What is wrong with the brotherhood of blood...

[jrubz]

I don't know if this covenant in it's current state could be a worthy successor of the darkwaith covenant. All I need out of it is the curved twinblade by getting 50 rank points...but the only way to rank up is through dueling, and you lose a point everytime you lose, making it near impossible to get to the rewards without spending hours... Why on earth do I only get ranking in this covenant for not doing the very thing to enter it? I can't wait to ditch it after I get the weapon... What are your thoughts on this? Cause I am tired of this covenant.

It's a pvp covenant, you get rewarded for being atleast average in pvp. Seems perfectly fine to me, if you dislike pvp and want the weapons I can see the problem, but there's plenty of other weapons you could use instead.

I don't like the covenant either. I wish we were able to obtain cracked red eye orbs instead of spite tokens. I miss getting invaded by red phantoms and invading lots of people myself. Hell.. I just miss the original Dark Souls in general. However, Dark Souls 2 is still a decent game. Blue covenant is also kind of boring too.

farm the pigs in Majula...they drop cracked red eye orbs.

Mibu, in NG+ you can just buy cracked red eye orbs from the covenant leader for 10k souls, so no need to really duel anymore.

I have complains about a bloodbros ranking system in general. And the ranking for bloodbros is retarded. You will spend hours upon hours upon hours to get a 500 "clean" kills. That, if you will be one of those pugs in havels with hexes all over and Santiers spears. Otherwise... good luck in your vain endeavour.

If you want to rank up, you need to go to the arena. Invasion/Red Soapstones don't count towards covenant progression. Only if you kill a Blue Sentinel while invading you get a granted kill. Could be fixed easily but it seems to be intented.

I could be wrong but don't you also have to have the cov. ring on to rank up?

Fortunately not. It's still tedious - invasions are more fun.

NG++ you can buy most covenant rewards from Wellager.

At least the rewards from the PvP covenants, b.c the game is possible to 100% while offline.

I've spent a good 40 hours doing nothing but dueling and im close to rank 3. It's a covenant for people who enjoy pvp.

[StatelyPuddle]

My only problem is that i love invasions more than dueling in the arena. It is much more fun to invade people, and 10k for 1 orb is just too high, i think.

thing is, part of the joy of the previous coventant was that you were rewarded for hunting your foes, in this game the reward IS the hunting.

This is my exact problem. I just want to be able to invade more without grinding for orbs in the arena.

On NG++ you will be able to buy this twinblade from ghost in drangleic castle
