Notes from author

This build is meant for people who are new to the game, or otherwise just forgot aspects of the game. I've decided on a Quality build to allow for a very high-stability shield (Havel's Greatshield) along with Dexterity weapons. This allows one to use the Blacksteel Katana, which is a very good weapon. Alternatively, one can use spears for a more defensive playstyle. The hotbar is set for what a new player should use. Green Blossoms for Stamina recovery, Dark Pine Resin (most enemies have low-average Dark resistance), Lifegems for bosses, Poison Moss to cure Poison (NOT TOXIC), and Estus Flask for normal recovery.
