Notes from author
Change it up with reduced health and endurance to get the faith and attunement for either lightning spear or iron flesh. Avelyn is also ok. Changing the armor pieces is ok as long as they match the dull gold color. Other weapons allowed are: Dragon slayer spear, giants halberd, giant blacksmith hammer. If you want to look cool during a fight, consumer a boss soul for the golden effect. Red tearstone ring and replenishment can look cool too. Green moss is recommended if you want to actually win. Don't put on any other type of gold coloring because it looks like shit. Try to only use the GLGS, because it's far classier than all the other weapons. Joining the sunlight warrior covenant is good if you want maximum bling.
Tl:dr more gold is good, but only DULL gold.
