you'll need to gift 15 scales to the cov. to get back to rank 2 then another 50 to get to rank 3.
farming scales sucks and not many players want to summon dragons for PVP, it's the hardest part about following the path of the dragon.
when i start a new dragon play-through, the first thing i do is run down to the everlasting dragon and join the cov. and always leave a dragon remnant in any area i'm currently exploring. i can sometimes earn 10-15 scales before leaving the parish. other times, i don't get summoned at all. for some reason, i have found that i get summoned more frequently at low levels in the burg, parish and darkroot than i do in at mid level in anor londo and beyond.
i also never gift scales to the cov until after i have gotten everything i want from the other covenants *cough-shortcut-cough* that way i don't have to worry about loosing all those precious scales.
