
>Unsurprisingly I am the only person this has happened to.
I'm going to be so shocked when you realize you don't have every miracle.

If the covenants worked, I wouldn't have done this, but they don't work for me at all, plain and simple.

why do you even need these?
and why the fuck is everyone STILL having problems with this? Is it bad internet only?
ahhh
>>336517840
>He still cares about achievements
>>336517916
100% positive. Unless there is a super secret hidden Miracle that isn't on any website related to Dark Souls 3 that I'm not being told about.
I've counted them up. I've listed them physically, with pen and paper, and compared it to my inventory to make sure.
>>336517975
I paid $55 for this bullshit. I can't believe I was considering a season pass. Dodged that bullet.
>>336518028
There is no doubt I have every single one in my inventory at once. Sunlight Spear, Sunbro rewards, all of it.
>can't buy gems
>kill 80 Blue Lothric Knights for one refined gem
>>336518062
Nah, it's completely random.
Two people from the same city could have completely different experiences.
A friend of mine literally cannot stop getting summoned as a Darkmoon at SL 40-50. Had to take off the Covenant from the slot and put in something else.
Meanwhile, I've literally never gotten summoned as a BS or a Darkmoon, and my invasions as a Watchdog have been very few.
And when I use anything else, Red Eye Orb or Aldrich Faithful, it works within 60 seconds.
>>336518034
i tried that too anon.
>>336518034
same experience
feel a little shitty but whatever
>>336518215
sure you do
>>336518215
That sucks a dick. I would be fucking livid if that shit happened to me.
Hope it works out eventually
>>336518283
did it weeks ago and no ill effects
did it offline mode
didn't do anything but turn the one covenant item i had into 30 covenant items
>>336518240
>4th game in a series

They never fucking learn
>>336518283
RIP in Piece
>>336515319
Just do what I did and don't level up until after abyss watchers. I just rolled blue sentinels at level 15 with a +2 Longsword and got all 30 in less than 2 hours because It was back to back to back invasions.
Low level invasions are way better anyway since DS3 pvp is so shit. DS2 was shit but the only area DS2 improved on was the PvP, and they threw all that away in DS3.
>>336518283
Huh. How many did you put in your inventory? I just edited it to 30 and had literally no issue whatsoever.
I did the same with Bloodgrass for the Watchdog.
>>336518363
took about a while for it to effect me too, right after the 1.06 patch
>>336515319
>put on Symbol of Avaraice
>Gold Serpent Ring
>use Rusty Coin
>farm 15 Concord in about 2 hours between farming and Darkmoon summons
It's not that hard.
>>336518215
Did you get the Divine Pillars of Light?
Warmth?
Wrath of the Gods?
>>336518494
> right after the 1.06 patch
U wot?
1.06 still hasn't dropped on PC.
We're still on 1.05.
We still get the notification for the 28th of April being the day for downtime, but shit's just not happening.
>>336518580
>Darkmoon summons
you got lucky
>>336518620
Yes
Warmth is a Pyromancy, but yes anyway
Yes
>tfw silver knights one shot me on +12
>>336518620
Fuck, wait, Warmth is a pyromancy. My bad.
>>336518215
what class did you start off as
if you started as a class that has a miracle that doesn't count and you'll have to drop it and pick it up again or buy another from a vendor
>>336517478
I wish people would stop saying this, we know what level/weapon upgrade is optimal. The covenants are just fuckimg broken.
I was in Farron Keep at level 33 with a +3 Halbard for 2 hours and I didn't get a single summon.
>>336518713
Emit force is the only miracle you can miss easily.
>>336518672
then it was that patch.
>>336518786
I've started 5 separate characters and stopped them all at level 30 with a +3 and its been constant invasions every character. Same for friends who did the same thing. Sure you're not banned?
>>336518786
>The covenants are just fuckimg broken.
They're clearly fucking not.
There's just less people and it's in a zone where it's unlikely that most will be Ember'd.
There's a lot more watch dogs than Ember'd hosts with phantoms.
Same problem with Darkmoons. Way more Sents/Moons than Ways.
Aldrich works so well because its' DIRECTLY after a boss where they are going to be in Ember.
>>336518825
I have no idea what happened to you then, anon.
I did these edits with CE on 1.05, naturally with previously backed-up saves, just in case, and I had no issue whatsoever. Granted, I immediately went and spent the edited in items, so maybe that helped with avoiding detection?
>>336518825
>>336518363
i did it before that patch and got nothing after that patch
something tells me you did more than covenant items
>>336515319
The best way to farm these is by staying at ~20-30 and up to upgrade level +4, while sitting around in undead settlement.
Afterwards your pool of way of blue followers dwindles.

Bountiful sunlight from rosaria's soul?
>>336519003
Do you have Dorphy's Gnawing?
>>336518919
No, because if I switch to a different covenant and use Red Eye Orb invasions are instant.
There's dozens of embered hosts, but Watchdogs don't get summoned (or at least some don't, since some people get constant summonings).
My theory is it's a weird priority system for the auto summon covenants, based off your online id or IP address or something.
>>336519000
I have 6 hours of footage to prove you wrong.
>>336519184
35. Counted and recounted. I even have multiples of some now. You can't drop Miracles, only discard them.
>>336519197
>>336519207
Yes.
>>336519298
That's weird. Does your Steam/PS4/XBone account say that you've got it? I had something similar happen because I D/Ced right after giving Yorshaka the ears, and it just sort of gave me the achievement off-screen.

>>336519919
Boulder Heave.
Havel's Ring sucks.
>>336519520
Well fuck me running, this worked. I screencap for posterity if I see anyone with a similar issue. Props my man, you need to go to Law School, you'd get places.
Why are Blues so fucking bad?
>>336519919
Boulder Heave, so you have a non-fire spell to use.
>>336520227
I figured it would work, i play a shit ton of videogames and i deal with bugs too fucking much so i know its frustrating.
>>336520135
This a thousand times.
Either a shitty spell or a shitty tailsman for 80% of the rewards. The Farron Wolves is the only one worth bothering with but it's totally broken and the first reward is it gives you a ring that boosts your poise in a game where poise doesn't work.
>>336520135
To drive achievement hunters nuts.
>>336520409
I actually want to be a blade of a darkmoon like in dark souls. They ruined the covenant. It should let you invade anyone in the fingers or aldrich covenant regardless of if they are embered, or anyone who has sinned and not gone to velka.
They fixed the cops. I get summoned like 4 times just going through an area now.
>all these complaints about covenant items
Maxed them all out on two characters, what the fuck?
Just play the fucking game and have the covenant item equipped, that's literally it
70-100 is the most active range, I found, especially for Darkmoons
I got summoned all over the world, even got summoned to the Undead Settlement from Irythil dungeon where me and the host fought FOUR invaders in a row (he had finger active)
Shit's so cash
What is the most OP sorcery in the game?
>>336520619
They were/are broken past NG0, not sure if that's still the case.
>>336515319
I got three Proofs in a single summon today.
>>336520135
Darkmoon ring is pretty decent if you don't want to level attunement for something like the Carthus buff or a random chaos pyromancy
The wolf blade is pretty badass
Sunbros get some of their best miracles
Obscuring ring is pure fun
Aldrich faithful rewards are kind eh though, gotta agree
Not all rewards are great, sure, but they aren't all trash too
>>336520641
Obscuring ring + Soul Stream
It sure is fun to one shot multiple people
>>336515319
Play online you fucking faggot
>>336519183
that's the list all right
but you're missing one in game if you don't have it
>>336521107
>these casuls think darkmoon cov works
>>336520865
>The wolf blade is pretty badass
470 AR at 40/40 is pretty shit man
Only 20 more than refined straight swords
>>336522208
>Only 20 more than refined straight swords
If you want to min max, there is absolutely not reason to pick any weapons apart from a straightsword, estoc or BKGA
I said it's "badass" not "extremely effective"
>>336522396
Straight swords and estoc are shit though, nothing but r1 mashers that only work in gank squads, so easy to outplay and destroy
Seriously though at the same stats exile greatsword has 100 more AR
>>336515319
or you could invade for them like a normal person. took me like 6-7 hours to get all 30
>>336522570
You're an idiot. There is no real counter to estoc spam due to parrying being shit.
PVP is pointless anyway until they fix carthus bloodring.
>>336522662
go away oblivious retards.
>>336522570
Sure, but it's the most effective damage output, even in PvE
>>336522798
Oblivious?
>"Waaaah! covenent items never summons me!!!"
Well, maybe you are doing something wrong. i get summoned every 2-3 min.
> "NO IM NOT! You're so oblivious to the struggle. 1/10, would not NG+"
Random question, what is supposed to have hyper armor? I've used just about every weapon in the game, and I've had every single attack interrupted. One thing I need to note is that I always use armor with next to no poise. Are people misinterpreting attacks to have hyper armor, when instead those attacks just scale REALLY well with poise?
>>336518215
Do you have the dark miracles? I don't know if they count or not but I don't see why they wouldn't.

>>336523078
>maybe you are doing something wrong
I can guarantee you that anything you did to get summoned like that, many people have tried without success including me. For example, as a watchdog I did the same exact level, weapon level, equipment, same exact spot to stand in, and so forth as my friend. He would get summoned in no more than 10 minutes, when my average summon was 2 to 3 hours, sometimes as many as 6 hours.
>>336522662
>this much endurance
Feel good to be a slut.
>>336523245
I've used every large weapon type besides swords, which I'm going to be using on this playthrough. I've had all charged R2's canceled. Its not common, but they have been canceled.

How new are you? Is the Reddit down or something? I really hope i'm getting trolled.
Why do I not get ears as a DMB for killing Aldrich Faithful who invade me?
Why is there no orb for invasions?
Fuck this
Why can't we invade as a blue for the item? We can invade as a Sunbro for sunlight medals.
>>336517346
The games internal RNG is seeded when you load your save. If your drop rate sucks, quit and reload until it stops sucking and then never leave that session until you've got all you need. Pretty sure this applies to all 5 games in the series.
>>336523897
Only get the ears if you are summoned to help another person who has an aldrich in their world.
Bullshit I know. Same for mound makers not getting an item for killing another mad phantom like the dragon covenant.
>>336524040
Certainly not in demon's where luck determined drop rate/quantity and world tendency determined the quality of the drop.
>>336524040
this sounds like shit advice unless you literally can literally predict what the seed will drop for you.
Even if your previous drops on a seed have been bad what's not to say that it will not drop on the next creep?
Or is the seed a constant drop chance percentage? if so its a shit mechanic.

I bet you complained about ice rapier too idiot
Oddly enough, I never get summoned as a Blade but get summoned more commonly as a Sentinel. I wonder if Sentinels have priority over Blades for helping their Blues?
Praise the dark.
Praise the vile blood.
>Aldrich faithful rewards are kind eh though, gotta agree
Great Deep Soul is actually pretty good. It deals excellent damage, has great tracking, fast casting speed and low FP cost. It's one of the few spells I find legitimately useful for PvP.
The staff I can't really say much about, however. I'm sure it's decent if you pump FAI really high and use Great Deep Soul or Great Heavy Soul Arrow. It's better than relying on Lightning Spears at least.
What are the best weapons for a Faith build? The mace seems kind of slow and I can't go Great axes or great hammers since I have to pump Faith to 60 for any damage miracle to do damage
>>336519904
That's dumb. They're not even worth selling
Is there an area where Blues get the most activity? Currently SL71 Weapon Level 8.
>>336518786
This, people who don't understand that some people cannot get summoned need to just fuck off.
I made a LEVEL 20 CHARACTER
LEVEL 20
+2 WEAPON
SAT IN UNDEAD SETTLEMENT FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF WITH NO SUMMONS BEFORE TURNING THE GAME OFF
Whats the best spot to invade at lvl 30 with +3 wep?
I wanna make a hosts' life more exciting :^)
>>336525673
Some people just do not get summoned. And by some people, I mean most of the playerbase.
If you have never been summoned , you will NEVER be summoned, no matter your level range or your weapon upgrade.
Meanwhile the people that do get summoned get summoned constantly.
>>336526704
If you got less than 100 upload/download then you literally have a 0.5% chance of getting summoned.
Get better internet cheapos
>>336527051
I wasn't talking about connection quality, I personally don't know, I have top tier fiber optic.
I mean the matchmaking queues. They're fucked.
>>336526704
i feel bad when I kill blueberrys because I worry that I was the one time they will ever get summoned
like, I instantly killed one of them witha surprise sacred flame and I wasn't even aiming for the poor sap
>>336527473
>finally get summoned
>appear between lothric knights
>>336527051
Has nothing to do with connection quality I think.
It takes me 5 to 10 seconds to find a world to invade. It took me less than 2 hours to get all 30 Dregs as Aldrich's Faithful, since I was getting back to back invasions.
But Sentinels/Darkmoon/Farron is broken, like that other anon stated. It's not about SL, it's not about weapon upgrades. It has got to be a bug or something with the netcode.
>>336515319
Just create a new character, level him up to 20 or so, equip the blue sentinel covenant, and then sit at the Undead Settlement. You will get the 30 proofs of concord in no time.
>>336528502
Fuck off retard.
>>336528502
>Misleading autists
Why?
>>336529083
I think he genuinely believes this. The type of retard who did one playthough with anecdotal experience.
creating a new character isn't even viable if you are trying to get all miracles, as you will have to do all the other covenant shit again too.
>tfw you are one of the chosen few who gets summoned by covenants a lot.
Feels good.
Admittedly, darkmoon still took a while to max. I generally left it on as I did my first play through. Probably 20-30 hours wearing it across all ranges of lvls.
Right now getting constant aldritch summons at lvl 100.
I've put blue sents on a few times and gotten a couple summons from that quickly too.
>>336529518
Thanks for calling me a retard for trying to help, you surely sound superior to me right now.
And sorry for saying that I didn't have any trouble getting the covenant items, I should have lied I guess.
>>336529945
> you surely sound superior to me right now.
I sure do retard. Maybe don't try to help when you don't know what the fuck you are talking about? Maybe even read the thread and realize such stupid "advice" has already been given.
>>336529912
To prove a point
Put darkmoon on at 11:47

Get a proof by 11:53
