Talk:Item Discovery/@comment-184.88.80.1-20170617171303

Although the game shows that humanity doesn't improve item discovery after 10 or 11 humanities, this is NOT the case.

For example, with 50 to 99 humanity, a run in New Londo Ruins--killing 9 of the 10 Dark Wraiths--will produce about 3 to 5 titanite chunks per run. With 11 humanity that will usually produce about 0 to 1 chunks per run. The same can be said of the Slimes in the Depths. Also, with 99 humanity the first necromancer in the catacombs has about a 1 in 6 chance of dropping the skull lantern, but at only 11 it is more like a 1 in 100 chance.

Basically, the Item Discovery stat that is displayed is almost meaningless. About all it indicates is how many different item discovery increasing pieces of equipment you probably have equipped at the time.
