Haven't sunk much time into weapons or armor reinforcement because up until now I have been fine with my Drake sword and whatever armor suits the situation. However, at level 40 and just starting Sen's Fortress and Undead Asylum 2, I seem to have hit a wall. I was told yesterday that my Drake sword is now basically useless, and to ditch it for upgraded weapons. Here's what I don't get:
My drake sword is at 200 pwr and my closest thing to that is at like 145, weighs me down, and is swung at like 3 secs per swing. I'll have to upgrade the **** out of ONLY ONE (because I can't afford to spend souls on the whole arsenal) weapon for it even to approach the Drake's 200 pwr. So what gives? I gave Andrei a couple of Embers but he hasn't mentioned them again, and I don't know what to sink souls into. I really am not getting this system. HELP PLEASE...
