@sabby the beggining of the game will be difficult as you don't understand what the hell is going on at all and what items you'll even be using. I suggest referencing the Demon Souls wiki and look at the various weapons to decide what build you'll go. Don't worry about losing 1-2k souls, you'll find eventually at 1-4 you can farm 10-20k souls in like 5 minutes. Made me feel silly that I cared about a couple thousand.
@lestat yah I'm finishing up one last farm, once I get the sticky compound bow at +5 i'm moving onto NG+ they say at 30 dex and higher it is one of the most powerful bows. Good thing I didn't spend anymore time upgrading the white bow. Spiderstone hunting is so annoying tho... just 5 more shards, I started this farm with 10,000 souls...each kill nets me 10-20 in pbwt. I'm at 18,000 souls....and I only kill like 4 monsters each run lol.
edit: btw sabby if you want the game to be easier do not die in body form while inside a world and do not invade others...I had to learn the hard way >< invaded 8 times the second day and than wondered why my life was lower suddenly..
