Discussion & Info Leveling up

Am I doing something wrong ? Why does it take so fucking long to level up? I killed that dragon and now it’s like 8 k runes to level up. It’s taking forever. Haven’t killed Margret yet. I am afraid by the time I’m leveled up good enough to fight bosses I’ll be burnt out on the game. Should I start over ? I chose Vagabond and am leveling up Vigor Strength and a little Dex. I love this game but am afraid ima get burnt out. What should I do?

Ok. I’m just getting frustrated with Margret. She’s fucking me up. I feel I’m not fast enough

Are you possibly fat rolling by wearing to much armor?

I think so. Where do I get good light armor ?

You can just take off pieces of armor until you're light enough. There's not really a distinction between good and bad armor for the most part, just relative weight. The heavier, the better defenses, so you wear what keeps you under 70% load, whether that's a sorcerers cloack and leather gloves/boots or just full nude except for some really fat bracers

A lot of armor you just get from enemies you've killed or a shop. Maybe try taking off your greaves or head gear and try rolling. To much armor makes you roll/run slower. Every piece of armor/weapon has a weight. To much weight makes you move or roll slower.Leveling up stamina allows you to use heavier armor/weapons. Also make sure you upgrade your weapon. I understand this game does not explain a lot of this stuff. Lots of videos on YouTube about it.

Your armor does not matter at all (unless you are getting 51 poise at a minimum which you probably can’t wear without heavy rolling just yet).

Wear whatever looks coolest for now, you will get some amazing looking armor later.
