Where can you farm for large titanite? The only enemy that drops it are the Balder and Berenike Knights of Sens fortress, not Undead Parish, the leeches in the Blighttown Swamp, and the slimes of the Depths. Only one of those is before Blighttown, and the slimes very rarely drop it.

As I said before, to surpass a baseline Shadow Set, you'd need two pieces of the Black Leather set to be +9, and two to be +10. And even then you'd need a ton of Titanite Chunks, which only drop in good amounts at the kiln of the first flame, or in New Londo.

As for fire and damage resistance, if you have the master key (or can buy it), go and grab the Dragoncrest Shield from the Valley of Drakes. It has 80 fire resist on block, and 100 physical resist. You can obtain about less than 5 chunks of Twinkling Titanite before Blighttown. From the lizard before the Taurus Demon, along a cliff in Darkroot Garden, and I think that's it.
