I've noticed several people asking about soul levels etc. Decided to post this to clear up any questions people may have about requirements for each soul level. I did not accrue this information myself the source will be listed at the bottom of the page.

Level / Required Souls

It's really unfortunate that this info isn't apparent when you want to level up.

Yeah, it is bothersome when trying to decide if you should spend souls on leveling or if you should buy some items. Thanks for this

Well that's disappointing. The last game had as many levels as there were possible point allocations. Well, I guess this just means people will be forced to specialize in one way or another.

Thanks for this! I hated having to sit at a bonfire to check and see if I was even eligible to upgrade and not knowing how many to the next level.

@Shadow: I don't think this is all the levels, just the first 150. I think you could still theoretically max out all your stats (I heard max level was somewhere around 796 this time around, since there is 1 more stat)

Thanks, useful.

So ... regardless of my stat level, this is how many souls I need to level anything at each successive increment?

Thank you immeasurably. 
 
I don't care if it was on purpose or not, this was either a huge mistake, or a very poor decision made by the developers. 
 
(PS: I would love to know if it was intentional or an oversight on their part, I'm leaning towards oversight.)

Yeah, the stupid thing is they actually have the field (I think souls required) in the stats screen, but it's set to 0 if you don't have enough. Seems like a bug to me.

It's not a bug. The field displays the amount of souls you're in the process of spending when you're upgrading your stats, so it no longer says 0 when you're leveling up.

I know that, but why not show there how many souls you require for your next stat. Show it in red if you don't have enough. Seems like an easy fix.

I hate not being able to see the requirements for the next level up, if I have a bunch of souls and it's still not enough for a level up I want to at least know if I'm close or not. I mean Demon's Souls showed it, so why not this game?

Not saying that I like the way it's handled, but the way they display the ReqSouls is probably intentional.

I don't know about that, you might be right. It might be more of an oversight and not a bug. They apparently showed it in Demon's souls (thanks RockmanBionics), so I doubt it was a conscious design choice to omit the info in this game. ReqSouls as it works now is definately a different kind of info, and I think less useful.
