Maybe if you kill yourself, you don't get your shit back, or something. I can't think of any other explanation.
Verb. Do you wanna know a little bit more about shields? It just has to do with certain mechanics is all, now that you know a little bit more about that whole deal.

I usually play the somewhat quick lad with heavy hitting weapons, kind of a best of both worlds thing.Usually, in any game that allows you to boost your stats, I try to make my character a jack-of-all-trades, even if it's not necessarily a good idea to do so.

Shoot.So, obviously, you know that blocking with a shield eats your stamina. There's gonna be a lot of stats in this game that might not make much sense at the start. But, every shield in dark souls has a stat called stability.The higher this stat is on a shield, the more physical damage you can block without having your stamina completely eaten. So, a lower stat means higher stamina loss.So, if you have a strong enough shield, you can block more than you expect, and you can do it for longer. I'll let you figure out the rest of the pros and cons on that as you go.
Put points into Resistance.

Like Turkey said, try retracing your steps. Your souls should be somewhere around the spot you fell from or died.
DS1 has no automatic repair, unfortunately for Verb.
Quote from: Sandtrap on January 22, 2016, 01:11:05 AMHmm, that being said, I think the easiest way to repair your weapon is to rest at a bonfire. As far as I remember, there's three weapon states. Normal, at risk, and broken. Resting at a bonfire when your weapon is normal or even at risk should get you your durability back up to 100%. But, if it breaks, you'll need to visit a blacksmith or find yourself an item to repair it.DS1 has no automatic repair, unfortunately for Verb.
