Which equip is good for soul grinding?
When grinding for souls, I wear:
Helm: Warlock Mask (2.5% + 2 INT)
Chest: Nahr Alma Robes (10%)
Gloves: Jester's Gloves (10%)
Leggings: Tseldora Trousers (5%)
Ring: Coventous Silver Serpent Ring +2 (30%)

When I looked up the Tseldora set on the wiki, the effects are:
Helm: 2.5%
Chest: 5%
Gloves: 10%
Leggings: 5%
The bonuses are multiplicative if multiple armor pieces are worn.

Does my equipment have the multiplicative bonuses when I wear them or does that apply to all soul-increasing equipment? Should I keep wearing my personal set or the full Tseldora Set? Note that I don't give a rat king's ass about the equipment's weight and defense stats when I'm soul grinding.

Don't soul grind, once you start getting invaded by lv838 guys you will regret it.

It is ok to do, but only soul grind if you're doing Giant Lord. It's the most efficient way.

Don't care, I already suck at PvP. So which is better: tseldora set or my personal set?

I'm not sure. I'd try testing on a boss using ascetic. This could be useful to the community. Shouldn't be that hard.

You only have to try it one time with each set to see which number is bigger. This is a pretty straightforward statistical analysis!

Its not about sucking, when you get to that high level you can't call in someone to help you as very few people pve at that point and you will constantly be harrassed by overleveled players that most likely cheat as well. If you want to play the game at such a high level is better to go offline and just never even try interacting with other players.

after soul memory stops working you're gonna get invaded by nothing but trolls who has beaten the game anyways... They don't feel like playing the game as is anymore and just focus purely on pvp.

I'm just gonna level to the point where i can power stance 2 smelter hammers, 10 attunement slots, and move a lot faster.

I am up to level 450 and still get invaded regularly and also get a lot of blue sentinal help. The blues must invade up or something because when I was in that cov I never got summoned when I wore the ring. I use the Warlock and tseldora set with the serpent ring and get around 484k per giant lord. I wanted to get to all 50s stats for a mundane build.

huh. I get +500k with my set, and i'm around lvl 414.

Yep went and checked only 484k with +2 Ring, Warlock Mask and Tseldora set not sure what the difference is but my armour is not upgraded if that makes a difference?

Went and got Alma Hood and chest piece and tried again with jesters gloves and tseldora trousers. This time got 507k just for the Giant. So yes they give more souls than Tseldora/Warlock mix. I timed the run and took me 3.25 from burn to giant to bonfire return from picking up twinkling titanite. Thats only casting once between swings so could bring it down a bit more. Used Soul Spears and Unleash Magic.
