Talk:Andre of Astora/@comment-5651348-20141012021419

Could someone tell me what benefits I could recieve from killing Andre? I'm beginning to get into Dark Souls after owning it for about a year. I have a +5 Uchigatana, and plan to upgrade future armor. If it is a good idea to kill him later, at what point should I? If I do, is there an alternate blacksmith that is in a reasonable distance from him?

Thanks in advance.
