Couple of questions, I'm going with a STR/DEX build and currently farming for a Baldur Side Sword.
- Is the Undead Parish the best spot for this? There are about 5 Baldur Knights in the area but the closest bonfire isn't really close and I've been at it for about 45 mins.
About shields:
- Is there a difference between a Crest Shield and the Grass Crest Shield other than stamina regen?
In regards to the Baldur sword, should I just skip it and go for the Great Schythe? I've never used either one but I'm trying to do something different this time around. Thanks.
Yes, Parish is where you farm it. Try popping some humanity. The higher your soft humanity (the number next to your health), the greater your item discovery. 10 I believe is the cap.
The crest shield has 100% physical damage resistance and great magic resistance. It's a great shield. Grass crest is a good shield as well with high physical resistance and the stamina regen. Depends on what you want. I personally carry both around for different situations.
Depends on what you want. Great Scythe has range and bleed. That's pretty killer. It's entire move set isn't the best but it's running R1 and R2 attacks destroy. They alone make it a worthy weapon.
Balder is perhaps the most solid straight sword. Nice and long, good for thrusting.
I personally prefer the scythe. The bleed just adds a whole new fun dynamic.
