Method soul-farming:18

---

Posted by
Starting Archstone	4-4 Storm King Archstone
Required Equipment/Spells/Miracles	Stormruler Ring of Avarice Soul Form (Stormruler with both hands adds 25% boost in souls must be in soul form for the effect) (Optional Spell: Thirst)
Method	If you're not in NG+ you can use the Storm Ruler combined with Soul Thirst to yield approximately 32k souls per 00:01:30. Simply load to the Storm King archstone, cast Soul Thirst immediately, then switch to 2h on your sword. Step out to the left and move in a small counter-clockwise circle until about a second after the first sound of their launch. Hit R3, press R1 and score between 1-8 kills. After you launch your attack, immediately begin your rotation again. It should take you less than 30s to kill every last Storm Beast, yielding between 30k and 35k (depending on which ones counted as ambush kills). Afterward, use the archestone to return to the Nexus and then return back. This is actually faster than suiciding, as it lets you start at the Storm king archstone again.

This actually is a great method I just discovered and was going to post but since someone already posted it there is no need for me to post it again. Everyone offers methods for people with the soulsucker. Hasn't it ever occured to anyone that some people may not have this spell but still need to farm souls? Don't get me wrong I greatly appreciate every single contribution but the PBWT starting from 4-3 and tracking back method is posted with little variations three times already. This method is great for people who want to play pure physical characters and first timers.
By the way, if you don't mind a slight detour after killing all the Mantas, you can go for the geckos there to collect Cloudstones.

The Geckos drop Darkmoonstones.

unless I'm missing something holding the Stormruler with 2 hands gave me no more souls than holding it with one, both ways gave me 2011 each

I've tried it both ways , and found that while the world tendency is pure white , I get an extra 25% by holding it 2 handed . When you have black WT however , it makes no difference .

This is similar to the one I use, the only difference being I use a Sticky Compound Long Bow+5 and hide in the ruins behind the Archstone. It's quick, easy and safe. :D Ring of Avarice helps, too.

I Agree CnPTrN

I've been complaing about not being able to find almost the best farming technique. I am a good person… im not going to wreck my character with black soul and world tendency. I'll try the two-handed storm ruler trick..Talk 2 u guys l8r.

I was running a Blueblood swordsman, and got hit by a 3x soulsucker combo (twice) by False King while tanking as a Blue Phantom. Lost points from magic and faith (and luck) to the point where I needed 4 levels at 22K+ just to use the only good weapon I had; would have been several hours of grinding. This got me the 4 lvls in under 15 minutes. Bravo. :D
