Also....when it comes to levelling weapons/defense, where do you go to do so? I was thinking something like equipping a crappy grey weapon and heading to Scarlet Monestary. The mobs are mostly melee...and at 60, they shouldn't be able to do too much damage to you. As they're elite...they'll be able to take a good amount of hits before they die...allowing you to level up these skills. Sound like a plan?
An even better idea would be to wail on the mobs that patrol the rim just outside the dark portal.

Can't remember exctly what they're called...shadow cultists or something? They're basically immortal without a quest item so they stay permanently on 1 HP.
Just beat on them, once your health gets low run off bandage rinse repeat!
