The only useful reward is the obscuring ring. Smh. At least it's the easiest to obtain.

So it seems the maximum level you want to be if you're anticipating a SL 120 pvp meta and want to have fun in all the different Convenants is SL 132. The biggest limiting factor on that level is territory invasion covenants (Watchdogs, Aldrich Faithful) with a 1.1*(Host Level) formula as the maximum level possible. Invasions have a 0.9*(Invader Level) formula, but you could technically be SL 133 to invade a 120 player, but that puts you out of the territory invasion sweet spot. Sorry if it seems silly to do the math but this actually helps a fair bit for caster-melee builds (specifically my dex-int build) since we need to hit 60 in int or faith to really get some damage out of our spells but still have to points in vitality-endurance-attunement area.

You people don't get it at all!!! Its not about farming or trading!!! Its about getting you *** online and collecting the covenant reward items! If you can't do that then you simply DON'T deserve the trophies! PSN: wiggedy wack

Can anyone explain to me the reasoning behind covenants that exclusively invade in one place? For example, Aldrich Faithful/Watchdogs of Farron. It only makes the areas covered to be impassable by someone playing on the meta level. And Farron Swamp is not exactly forgiving with the Ghru and the constant poison to begin with, the route to Anor Londo is practically impossible due to being chaininvaded (it happened to me that I had 5 invasions one after the other, the only way I survived because I played with a fucking legend. Whoever you are, random sunbro who'se summon sign I found after the Pontiffs bossroom, thank you) and having to deal with the silver knights too. Well, technically I didn't survive, because at the 6.th I simply jumped off a ledge but you get my point. So what is the covenants purpose other than making an area suck almost as much balls as Sens Fortress of Bullshit?

Anyone looking to go for platinum with me? I need to get the sunlight medals, the swordgrass for the wolf ring, the vertebrate shackles for warmth, the darkmoon ring and darkmoon blade and the obscuring ring. Invading each other for the items might do the trick in a couple of hours.

So I've farmed two covenants to Rank 2 in about eight hours total using the following method. I would put on all of the farming gear + 99 luck, but not use any coins. Then I would alternate between hard resets via coiled sword fragment, and soft resets via resting at the bonfire. Each time I finished a run, if I got a drop during that run or the one before it, I would rest at a bonfire, otherwise I would use the coiled sword fragment. So far I've gotten about one drop or more every ~3-4 runs with the exception of one stretch where I had a 20-minute dry spell. This seems to be a great way to farm covenant items from their respective enemies without having to try to rely on getting summoned.

Can someone trade me the wolf ring and the Darkmoon ring so the achievement pops, then I'll trade back. My internet is awful... PvP is ridiculous to try and do.

I find covenant item rewards more often without any but the base and luck. Seems like it would stop it from spitting out all the common drops. Then again this prob wrong since you can't get a lot of drops from some enemies. Red eye lothric by dancer gave me a full set armor, sword, and 2x embers once with 315 id

Is the drop rate of covenant items affected by whether you are on a ng+ or higher?

Lots of missed oppertunities for covenants in genral IMO. Why aren't there more items to get? Wh not get consumables/rare times every 5 items that are given in? After you've collected all the items from the covenants there is no good reason to stay with a covenant... except for the covenant mechanics of course... : /

Only PvP in different randoms style. If You want some special item, You MUST fight with other players. Helping them is not important for FromSoftare. Big, big disappointment.

If you guys think any of theses covenants is hard to rank up, just try Brotherhood of Blood in Dark Souls 2. See you in 2717 when you finally reached rank 1 >:D

I farmed for all the cov items. It seemed to me I was more likely to get a cov item drop if I restarted the app. I would farm for an item for one cov. Once I got the drop, I would farm a second get the drop. If I tried the third it would take forever. So, restarted after two finds and then back to farming. This could be just my imagination. But I was farming for each with out a restart and it was taking forever. Drops for Proof of Concord Kept were sparse until I started restarting. I have the gold cov ring +3, symbol of averace and the crystal sages rapier. I would pop a coin before each farm. All in all the process was annoying, but it did seem faster. Good luck to all the farmers out there."

So for offline covenant work (budgeting sux), it seems the easiest covenant "materials" to collect are the Human Dregs, simply because the enemy you have to farm, the blue-robed Deacons outside Aldrich's arena, only ever drop four different items: the Deacon robe, Deacon skirt, Deep Gems, and of course the Human Dregs. Other enemies, like the Lothric Knights or the Silver Knights, are more likely to drop weapons, armor, or titanite, which seems to clog up your chances of obtaining the covenant materials. It took me FOUR DAYS to finally collect 30 Sunlight Medals, just by farming the single Lothric Knight outside the Lothric Castle bonfire. As for Human Dregs, it took me only about thirty minutes to collect 10 and achieve Rank 1 in Aldrich Faithful.
As it happens, increasing your Luck does not increase your chances of finding rare items, but simply increases the rate that an enemy drops an item whatsoever. I've found that wearing the Symbol of Avarice, no matter what level of Luck you're at, will typically net at least one dropped item from most enemies, and wearing the Golden Covetous Serpent Ring is sort of overkill, except perhaps in the case of the Ghru or the Grave Wardens, considering how infrequently they drop anything at all. At least for the Knight enemies, I just stuck to wearing the Silver Covetous Serpent Ring to make the time and effort a little more worthwhile. They would still drop their covenant materials at about the same rate--I'd say one material every forty-five minutes.
For Rosaria's Fingers, it might be more worthwhile just to carry over to NG+ and keep picking up the free Pale Tongues with every playthrough (I think there are 5??? 2 in Cathedral of the Deep, 1 off of Hasel, 1 off of Leonhard, and I think another off the Darkwraith in the High Wall of Lothric? Maybe I'm wrong and just got lucky once or twice). Unless of course you feel like doing a little skill swapping or rebirthing, which I guess is understandable. And for Mound Makers... Have fun with those skeletons, I guess. Otherwise, there's only one definite Vertebra Shackle every playthrough.
All this work kinda makes me wish they would have incorporated something like the Chalice Dungeons from Bloodborne with more of a guaranteed method of finding specific items... It sucks fighting the same damn-ass enemies for hours, just because you want every spell and every weapon to satisfy your dumb completionist ass.

Why does the covenant sigil/whatever it's called sometimes pulse with a white glow?

The PvP fighting in this game is woeful, The match making (if there is any....) is non-existent. I was in the Watchdogs covenant, but having kept being put into invasions against people that are CLEARLY 2+ clears of the game and taking 8-900 damage in single hits made me just remove it. I'd be happy for this invasion stuff IF it was fair and balanced against who you fight. It is 100% not.
Is there a way to actually be put into invasions against people of similar level at all? because if there was a way, i'd be happy for that but this current cesspool is NOT balanced at all.

Hey guys, SL 170 here and farming is taking waaayy too long. If anyone's around my level we could boost eachother for pvp items. Psn: DemonicThresher
