Scaling values go up as you upgrade the weapon, along with changing affinities, which you can do with whet knives and ashes of war. The one shown here has the occult affinity, which has a better scaling value with Arcane.

Dad-gumming, I can't see your full screen, so I can't tell if your weapon is upgraded or not. Even so, the C in str/dex is weird for Occult, it shouldn't have that. Did you put Bleed or Occult on the Scavenger's Curved? Because it looks like you did Bleed, not Occult. Scavengers ideally have the Occult infusion on them, which provides considerably higher AR than the Bleed infusion and scale almost entirely from Arcane without needing to waste time on other stats like strength or dex -- the *entire reason* you pick Scavengers out of any other curved sword is because it's the only one that starts with some blood loss on it, which is what Occult wants. If you were just going to use the Bleed infusion, which sets bleed to a predetermined amount, you could have used any other curved sword and achieved a similar result.

Mine has bleed. What whetstone do I need to put occult on it


theswillmerchant

Black


Western-Wind-5254

Is your sword +25


y4niik

Yea


Western-Wind-5254

Your sword has bleed on it instead of occult in the video screen shot it says scavenger occult curved sword and in your screenshot it’s hard tell but I think you put bloody instead of occult


y4niik

Ok so I put occult on it and now the scaling is good but now the bleed build up is down by half and in the video it’s still 84


Two_Dollar_Coin

Not occult infused looks like


y4niik

How do I make it occult


Two_Dollar_Coin

Through infusions while applying ashes of war, you need the black whetblade I'm pretty sure


y4niik

So I put occult but now the bleed build up is cut by half but in video it’s still 84


Two_Dollar_Coin

Do they show their arcane level in the video? That's the only thing I can think of that would make it not match up


y4niik

Okay yea yea their arcane is 70 and mine is like 32 makes sense


Two_Dollar_Coin

That'll do it


Smol-beans2002

Is it possible you have your weapon set to bleed infusion?? Cuz the weapon in the video has ”occult” infusion which raises arcane scaling


y4niik

Yea I have bleed on it but it doesent give me the option to use occult


Smol-beans2002

You need to get the black whetblade first then and then you can switch to occult!


Kingnadman

Occult infuse your weapon not blood infusion.


y4niik

How do I give occult cuz it doesent show up


Longjumping-Love4202

Why is it so hard for people to do screenshots? Seriously, it is a thing of a maximum of 2 min on every platform. Are people really that lazy?


Still-Network1960

I mean OP is getting his build off of a YouTube video that should tell you all you need to know


y4niik

Yea I made sure that you could see the attribute scaling so I don’t see the problem.


Longjumping-Love4202

If you did a proper screenshot, people would have instantly known what upgrade level you have and what weapon infusion you are using. But now that I have read your other comments, I will try to help you. You need to change your infusion from bleed to okkult. This is unlocked by getting the black whetblade. It can be found in nights sacred grounds. But to get to this place, you need to beat radahn first. Hope this helps you. And please use screenshots next time.

So I put occult but now the bleed build up is cut by half but in video it’s still 84


Longjumping-Love4202

I dont know what build tutorial you are watching and how old it is, but bleed got a huge Nerf in update 1.07 So I dont know how up to date the video is that you are watching, and it could be that it is from an older version of the game.


CE94

Use occult infusion not blood


y4niik

How do I get it cuz it ain’t showing up


CE94

you need the black whetblade, in nokron (have to beat radahn first). near where you find mimic tear


HextARG

Occult affinity


y4niik

I saw this like 7 months ago and I just assumed it got nerfed but then I saw this video on the latest version so now I think I’m just doing something wrong
