Talk:Item Discovery (Dark Souls II)/@comment-58.106.159.148-20150112082435

Could someone create an Item Discovery page for the first Dark Souls game? In specific, I'm after details about how it affects drop rates. I was originally under the assumption that it worked as a percentage but when looking over the numbers I wasn't sure if it was right. As exemplars for my confusion I'll assume max Item Discovery, 410. Attained through 10 liquid humanity (Item Discovery = 210) and donning the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring (Item Discovery +200), as it seems easier to acquire than the Symbol Of Avarice and doesn't drain health. (Item Discovery equals 410, thus *4.1 drop rate. I'll demonstrate with the Stone Greatshield, dropped by Stone Knights and Large Titanite Shard, when dropped by Berenike Knights in Sen's Fortress (The drop rate is important for this.)

Stone Knight - Stone Greatshield Drop = 2% Berenike Knight - Large Titanite Shard Drop = 25%

2 * 4.1 =  8.2% 25 * 4.1 = 102.5%

Thus with maximum Item Discovery, a 2% drop becomes 8.2% and a 25% drop becomes Guaranteed (Or in fact, anything with a drop chance greater than ~24.39%). Is this how it actually works? Or have I missed something related to it?
