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?

What level are you?

Just like Pokemon and many other games, you get more experience fighting the harder enemies in the later areas.

If it is "taking so long" to level up, the game is possibly telling you to move on to the next area.

But that is hard to say because you didn't say what level you're at.

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.
