Couple of questions:
Sometimes I will have up to 11 Estus flasks instead of the usual 5. Often after I return from afk at a bonfire. Is that the effect of other people doing something with the bonfire, giving me (some of) the effect as well? I don't remember it from the original, but online wasn't as busy then as it is now (seriously, there are bloodstaines everywhere).
For upgrading: is there some strategy involved with what to upgrade, when to upgrade? I currently have my Bandit Knife and I don't plan on dropping it soon, so I wondered if I should just upgrade it as high as possible, as fast as possible.
Also I've noticed said Bandit Knife being pretty ineffective against bosses because you can't backstab them. What would be good allround weapon to keep as backup? I'm thinking either Scimitar or Rapier due to Dex scaling, but I'm not sure which would serve me better in the long run.
It's a great early on feeling! Congratulations. :)
Thanks! Feels pretty good to overcome such an enemy. Even moreso than the early game bosses actually.
Boar was, once again, easier to deal with then I remembered. It was fun literally jamming my knife up its ass.
