Pretty much the title, I plan on Gravelording with my PvP character and would like to know the best areas so that way I know not to kill the bosses there.

The forest and the burg are both great places to gravelord, I know this because those are the only spots I ever successfully invaded gravelords, tons of fun the whole entire gravelord business btw

Well it's a bit late for Burg because I already killed the Taurus Demon.
I was planning on mainly Gravelording in Anor Londo, it's gonna be annoying because I'll have to walk everywhere, but I figured it'd be the place besides the forest to get the best bites.

For killing VIA Black Phantoms
As for PvP, the best place will probably be Forest, although the Blues will be forest hunters, and probably not spirits of vengeance.
The best place to PvP, is areas where your soul level is mostly seen at in different locations. For example, the Depths would usually have SL 25 - 40. Sens would usually have 45 - 60. Anor Londo, 50 - 80. Etc.
Depends on the Location. If you want a good PvP area for your character, getting the most popular for your Soul Level is the best option. Otherwise, Darkwraiths will be your only invaders most of the time.
(Ugh... this time it is right).

I wanted a bit of both, at my SL I'll probably end up affecting the worlds of NG+ players.

As of right now it's 100, it's gonna be 120 eventually because it's also my PvP character.

Well, as you are going to 120, you should note that the most popular 120 areas are the Archives, Anor Londo, and Kiln of the First Flame. However, since SL 120 is the standard for many to stop at (who knows why!), you will probably find them easier.
Also, depending on the Days, Sens, New Londo, and Undead Burg are popular with SL 120s. The rest is more so rare. Have Fun!

And correct me if I'm mistaken, but you can only infect those that are either on level or higher than you, correct?

No. That's Darkwraiths.
Think of infecting as a Gravelord similar to White Summon Signs. People of and around your level.

Their are plenty others, but yes, they are the best.
Remember one thing; The Gravelord Eye, when used, also acts as a dried finger. If it does not infect someone already, it searches for them. A maximum of three can be infected, however it is said that others can also see your sign.
Since it also acts as a dried finger, Darkwraiths will be more... common. Be warned.

No worries, this is my PvP character, so I relish for an opportunity to fight more people!

Then, comrade, I bid you good luck.
Bring as much suffering as you can!
By the way... i will tell ya a treat you may or may not know. When you infect someone, you can put your white sign down as well. If one of the three infectees summons you, they stay permanently gravelorded for a good amount of duration... and you get to see them in his or her world yourself.
Just in case you get bored, and want to try something new. Have fun!

Got my first successful invasion! The man I dueled with put up a good fight, but made the fatal mistake of not hitting his BKGA lunging swing.
I like where this is going so far.

I've confirmed myself everyone in the 'cluster' (or whatever you call the players youre grouped with) can see your sign. Several times I've invaded other gravelords in the Burg through their sigb without having BPs in my world.
@DubScythe in my experience medium traffic areas tend to be best for Gravelording. The high traffic areas like NG+ Burg is so packed with DarkWraiths you never get any SoVs which results in you not getting more eyes. So don't be bummed you killed Taurus!

I think Sen's has the best black phantoms. Painted World has black phantom bonewheels, though, so that's also fun. The best tip is to drop your eye in an area where you see summon signs. Summon signs = gravelord victims.
I just made a baby gravelord. She's cute! Only sl 6 now. I'm deciding how to level her a bit before she's ready to gl The Depths.

Gravelording has been very enjoyable so far. I've been doing it on the bridge with the first Gargoyle in Anor Londo. Though the Darkwraith/Gravelord victim ratio has been about %60/%40.

Yeah Anor Londo is a great place to spread misery , the black phantoms there are just brutal but the problem is that it's mostly just Darkwraiths invading in Anor., from my experience.
I've had of lot of succes with Spirits of vengeance at the Forest Bonfire (if you activate an eye there you'll infect alvina's forest simultaniously ,so u dont need to go through the door) , The Depths ,The Catacombs , Tomb of Giants , New Londo Ruins and the Demon Ruins were filled with SoV's for me.. haven't reached the Kiln with my servants yet.
Im making multiple gravelords to be able to spread misery at all the SL ranges in all areas of Lordran. Im on XBOX only by the way, have fun

I concur. Sens does have the best... hardest Black phantom points and areas of all of the areas. Tomb of Giants has vamped Skeletal Dogs, but those of their heightened strength and HP is not as see able as that of the Man-Serpents. The Placement of them is WORSE than any in game, as they are made to make your life as miserable as possible if you do not know how to handle it. In Sens, out of all of them, it requires you to know what you ARE going to do the most. Otherwise, you die very, very easily. Tomb of Giants? Easy.

I had them infected by my comrade, whiskey. Sen's is hard on NG+. do yourself a favour: DO NOT BLOCK. Anything less than greatshield is dangerous.

Im hoping to get cursed myself in one of the upcoming gatherings with my fellow GraveSworn on XBL., havent seen any BPs in like 600 hours of playtime. (300 prepatch 1.05)
Soo you mean there is added bleeding effect to the BP mages flamberges ?
well luckily none of my current builds make use of shields , so im used to dodging and evading. In PVE i only use a shield for the fight with Gwyn , and Sif if im alone... my main gravelord has a lifehunt scythe left and gravelord sword right, i dualhand it a lot offcourse though.
