upgrading pyromancy flame is a horrible idea
the whole point in going to depths and then blightown is to get powerwithin, and the more upgraded your flame is the faster it will kill you, meaning that you should use un-upgraded flame to have more time
My goto farm was to pvp (you get souls based on the level of the person you kill). You can also kill mobs like the lightning dragons (easy mobs with lots of soul drops and close to bonfire).
To farm from the bridge you should pop up to agro it, then when it breathes fire run back down, it will kill all the mobs on the bridge, then you sit at the bonfire and reset, and do it again. It's a very quick way to farm.
Oh.. Ok so i must not upgrade it, huh good thing i only upgraded it to +2
Thats what i said it only gives me 300 no 500... I think its broken, anywho do u know other technique in farming souls?
It's 300+ for free every 30 seconds so I think it's ok if you don't want to pvp or farm mobs...
I'm not sure how many times you tried but sometimes a mob gets stuck on the side and doesn't die, just keep doing it over and over again, and you will get souls pretty fast.
Level it if you want, he's talking about a single pyromancy not them all in general. If you want to toss fire everywhere level it, if you want to rely on power within for a temp buff that eats your health then don't.
Or level it to +10, ascend it & get another normal pyroflame. Up to you, it's your character and you've gotta build it how you want it to play.
