Summoning Pool activation

[0x41414141]

What does the activation (touching the statue) actually do? If we have one item to summon and one item to be summoned, I don't see how interacting with the statue is relevant.

Also, do I need to touch the statue every life I have or does it carry over between deaths?

idk, I just know that you don't have to touch it every life.

There are 4 items to be summoned not one. Gold finger, red finger, golden small effigy and red small effigy. With effigy you select near/far and your sign appears to everyone within your level bracket at these statues. Only those you activated. And you need to not have a multiplayer password set as there are rather small odds that others are using the same password.

Touching them resets when you start new game plus

touching the pools before bosses simply means you are able to be summoned from said locations to help others when you drop your own summon sign.
when you use your furcalling in youre own game you can also see other players summon signs at these locations aswell.

they carry over per NG you play. every NG you'll need to find them again.

Ok, I think I get it. What does near/far mean? I assume near only summons you next to the statue you are currently near to and far summons you to any one of the statues you have previously interacted with?

There are two options. One works for the nearest one(you can literally put a sign with a finger and it's quite the same), the other works for all the statues, but there are rather small chances someone summons you for Margit when you are around lvl 100.

Ok. Thanks everyone.
