There's a great farming method I've come privvy to.
The door that requires that seal Andrei the blacksmith has to open it? There are a group of bandits or something behind there. If you run through that wooded area, thjen run back and walk into the space between the stairs and the cliff, the stupid AI will run up the stairs and fall over the cliff.
All four of them falling off gives you a total of 10k souls. Go to the bonfire right up the stairs (there's a fake wall next to the door, hit it with your weapon) rinse, repeat.
I made over 100k souls in under twenty minutes.
