Difficulty and difficulty "debates" are popular topics, but it's not the only thing that makes these games so good. Fromsoft's games are rich worlds, filled with fantastic characters and stories. And when you add in tight gameplay and fantastic level design, well, baby, you've got a stew.
So in this spoiler-free* guide, I'll do what I can to explore what makes these games so good and how to make them less bad.

Agricultural places:
1. Central Yharnam: The runs are fast and the bottle drops are quite plentiful. The whole area is good, but the werewolves on the bridge and the sewers are a bit better for vials. (Start of game)
2. Witch's Abode, Hemwick Charnel Lane: Lots of vial drops and echoes for the mid-game
3. Lecture Hall: You can kill the University students to get a ton of Echoes, which you can use to buy Levels and Flasks. They also drop a decent amount of bullets! (Middle game).
4. Cainhurst Castle: Similar to the conference room, wraiths drop numerous echoes, which you can exchange for vials and bullets. (Middle game).
5. Mergo's Loft: Middle: The pigs drop a lot of echoes, and you can force the Shadows and the pigs to fight if you go higher. This is by far the best place for late game farming.
