In Dark Souls 2, what does this white soapstone icon mean?
In Dark Souls 2, I recently noticed this white soapstone icon. What does it mean?
Best Answer
It appears I was wrong about the company of champions producing this symbol. Please see this comment and this answer,
The sign means you're unable to engage in any PVP (summon others, be summoned, invade others, or be invaded). You gain this effect by burning a human effigy at a bonfire. This is a temporary effect which will wear off after an hour. The symbol will only appear if the effect is gained via this method (source).

How do you use the white sign soapstone in Dark Souls 2?
Summon Timer By default, the Small White Sign Soapstone allows the player to be summoned for a little over 8 minutes. However, every enemy that is killed will lessen the remaining time. This can result in a very short session if a summoned shade is helping a host kill lots of enemies in a level.What does the small white sign soapstone do?
There's a few reasons that you wouldn't be able to use the soapstone: You're offline (at the moment that I'm writing this, it appears the PC servers are having a bit of trouble) You're in the Champion's Covenant. You've burned an effigy at the bonfire for the zone you're in.Dark Souls 2: How to get \u0026 use the White Sign Soapstone
