Hello everyone. I'm not exactly new to Dark Souls, but I am new to PvP. I've logged about 100 hours into PvE, but never touched the multiplayer aspect. So I started a new slot to try and see if there was still any action out there. About a week ago something very strange (to me at least) happened...

I was in the Undead Parish and was a really low level, around ten, and got invaded. The invader approached me, bowed, and then pointed to the ground. I was shocked to find 16 humanity, a +14 Grass Crest Shield, a +1 Lightning Uchigatana, and a +1 Xanthous Armor. So I have 3 questions.

1. Is this common, or was I lucky in meeting someone so generous?

2. How did someone with such high level gear invade me when I hadn't sinned yet?

3. And Most Importantly: Why would they do this? What did they have to gain? 2 of those items appear only once per playthrough, and a lot of time was spent upgrading them. It only required about 1700 souls for me to level, so they could have only gotten about 170 souls for killing me, not nearly enough to pay for the items. How did this benefit them at all?

Oh and on the very slim chance whoever this was is on this forum, or anyone like them, I'd like to thank you for the generosity and the fair dual ( even though you destroyed me). Though that Uchi completely imbalanced the early game, I had to put it in the bottomless box just to keep any challenge. :) Thanks in advance for any answers. Cheers.
