Best way to level up fast?

[CludzyMasta {Killa$inn}]

So I am level 244, and I notice that I can now only level up ONCE per defeating the giant lord wearing soul boosting gear. The souls left over i prefer to spend incase i die trying it again.

Is there a better soul farming strategy in the game at all? Getting to 838 or whatever the maximum is will be too boring this way..

Why do you even want to get to 838?

PvP. I think that by that SL, I was gaining about 100k for every invader killed. It's much more fun. After a while, and without noticing, I would gather 1 or 2M souls.

Why? Well I've wanted to try Mundane, but that seems like it would work best when all is level 99?

Ooo do you get more souls for killing invaders?? PvP summons are variable, some give me like 40k others give me 7k....

Actualy 30 in everything is the breakpoint for mundane scaling.

I'm not sure if killing players that invade you gives you more souls than killing players that you summon. But you can lure invaders: become a sinner, spam tokens of spite, dried fingers, use the delicate string. Blue invaders will keep coming.

Higher SL players will give you more souls. I remember that I wasn't even trying to farm souls, I was just having fun and without trying I would gather a lot of souls.

True, but past SM 15 Mil, the extra 25% scaling from 30 to 99 everything is quite something. Never tried Mundane or any other infusion for that matter, regardless of how scaling tapers off at higher levels, out of concept, I cannot bring myself to use the Agape ring.

Everyone should just aim to get to SM 15 mil..

That's how I want the game to feel like again...

You could always try hosting fight clubs and getting other people to kill themselves for you. Just PvP'ing and your method will get you a long way though, before I stopped I was over level 400, it isn't too hard it just takes some time.

Im last tier Sm and i always find people to pvp, most of the time I get millions of souls before i decide to level up. I recommend to do pvp if you want souls because you will be able to improve you combat and see how to use different weapons
