Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Darkwraith you have to keep the Lordvessel in your inventory and fight 4 kings by killing Ingwald for the key. You will be able to buy cracked red eye orbs (and later get a normal one that in infinite use) to invade people around your level or above. You get some armor and a weapon as well as a spell that can drain humanity. People can indict you if the feel like it give you sin which as I understand isn't removed by wiping it.

Forest Hunters you join by talking to the cat in the forest and she gives you a ring. When you equip it you can automatically be summoned into the forest from anywhere to fight someone a higher level than you. Darkwraths can invade the forest as well and you can damage each other so may or may not work together. Since you always invade in the same area people will often camp there with a summoned player for invaders so it is good if you want to practice 2v1 or sometimes 2v2. You get a ring of fog from the cat and can buy stuff from Shiva in blighttown, you can also kill his bodyguard for the ring that lets you do flips but this betrays the covenent and Shiva will attack as well. You can rejoin after killing them after wiping you sin, the cat doesn't give a *** (Or shiva too if you let him kill you instead of killing him). People can indict you from this as well.

Darkmoon blades get a blue eye orb that lets them invade anyone around their level or lower who have sin built, people without it can't be invaded. To join them you get a ring from the catacombs and equipping it makes a wall disappear reached from the elevator in Anor Londo when you adjust it's position. You need to stop infrount of the fog gate not enter it. Joining gives you another ring that works the same as the hunter one but instead will summon you into peoples Dark Anor Londo where things are similar to the forest with people calling friends + sometimes Dark Wraiths. You can also invade any other area using the blue eye orb. After leveling up in it you learn a buff spell that is quite powerful but needs 30 faith to use and get the strongest talisman at higher faiths (at 30 the straw one is still stronger). If you enter the fog gate there is an additional boss fight that has some nice drops but the firekeeper in anor londo becomes hostile as well and it goes out.
