I've been trying to get this fog ring for 2 days now. I haven't got a single invasion. I'm still in the covenant, I have the ring on, the npcs don't attack me. I'm standing around in the forest, even though I read you can be summoned from anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? I want to get the fog ring so i can then kill the ninja for the backflip ring and be done w/ this area.

Try unequipping it and re equipping it i dunno i havent had much trouble with it, maybe its just random what time on the day youre playing i was summoned repeatedly when iwere going through sen's fortress just equip it and go through the game is my advice

I gave up on the invasions and just traded the skull lantern with the bird. (also the ninja ring is awesome :P) 

Try restarting the game.
It might place you in a busier lobby or try to play during peak hours.
I got summoned like 5 times in half an hour, it just got silly as I kept trying to progress through Blight-town and every few mins I got summoned away.

Give Snuggly the Crow a lantern from the Catacombs and be done with it.

I got to make one invasion, after that something glitched ... I got 2000 souls out of nothing (some guy probably fell through the world or down a cliff again) and the weird cat told me I'm a traitor. That kinda sucked. I liked the concept of this covenant and wanted to do a few invasions.

Try being online. Try not having a super fucked up connection, open your NAT.

I can't get out of the forest because I get invaded the moment I get rid of the last invader, same thing in Anor Londo and Painted World.

SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME! OH MY GOD.

This describes all my forest experiences. I either have to get killed or turn the game off to get out of there. It's kind of funny I think!

How to get the Fog Ring:
 
Step 1: Keep restarting your game until you get a match.
 
Step 2: Hide your character in a remote part of the forest and walk away for about half an hour, when you come back you will have a victory.
 
Rinse and repeat two more times.

So in total probably done about 35+ invasions with this covenant in the past couple of days. I'm Forest Covenant +1, the fat cat ceases to give me any more items. What now? What does each win thereafter give me?

My question is related to the op. I joined the covenant, restarted to avoid that one glitch, was walking around a bit and something died somewhere giving me 2k souls. And as I was near what was once a friendly npc he started attacking me. I powered down my game as I hadn't seen the autosave in awhile so hopefully it will boot up before this happened, but incase it didn't, is there a way to avoid whatever happened?

This is somewhat off-topic, but I find it kinda sad that all PvP is about getting that fog ring. Everyone talks about the forest covenant for that reason, and nobody even mentions that you can become a fucking dragon person.

As far as that fog ring goes. Don't know, there was something fun about dueling an invader, even if you lose. That thing sort of ruins that particular thing.

Just to let you guys know ... buying absolution from the creepy dude in the church tower solved the forest hunter covenant problem. The weird cat reappeared and I can join the covenant again.

It wasn't until Friday night that things got a little busy in the forest. I was getting summoned every 10 minutes or so. After that night, I didn't see another summon, much less a summoning sign.

I really hope they fix the online stuff. I joined a covenant which lets me hunt down dirty sinners, except the blue orb you get to invade those who are guilty never ever works. Ever.

For anyone doing the Forest Covenant just to get the Ring of Fog: You can easily get it later after completing the Tomb of Giants, just trade the skull lantern you get down there with the crow in the Undead Asylum and you'll get a shiny new Ring of Fog. Accidentally broke the Forest Covenant on my first play through, and ended up saving a good deal of time, and still got the ring.

The guys exploiting that forest farming glitch deserve to be hunted down even more than any sinner anyway. Keep the forest clean!

It's a good thing that they at least give you this option, except it's not due to player action but a glitch. 80,000 souls is a lot at my current level, and if I wait til I'm at a level where that many souls is reasonably obtainable, it will be an even steeper price. For those who don't know, absolution cost is (your current soul level) x 2,000.

I don't even particularly want the ring of fog, it's just one of the earliest opportunities in the game to try your hand at PVP, and honestly it's not worth it trying to grind out those souls. While the news of upcoming patches makes me hopeful that this will get addressed, I don't have high hopes of such a patch reversing it for anyone who had this happen. (Internally, I'm sure the game can't differentiate from people who this happened to and those that targeted a friendly Forest Guardian on purpose.)
