66 strainght

[SINKI]

It's called Softcap

26, 27, 40, 60, and 66

26 and 27 are generally for weapons that are used 2h and have low/average strength scaling (these will typically have better dex scaling and be used at [26 or 27/40] [str/dex]).

40 for 1h weapons that have low/average strength scaling (mostly quality weapons again).

60 for 1h weapons that have high strength scaling, also a decent stopping point if you want to save some points by not going to 66.

66 for 2h weapons that have high strength scaling.

You can still level up to Sl99 for each attribute, but after the cap the changes are very very small. That will consume a huge amount of souls and might change your stats for about 1 point.

1 point of dmg? if yes does the same go for inntelegance

The reason why you want to stop lvl str at 66 is cuz you're most likely 2 handing your weapon. And when you 2 hand, your str stat gets multiplied by 1.5. So, if you have 66 str, and 2 hand you effectively have 99 str. You can check yourself, take your str weapon, 1 hand it, and check the dmg numbers. Then 2 hand it and check again, you'll notice it's larger. I hope this helps!

Only Str has the two-handing 1.5x multiplier, which makes sense, you can use more of your strength with two arms than with one, which you can't with faith or dexterity or any other stat.

Int, and all the other stats, do have soft caps similar to Str though. There are a number of guides to soft caps here on Steam and elsewhere that can explain the specifics to you much better than I can off the top of my head. Suffice to say, don't think too hard about it if you're playing casually, they're just points at which the amount of damage you gain with each level decreases significantly.

Strength is the only stat this applies to. There are also soft caps like people are talking about. The hard cap is 99, you literally can't go over 99, it's the cap. A soft cap is when you get diminish results by putting points in a stat. Every stat has different softcaps.

From the top of my head
27/44 vigor
18 21 24 stamina
Idk attunement.
40 60str/dex
50 60 80 faith/int

I'm sure there are more softcaps but these are the ones that matter imo.

what is it for vitality

Correct me if I'm wrong somebody, but Vitality is kind of a special case. Since it only affects your weight, it has no or almost no loss as you increase it. It just gets less useful though, since once you can comfortably wear some of the heaviest equipment there isn't much point is investing more.

If you're interested in all this, why not just look at one of the guides? Several people have laid all of this information out much more clearly and thoroughly than people in a random forum thread are likely to.

Like Cheshire said, I don't think it works like the other stats. You lvl as much vitality as you need, that's it.
