Alright, sweet. Although, I'll probably like to move on to other weapons after the hand axe wears out it's use. I'll bet I can still pick other weapons just fine.Also, why should I stary from the graveyard at the start? Is there nothing rewarding there?

There's a handful of gear scattered throughout, but the skeletons are very tough to kill if you head in there early, and they swarm you in a big way. Very deadly -- of course, it's also a pretty good place to grind for souls early on.

My advice for weapons is -- Balder Side Sword. In fact just get Balder Everything. You'll meet some enemies *fairly* early on that wear these tattered red capes, and kick your ass -- they have lots of really good gear (including one of the better swords in the game, one of the best shields in the game, and one of the best medium-heavy armor sets in the game). They also give a pretty hefty number of souls, and you'll meet them right before heading into some tough areas, so it's worth the time. Kill lots of them -- they'll give up their gear eventually. The equipment isn't *super* against magic, but it's strong against most everything else, and it makes a good benchmark (if you find armor pieces that are better than Balder, it's good armor).

Alternatively, shield + spear is *very* good against the in-game enemies. Invaders will eat you for breakfast, but you'll walk through monsters, because you can attack while guarding. Very beginner-friendly, and you'll encounter lots of quality spears without having to put much work into them.
