So I've made a few characters and the one I decided to go with is a mundane build. I know it's not optimal, but I thought it would be fun. Since this is my first char I'm not sure what to do. It seems the scaling drops off after 20 so I'm not raising things equally yet. It seems there's a soft cap at 20 and again at 30.

I haven't even found a mundane stone even though I've killed dozens of those steel workers. I've also tried hexes a bit, but so far it's not doing great at 20/20 INT/faith.

With minimal spoilers (I have watched Dark Souls 2 on Youtube, but this is my first), Is there anything I should doing? I thought the sunset staff would be good, but twinkling titanite is very rare. I haven't tried any hexes except dark orb.
