Item Discovery

Item Discovery is a game mechanic in Dark Souls.

Overview
Increasing Item Discovery improves the chance for enemies to drop items. It is useful for obtaining rare items that would be otherwise difficult to obtain.

In contrast to Dark Souls II, in Dark Souls Item Discovery is a visible stat. The base value equals 100, it can be raised up to 410 by special items.
