List of Area Levels for Invading

I am looking for a list of the average levels for certain areas for the purpose of invading.

All I really know now is:

Forest: 30+
Anor Londo: 40-60
Oolacile Township: Around 100

Any more info or if someone can link me to a good page that explains area levels as to invading would be great.

This kind of works the other way around.

However for the Royal Wood I would recommend invading at around SL 75, if you are on at an active time you'll get matches very quickly. Just be warned that people co-op there A LOT.

I get a surprising amount of Depths action at 120, as well as Royal Wood.

I did some SL 6 invading all over Lordran. Here's my results (they are only the SLs of the hosts I killed, so the numbers may be skewed): https://soulswiki.forumotion.com/t18310-average-sl-of-hosts-by-are-final-update

Yeah, that Jolly Co-operation chart works the other way around but still it is very useful for the purpose of invading as well.

I am still only level 63, trying to stay as low as I can with my intended build so I can invade in as many places as possible. But at level 120 in depths I guess you are hitting people in NG+?

reim0027, that data of yours is amazing, thank you.

NP man.

SL 75 - 80 got me a lot of action in Duke's Archives. The people there aren't too bright either, so it's kind of like free souls.

Yeah right now I am in Duke's. I didn't invade here before because I hadn't killed Seath, only cut off his tail for the Moonlight Greatsword for my build. So I would spend most of my time having other phantoms connecting to me, without the invasion actually going through. Because of that I invaded mostly in the forest and just recently in painted world.

I found painted world really good but then I got DC'd for GFWL and when I connected back, I tried for about 30 minutes but the invasions just weren't happening anymore.

How did you not kill seath? I killed him in under twenty seconds with a pure mage build who was midrolling due to the weight of the +3 lightning Gargoyle's Halberd she was wielding.

Haha, I was using a Moonlight Butterfly Horn which was doing no damage at all. Also I must have not been hitting far enough to the end of the tail because I went through half of his HP before it finally got cut off.

I had no flasks left so I just homeward boned out, upgraded the MLGS to max and just went straight to invading.

Get a bunch of fire bombs and go to town.

I non-stop invade at SL39 at blighttown (I always put the orb down in Quelaag's domain).

Depths is pretty constant too at the bonfire.

Possibly the worst thing you could have done. Magic is pretty much the only thing Seath has high resistance to.

Really stupid question, but did you break the crystal?

I know I did. Part of how I killed him so fast.

Not so sure about him though. Not sure if you can even get the MLGS without hitting the crystal.

I went an int build so I really didn't have any other option weapon wise without doing a lot of farming for mats. I downgraded the lightning spear you get in Sen's fortress to make the Butterfly Horn so that wasn't an option either. My friend who also made a new char with me offered to give me his, but I had to wait until the next day so I just kept attempting until I got the tail.

It didn't take too many tries, maybe 4 or 5. The problem was that each one was like 10 mins long.

And yes, I did kill the crystal. I got him to destroy it himself with his crystal breath because then he gets stunned so there is time to get a few attacks off on the tail right at the start.
