Now that I'm approaching 200 the best way to level up is PVP with red stones and killing black/blue phantoms, so I'm wondering if you have to re-enter the world to be invaded by the same player? I've always done this since I noticed I got better results if I did, and I can't think of a time I was invaded by the same player twice in one game. Has anyone confirmed either way?
Yes. Any one player cannot invade your world twice per your visit. you have to leave and come back to be invaded by the same person more than once.
With red eye stones, you can keep summoning the same person over and over, so long as they are within your summoning range
Bah, no wonder I kept meeting the same guy like 7-8 times already. Upon killing like 2-3 invaders, I went back to nexus and level up my soul before waiting in 4-1 for the invader.
That's not the best way to get souls at that level because farming will always be more rewarding in terms of amount of souls.
By personal experience, It is possible to invade a players game twice as long as they keep using ephemereals and you keep dying in the nexus :)
I felt bad, but the blue phantoms he had with them were so asking for it by using nooby scraping spears on me, I ended up giving him half of my ephemereal stones to help him out
you can farm 100K+ every 2-3 minutes?
I rarely have a fight vs invader last longer than 5 minutes (the red stones are usually a lot longer since its a better opponent, but a lot more rewarding too), and 9 times outta 10 they get determined and re-invade anywhere from 5 to 30 times. I had a single player take me from 167-181 the other night, once I realized he was an easy kill I just popped on the ring of avarice and let the good times roll =D
On a side note I never use blue phantoms and I always give ample buff time, so there's always plenty of fun to be had.
By very nature pvp is more rewarding the higher your level because the souls gained from pve is static while the souls gained from pvp scales based on your opponent's level, so I'm not sure where the farming logic came from.
normaly you do not win all your pvp fights so pve farming is at least more predictable
I win probably 95% of the times I'm invaded, and 70% of the red stone fights. Predictable enough at least.
Vice versa if I'm the person dropping a red stone its a much lower percent since I'm usually fighting 3v1, but then when I do win its a lot higher gain too so it still pays off.
actually I can confirm that a black phantom can invade your world twice in a row without you having to do anything. I saw this as a blue phantom. We killed a BP and he came back 5 min later. Killed him again, too!! :)
