Are people using ashes of war? All the ones I found so far take a fairly substantial hit to physical attack power, as a melee build I’m kind of reluctant to attach them. Maybe when I’m a much higher level I’ll start playing around with them. I do have a quality build ash of war though (storm stomp) which ups my scaling for my build so I might just try that for a while. I found Sacred Blade ashes last night which was perfect for my Confessor. Lost about 50 points of physical damage from my Broadsword but added holy damage which scales with FTH The fact that I can remove it from my Broadsword and apply it to a different weapon if I want to try them out is genius Where!!??

Also, guys, I just applied Godrick's great rune buff to myself for the first time and it. Is. In. SANE. Like, are they kidding or what? You lose the buff when you die don't you?

As far as has been said, yes. Might be handy just to ensure the last gasp against a boss, or if you stumble somewhere you shouldn't.

スコットランド it was a drop from one of those big round beetle things in the open world. Not sure if they're a random spawn or whether they're fixed but it was in East Lingrave [edit] a quick Google confirms it's a fixed spawn. The location is Dropped by a Teardrop Scarab North of Third Church of Marika.

Any confessors using a dedicated faith-scaling weapon like Cipher Pata ? I’m wondering if it’s worth doing enough grinding to get to 30 faith

I'm just sporadically popping in to this thread to say this is still the greatest game I've ever played.
I don't want to do anything else other than play this.

Working from home is dangerous right now as it's very easy to forget how long a lunch break should be, or that it doesn't start at 9 in the morning

I accidentally jumped of a ledge at storm view and fell into a hole with what I can only describe as a scene from Prometheus at the bottom. I died from the fall mind you.

I got up late today, because I was playing this till god knows what time this morning. And now I've got my brew, it's fired up again. I don't want to do anything else at all.

You lose the buff when you die don't you? Yes, but you can farm rune arcs pretty easily just by helping other players beat bosses. I currently have 20. Ah, I completely missed the part where you had to use something to activate it. I attached the rune and have the symbol on the top left, so just assumed it was active, although couldn't see any indication it was buffing attributes. That will explain why I didn't notice any difference, even though it sounded incredible from the description. I must be approaching the Academy main boss, so will need to give it a proper go against them.

Wondered what they were for when I kept getting them for helping at the Margit fight. The buff from that great rune is pretty good.

I did the same with a Knights Greatsword but only to +1… then switched to Bloodhoud’s Fang because I preferred the moveset. Reading up on it, you might want to consider a trip to get a Knights Greatsword if that’s your thing. I didn’t realise how lucky I must have been to get it early game, but I assume I got it from someone South of Artist’s Shack

Stormveil castle is a gank fest. Loads of dodgy bastards just lurking in dark corners.

hedben I've levelled up the fist to +6 I think and it's doing about the same damage as the +14 greatsword. It is very short range however but the weapon art is a quite powerful lunging thrust. Will give it more of a workout and report back (all of the damage is holy though, no physical).

Can you only use ashes on certain weapons? Can't seem to equip my katana with any of them.
