Bleh, I just spent some dragon scales upgrading priscilla's dagger. I really like daggers and this one has the best dex scaling but, sadly the worst critical of the group (which is what I like most about daggers). Bleh....can't win. I liked daggers a lot more in Demon's Souls :(

It you're really that much into crits, try the Bandit's Dagger. It has the best critical of every weapon in the game (You can do crits of over 2K with a Hornet Ring equipped)

Yeah that's what I'm using now I like the crits a lot, I just with it had better scaling.  Hornet's Ring?  Hrm, I'll have to look into it.

Well, patch 1.04 is supposed to adress the scaling issues with the grand majority of weapons, so who knows, maybe it'll get a better scaling with Dex. Also, if you upgrade the Bandit's Knife via it's normal route (instead of any prefix route), you can also use Crystal Magic Weapon with it, giving it even higher attack and much higher critical damage at +15.

@JGarret - The Butterfly soul has two uses, for a shield and a spear. If you're going for the trophies, you'll need to craft both. 

Divine weapons scale with Faith, and they're also required to defeat the skeletons in the graveyard permanently (any other weapon and they recover after a few seconds). The corpse won't drop anything else as you can't destroy it.
