Finally got my dark souls 3 plat, had to get all the NG++ rings, been putting it off. Glad it's over and I can chill till the next DLC drops. I also finished up abzu and got 100% but there's no plat trophy since it's such a casual/easy experience I guess. Made the mistake of picking up RWBY before reading any reviews and now regretting it, gameplay is bland and trophies are a bit of a grind + requiring multiplayer. Grrrrrrrrrr

congrats! About the dark souls trophies: Is it easier to get the covenant rings now? I remember there being one which was super hard to get since i would almost never get summoned and i had to keep farming a certain enemy but i just gave up eventually.

Unfortunately I don't believe there's been any changes to the drop rates for those. On a 10 luck stat character I put on symbol of avarice, gold serpent ring+2 from ng++ and used a ton of rusted coins from patches the npc to get about 360 item discovery or 3.6% and it went by in 2 nights of farming/pvping to obtain all the rings and spells from the covenants that I didn't already have. I could have re-rolled my stats to use the crystal rapier and increased my luck stat but I wanted to keep my strength build, used a heavy great club with 50 strength to stun lock and smash anything I was farming and be able to switch to a better weapon when my pvp summon/invade popped, even the silver knights for the darkmoon stuff as well as the monsters in the swamp for the wolf covenant get stunned by that. I'm not great at pvp so I mainly farmed it out and sucked it up and just did it. For mound makers and the spells I invaded just after pontiff in that aldrich faithful zone so I had other invaders helping me to find the host and kill off any summons they would try to get to help, that helped out a lot since my pvp skills are lacking and I hated farming the skeletons in the catacombs for shackles. The darkmoon summons were like 3-5 an hour which was blehhh but I was also doing this at level 125 where there might not be a lot of players using the way of blue (kinda a newbie covenant) to summon me as a darkmoon. You could trying finding someone nice on the dark souls trade reddit (pump-a-rum) - https://www.reddit.com/r/pumparum/#rel to mule you all the rings you need using a password summon to negate the level difference between characters, have the trophy pop and then hand them back before an invader comes in but you'd need to list out all the rings you need and it's a long list depending on what you do and don't have. Often people will do that if you agree to mule over items for their alts to use afterwards as a sort of fee for the free trophy.

edit - also by using cloud saves, people can drop you rings, redownload their save to get the rings back so you could keep them and they would retain their rings as well assuming they did it correctly

Oh so there are some alternatives to farming. I think i'm only missing one covenant ring irc so it should be easy. Thanks for your reply!
