Your first branch will be either on Sinner's or Haverst Valley then. No Man's Wharf is a easy area, especially if you have a Pharros Lockstone to use the contraption in the middle of the area to lighten up the majority of the place. It won't take you anywhere new afterwards, but it's a good place to farm souls at least. 

Be mindful of the oil throwing enemies there though. If you're reliant on Fire spells, you'll set yourself on fire. Also most enemy archers use Fire arrows there too to set you on fire if you've got oil on yourself. 

Caster builds will have a bit more difficulty on Gargoyles then. Keep always away from them and bring lots of casts. You're gonna fight through 6 gargoyles so you'll need most of the spells available to you. If that's still not enough, I guess co-op it's the only way to go. Try to bring someone that's melee oriented, because you'll need a tank more than anything.

I realize I'm still only at the start of the game, which is awesome :)

No pyromancy glove yet, I just levelled enough to be able to use lightning spear. I've got socerer's staff+5 with 15 great soul arrows, 60 regular ones (not very effective against bosses). Priest talisman +1, 11 lightning spears and 4 lightning storms (not all that useful either). Fire sword +2 and straight sword +2. Int faith and atn are all high (22,22,25), vigor, end, vit are lacking. Well all the other stats are 12 or lower. I had expected to find better spells by now, but so far it seems I've wasted souls upgrading int. And I really need to find some more tritanite, small and large. Seems very rare so far. I wasted it on a dagger and a robe I no longer use :/

I just used my 3rd Pharros lock stone in the bastille, guess I'll find one again for the wharf. Btw is there a place to unload all the junk I don't need?
