Trading Thread

Since no one else had started one, and I know how beneficial the trading thread was in Demon's Souls, I figured I'd make one.

Here's a form to make trading easier:

PSN ID:
Desired item(s):
Offered item(s):
Soul Level:
Covenant:
Desired meeting location (if applicable):
Desired meeting time (if applicable):
Best method of contact (i.e. visitor message):

-Edit-

Here is a possible solution for those having trouble meeting up to trade (also works for co-op). Thanks to frankthetoad for posting this.

Co-op Fix?

-Disclaimer-
This is not a 100% guaranteed fix at this time.

Does this even work? I thought the servers were randomized, based on location, play style, etc.

There are a few threads discussing how to meet, though I cannot give specific links :P

More importantly, besides the extreme difficulty in finding the person you actually want to, have we confirmed that these trophies requiring all rare weapons/miracles/spell/pyromancies/upgrades are sufficient enough to just have held at one point in the game, or do you have to have every single one in your inventory at the same time?

Nothing has been confirmed at this point in time, but if we were to base any assumptions off of Demon's Souls, then you would not need to hold everything at the same time. (Rings, Spells, etc). I guess we won't know for sure until someone tries it. At the very least trading for ores is a lot better than having to farm them all if you have something worth trading.

I couldn't agree more, and hope it's true, but something tells me they've made it more difficult this time. They seem to have learned the tricks we all pulled in Demon's Souls and have corrected them. I haven't tried the PS Quit method in this game, but have heard it does not work like it did in Demon's.

Can you even trade stuff anymore in this game?

[Bounty V]

I'm pretty sure you can. Other Dark Souls fansites have whole sections for trading. (Though I've never done it myself)

The servers are peer to peer so meeting up with friends is not gonna happen.

Good thing half the people you'll trade with aren't 'friends' then

In all honesty peer to peer won't ruin it, otherwise there would not be a co-op thread no?
