The Darkmoon Blade Covenant is pointless to join anymore because nearly all sinners that you could possibly invade are intact hackers with no health gage, stamina, or limit on what they can use; this includes their spells, miracles, and even their weight capacity. For example I encountered a player wearing Ornstien's armor, and greatsword, great shield, and still had enough to use the dark oak ring to roll after me and repeatedly backstab me while spamming wraith of the gods and an unknown spell that i have never witnessed in my years of playing. So unless you want to fight speedy miracle havels and other pointless battles then i suggest avoiding this covenant all together. Good luck to all of you and i pray you don't go hollow.

the leveling up covenant animation is unnecessarily slow

Where does one check their covenant rank?

Where is the best place to see your covenant rank?

If i obtain the buff to Darkmoon Blade by getting Rank 3 and then exiting the covenant and join back, will it still have the upgrade?

Does entering a new game+ reset all rankings of any covenant you reached before?

Can I join and abandon convents without facing any problems if I play the whole game offline?

If I used the Chaos covenant to open the shortcut to save Sun Bro Solair, but haven’t gotten there yet and move from Covenant to Covenant will that shortcut still open to me or will I have wasted 30 humanity and need to do it again? If it’s the second option, when do I do it?

I can't see how a player can discover all covenants in his/her first playthrough, really.
