It is REALLY easy to miss things in this game. I'm having fun though.

First I missed the summoning bell (and wolf summon, and I love wolves) until i had put a good 20-30 hours into the game lol. I finally got them, and now I can upgrade them as well (which rocks).

Second it took forever and a day for me to find a few spells. I got some from NE of where I started, but they were not really better, I eventually found a turtle (cause you know, turtles are known to be epic spellcasters) that had a few good spells for me, but jeez that took awhile to find.

I got a rapier eventually and used a keen warthingy on it, which makes it do good damage based on dex (which I find helps dps significantly, and gives me an alternate damage type/combat type.

The rapier is super fast, but I'm using it less now as my spellcasting gets better. My int is about 40 but I have not noticed a ton of bonus damage from boosting it. Boosting Mind also just doesn't seem to really add much to my max FP.

I also have a melee char who was much easier to play initially (I killed the tree knight and got his halberd, but the lionels greatsword or whatever it's called that I got almost right away is still better honestly.

That greatsword with jump attacks just destroys bosses. It was total cake to kill pumpkin head with it, but with my sorc it was a real pain and I died like 3 times before I killed him (did it easily with the greatsword character on the first try and barely used any healing potions (and he has all healing potions lol).

First early/semi fast soul farm spot for me are the 2 giants pulling the carrage ne of the start. They are worth like 1k each, but they can't attack back if you range them (spells especially) and the second one doesn't even count as in combat so you use no stamina casting spells on him. That is a great/easy way to get souls for a spellcaster since you can just spam attack them and then run n a bit and reset.

Still not that far in with either character though, so not sure how they will turn out long term, but so far, melee seems much easier, especially from horseback. The halbard is actually better then the greatword on horseback cause if I time it right I get 2 swiped with it (heavy ones).
