Would reinforcing my Longsword be a good investment? Right now it's sitting at +2. Also, would it be a good idea to stock up on a few poison arrows (are these even useful?)

Also Lestat, how many hours do you put into DS every day? Because you're making progress very fast lol.

Really feel like playing DS right now but I have a stupid ass assignment and essay to complete for tomorrow >.<

Hmm, there are better swords along the way than a Longsword, so you might wanna hold on to your Titanites. I only started forging after fighting Quelaag. Haven't tried the Poison arrows yet. 

I've been putting a lot of hours, especially since i'm currently at a break in my thesis work until wednesday XD. 

Lucky you...studies haven't been very kind to me.

Also, I made a very dumb mistake by not picking the master key as my gift. Totally regret it now because I hear there is no other way of getting it other than picking the theif as starting class (I picked pyromancer)

Is there any good place to farm for titanite ores?

Nah, that wasn't a mistake. I picked the Pendant instead of the master key myself and i'm doing just fine. You can find/buy all the keys you'll ever need. 

The soldiers on undead parish (the big ones) drop Titanite Shards as rare drops, but the best spot for Titanite farming is on the Depths, since the slimes have a normal 1/5 rating of dropping Titanite Chunks which can be converted into Shards (after ringing the two bells, a NPC which does that, plus converts excess inventory into souls appears on the firelink shrine).

What does the pendant do? I picked the twin humanities, because it seemed the best and I didn't bother to check up which gift was the best option.

So far nothing, but the mini-guide hints at the fact that it will unlock some story with a NPC later in the game. You can find another Pendant in the game though, but it's easily missable.

Ah ok. Btw, you know that women behind bars in the fire link shrine who can't speak...should I give her my fire keeper soul to upgrade estus flasks?

You should, every Fire Keeper soul you find must be given to a Fire Keeper to enhance your Estus Flasks healing capacities. Also, if you freed Lautrec in the Undead Parish, then Anastacia will be dead after you ring the second bell. You'll get a chance to re-kindle the bonfire by hunting down Lautrec.
