Way of White

Way of White is a Covenant in Dark Souls. This covenant is for helping out other players online. Players who are in this covenant will automatically be drawn closer to each other on the network. This makes "Miracle Resonance" easier to perform, as well as helps block people from antagonistic covenants from coming closer on the network. 

Joining

Speak with Petrus of Thorolund at Firelink Shrine or to Reah of Thorolund at the Undead Parish, after rescuing her from Tomb of Giants, to join this covenant.

Knight and Cleric classes start the game as members of the Way of White covenant.

You do not need to be a part of this covenant to purchase items. You can join and abandon the covenant and still purchase items while in another covenant.

Effects of covenant

Members of the Way of White are matched up each other much more easily. It is speculated they are also connected to the Warrior of Sunlight and the Princess' Guard covenants for online play.

Players report that joining this covenant may help reduce the amount of invaders invading into your game. Extensive testing suggests that members of other covenants are given preference to invaders over members of the Way of White. In other words, members of Way of White are only invaded if there are no other potential targets. However this protection appears to be reduced or eliminated if the player summons additional friendly summons to assist them, as this appears to often result in imminent invasions as well.

Rank Requirements

There are no known ranks in this covenant. It is believed additional aspects and possible ranking mechanisms related to the Way of White were originally developed and based around the Undead Parish, but later removed from the game before release.

Betrayal Penalties

There are none.
