This is cubby

First) Faith to 20 and help as a phantom beat a boss (this is so you can join sunlight covenant)

Second) Dexterity to 14 to wield most katanas or other dex weapons

Third) strength to 16 so you don't have to two hand those weapons

fourth) vitality and endurance (alternate between the two) until you're confident enough in your skills to not die. At this confident level you can stop for the meantime to begin upgrading either weapons or other attributes. the sooner you stop upgrading end and vit the faster you get the other ones going

Fifth) int to 10 because you need this to see quelana

Sixth) upgrade between everything mentioned at this point (to include attunement) as you see fit.

Just a pointer I must add, the moment I get a glove, I head down to blighttown at the bonfire and lay my sign (staying around lvl 20/25 for co-op). I help defeat quelaag as a phantom about 30 times (with much patience I may add) to get the required souls to get my glove to ascended level (approximnately 383,000 souls.) While waiting to be summoned I pick blighttown clean (making sure to get ninja suit, iato, pyromancies, chloranthy ring quickly, etc) and I farm the slugs for green titanite (gonna need them later). Once my glove is ascended (or pretty high like ascended +3 or +4) I will continue to progress through game with little to no more farming.

These are my stats when Im completely finished upgrading my character at the end of the playthrough

Vit-40 (max benefits at this point) atn-19 (5 slots) end-35 str-16 (enough to wield any katana except washing pole which is 20) dex-38 (katanas and small curved swords scale off dex res-11 (no upgrade) int=-10 (needed to talk with quelana) fth-38 (needed for high effectvness as miracles scale of faith)

I have the following and will use them differently:

grass crest shield +10 or sanctus +5 or buckler +14 uchi +5 occult or iato +15 raw black bow of pharis +10 divine with moonlight and poison arrows +5 ascended pyro glove darkmoon or ivory talisman (usually darkmoon)
