IMPROMPTU????
SPELUNK????

Burial Blade/Blade of Mercy
Any good on a 50/25 Skl/Str build compared to a Skl/Arc build? How much AR am I losing? Should I use tempering gems or nourishing?

Spelunk.

So I'm doing a blt build and was wondering if repeating pistol is worth it over Evelyn? Does it do a lot now dmg? I'm only planning on using one because I don't feel like hardswapping guns and the second slot is for church cannon.
Can come for either in 30min-1h.

Arc scaling on BoM is shit, just get 50 Skl and you'll be fine with temperings.

It does more damage per attack but evelyn does more damage per bullet

Ok
You ok with waiting?

I guessed that, is it worth using 2 bullets for that though? I think I'd rather not because of saving bullets for the cannon.
You guys can go on if you get another one though. It looks like I'll be closer to 1h than 30min.

Oh ok
Booting up to host spelunk

I'm fine.

Hey buddy
Glyph is 8xiz7y9i, FRC Lower Loran
Password is beast

I'm ready for a spelunk lads.
How goes the booting up?
If I'm taking someone's spot tell me

for some reason I can't beat the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst anymore.

I used to beat him quite easily back in the day but I just can't keep up with his astronomical damage and speed.

What is the best way to kill this cunt? Going with Large Silver Sword right now.

Had to take doggo out
See Got room for 2 rn

poison knives and charged R2 on stairs

Coming!

cheesing?

Got Jordan
Room for 1 more

I mean, you could always fight him with 10 vit and no weapon, but I don't really see the reason to make the fight more difficult than it is

I'm ringing but I'm not sure if anyone else is. Post when full.

You ringing small right?
I'm at lamp beckoning

has anyone ever found a use for old hunter bone?
shit seems so fucking useless

Burial blade also have shitty damage in arc, it's dex weapon.

I heard it's good for PVP because it shortens the time between quicksteps

Long weapon and a lot of patience. Beastcutter works great. Hit him once with longest-reaching attack, retreat until you recover full stamina, repeat.

you guys are full right?

Yep, on Layer 2 now.

ringin on l2 now.

Yes, it scales on Str too, though, so leveling it up to 25 is worth it.

Layer 1 report!

LAYER 2
Ye
Come invade us

True, but the AR difference between 25str and 25 arc with 50 skill is 2.
So it doesn't really matter.

come and invade us. its more fun that way.

/bbg/ pls never stop layer reports, they're so comfy

I'm still ringing but I've become intoxicated since I promised myself 5shots per death.

Ok, I'm here but I see you guys are already going on later 2(3?). I'll do some shit on my me character and host one myself when you're done, I guess. Unless we have more people willing now?

So I got this thing from my first amy kill today and it's supposed to be for my Lost Logarius wheel.
The bloodborne-wiki suggests the same thing, but with arc flat instead of phys flat. Since the Logarius wheel will always have phys flat, would it actually matter if I got another arc flat now?

2 still
I died to Keeper kek
Might call impromptu afterwards or join another spelunk

layer 2 just kill ing the boss now.

I won't be invading then. Will host one when you're done. Or we can impropthu too.

host another

ringing on layer 3 in 1min

All right, rolling for type in advance.

LAYER 3

Rolling even though I won't make it to the spelunk

Can someone explain spelunking to me? When the host finishes a layer, wouldn't the guests have to re-clear the layer solo before rejoining on the next layer? That would be at least a few minutes overhead between layers then, but what if someone drops the ball and gets stuck?

was planning on invading the others but I'll join this one instead if there's space

You can do that if the layer is small and the lever easily accessible, but people usually just SRRC in.

Not even with 99 Arc the Flamesprayer is worth it.

JORDAN AND NATALYA THIS DUNGEON HAD THE EXACT SAME LAYOUT AS THE ONE I DID LAST NIGHT. EXCEPT THE BEPIS IN L2 WAS REPLACED BY A MADMAN GUARDING A CHEST. THANKS MIYAZAKI.

Rosmarinus

then you wait or the first summon blanks out and goes back to help
fuck off, people who srrc are assholes. if it is a difficult chalice where people are dying a few times a layer then srrc assholes waste about 20 minutes of everyone's time

In my experience passworded SRRC is a steaming pile of shit though. I think I can count the number of times I've gotten it to work on one hand.

Someone willing to soothe my crippling loneliness, while farming for Radial, Watcher Gems?
Just give a (You) and i'll start ringing.

Glyph: pwmf22gu
Pass: same'old

omw

>killed by literal nothing

NEXT BOSS IS PTHU DESCENDANT NAT

It was a running R2 from my letter
A mile away
But a running r2 nonetheless

Seems i got many replies so I'll start beckoning even though the other spelunk is still going.
Isz
2zs4s3bw, pass is nocucks.

well there goes my internet, sorry james

i MEANT ELDER. because this dungeon had been ran the previous night I remembered it

What kind of Internet do you have that SRRC never works? I'm not on the best plan myself, but it never usually takes much longer to connect than it would standing by the lamp, only by a few minutes. I haven't had enough experiences of egregious wait times to sour me on the process, I use it a lot.

I was talking about the dead pthu that one shotted me.

did you lose it completely or was it mine fucking up?

Ringing.

FULL.

not him but lets say 3 mins extra per death, so if you die once per layer and the bosses take two tries then you've wasted 15 minutes of the hosts time
i got session lost, cant seem to get you again. I've actually just thought of a way to improve this build so I'll stop farming for now in case I need to make a new one

alright then

Fucking ebin Miyazaki
Thanks for coming along Jordan and Hi***
And thanks for invading us Chloe!
Got this gem from a cuck

Dat feel when dumb bitch allows to kill herself in Oedon Tomb and you are too lazy to start again.

Hi** = Hibiko

I'm trying to invade you guys but I keep getting stupid redditors in full Cainhurst with """Ludwig's""" and buffs
They're ez but still
I know. It's intentional

>I know. It's intentional
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Thanks for hosting Natalya. The dungoen had a neat layout, especially with all those bonus areas.

I wish to spelunk, any running at the moment or are they finished? I'll gladly host one

Isz 1 report
>No prelamp
>got bastaman and chloe
>lots of backstepping but not to autistic point
>Hi**** hiding next to lever with his succy buddy
>both get btfo
>some sawspear bitch hiding in one of rooms
>trap teleports us to bell maiden and 2 chests with ritual blood(!) in it, maiden got gassed
>another treasure in preboss is a ritual blood as well
>boss were watchers, easily taken care of
To layer 2.

even though my invasion lasted 8 seconds, got a nice cold abyssal at the end of it

If I want to make the most Jack-of-all-trades build possible, is this about the best I can do? No blt, kosfist or waifu cannon but I get pretty much everything else.

>not even using internet explorer
GIT GUD

Please tell me how you manage to suppress the urge to delete your finished character and do it over once you find out its character name is censored. I need to know.

You don't
JUST DO IT
DO IT NOW
And ask thread to carry your ass

I'll tag along

>cheap jaw surgery

>Sarah's twitch

>SRRC picked up your chalice
