Step 1:
23
Find what you want to farm, and equip all of the above.
24
Step 2:
25
Start killing it in the most efficient way that works for you. Warp back to the nearest bonfire using a Homeward Bone or the Aged Feather after you've killed everything.
26
Step 3:
27
If enemies you are farming have stopped spawning, burn a bonfire ascetic at the bonfire that logically corresponds to their location; this will bring them all back, but at the cost of bumping up the area's difficulty by 1 NG+, permanently. Buffs carry over to NG+ and beyond.
28
Step 4:
29
If you're not getting what you want, suck it up, stop bitching, and keep farming.

31
Misc.:
32
- In certain areas, burning another bonfire ascetic will require you to beat the respawned area boss
33
- Red Phantoms and their rare drops can be farmed by repeatedly burning bonfire ascetics to respawn them, make sure your item discovery is as high as possible when you kill them because they only spawn once per bonfire ascetic burned
