Yeah I definitely over leveled here. I didn't know you could just home bone out of the soul of cinder fight so I beat the entire game first and that made me level 120(I did grind a bit) so that's 50 levels above the average. With this playthrough I killed dancer because I forgot dancer was optional when you first are at lothric, and got an early +10 too so I was decimating most bosses.

I'm interested in rec lvls for dlc areas too. Just finished the painted world first playthrough. Friede defeated solo at sl 104. Anything less would have been difficult tho I do have some inefficiencies in my point distribution. Started as herald to chase some sort of dex/faith style build ya know... I felt like soft caps in end and Vigor were almost necessary. Unless you play darksouls like a god of course.

I must have done something wrong then, since i got to Irithyll at SL52 and a +7 weapon, having killed the Dancer early and farmed large shards/chunks by the Greatlance lothric lancer

I don't get why people have to force a low level especially if you aren't playing online. I play pve and i like to get some supplement spells and stuff so who cares if my attunment is 18 just so i can have spook and hidden body and a buff. Then i want some luck to get some items, and some vitality so i dont have to wear crown headpiece all game. who cares if you got 30 vitality and 30 luck, just play your game its pve, everyone is a try hard in dark souls, let them fight online.

This chart feels like way too low... I have to actively try not to overlevel with souls in my inventory and even then I'm 20 levels ahead of the curve

So here we have the recommended level and upgrade ranges. But what are your recommendations as to which areas are fun to invade in? I'm asking fellow invaders here.
For example if you try invading in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley you'll have a huge area where it's often impossible to find the host.
For farming covenant items I recommend the first bonfire after demon prince. You'll often invade into an area where the host has just died, because apparently a lot of people die to the orange archers.

I'm pretty new to dark souls 3, and the soulsborne genre as a whole. So far my friend who has over 300 hours on ds3 has carried me through my first playthrough. At the moment I am sl 78 and am ready to start a ng+. I feel like although my sl does seem a little low I do need to work on my skill at understanding my enemies and how to fight them. After looking at the comments here I am realising just how toxic people are and how oblivious they are at realising their own mistakes. Not trying to be toxic, just saying my opinion.

Doing my first solid play through over this summer, and I regret farming (easy to do esp on Farron watchdogs) bc I was too high lvled to do a lot of stuff and missed my opportunity to do Farron covenant. My suggestion for anyone as noob as me is to do covenant stuff ASAP bc it’s a good time. Later game don’t worry, you can always put on Aldrich faithful for a fight, and if ur +70 SL people on NG+ might be able to spawn for bosses. But most bosses are harder w/ too many guests and the NPC helpers aren’t ****. Oh yeah, take those Pilgrim levels early before he dies and you seal off ur FTH build from half the dark miracles lol
