When should I use humanity?

[Neo Typhoon Alpha]

Title. Not sure if I should stay being dead or become human.

[dtito2]

the humanities have several effects on DS

10 humanities = 200 discovery points (the equivalent of wearing the golden snake ring)

99 humanities = an average of 200 to 300 physical and magical defense points

using humanity and reversing the human effect on the character, allows you to play cooperatively with other players (online) (PvP)

the humanities can be used to increase the level of the bonfire (10, 15 y 20 Estus)

NOTE: 15 and 20 Estus is only possible after defeating the first boss of the catacombs

please elaborate

A bit too late but I recommend using 2 humanities for every bonfire - 1 for becoming human and another for kindling it, so you allways have 10 estus flasks at hand.

With the Rite of Kindling you get by killing Pinwheel down on the catacombs you can kindle twice to have 15 estus. It's very useful for new players and you should be getting plenty of humanity to spare.

There are some invading NPC's that only appear when you're human, some have interesting drops, some are just there... Also if you're struggling with a boss, become human and use the white sign near the boss door to summon an NPC for help, or just message me and I can go there to help you :) I kinda need it for a covenant so its win/win for both of us.
