getting close to being "done" with my arcane build. I'm only taking it to level 60 so that I should be able to find and co-op with random people in most areas of the game except for like the first two areas. although honestly knowing me, I'll probably get invested in exploring the chalice dungeons (I've already cleared a good chunk of them despite only being at level 38 right now) and level myself up more later. hard to say.

I still have a good amount of areas left to unlock in the base game. I've been taking it slow, talking to NPCs a lot, and thinking about the lore as I go through it. it's been a while since I've done a run like this. it's really common for me to either be doing a challenge run or a speed run.

cleared everything in the DLC up to ludwig. I have no plans to fight him right now. although I think I probably could beat him, since I'm mainly using a good fire type weapon that is also serrated. but I'm keeping all of my weapons at +6 and I know he'll be a pain to fight without at least a +7 or +8, especially given that I am planning to cap my level (which means a lower and less optimized stat spread)

my main goal is to get some irregular weapons so I can start slotting more of the elemental gems that I've collected, and then I will feel better about upgrading those weapons. upgrading regular weapons feels like a waste of chunks because I know I'll want something with three different gem slots later on, and these will end up getting tossed in the trash. for now, the augur of ebrietas is good enough to deal with pretty much all of the chalice mid boss types -- dealing over half their health in damage and knocking them down so I can finish them off. most bosses are usually weak to either bolt or fire, and I have access to both. I could probably finish the rest of the game at level 38 with just my +6 weapon. might even be a fun challenge to do so.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
