InElden Ring, you can discover many types of weapons and armor to enhance your build and gameplay. While most of these armaments are obtainable from defeating bosses and looting chests, a select few only have a small chance of dropping from regular enemies, such as theGrave Scytheand Banished Knight’s Greatsword.These weaponshave a mere2-4% chance of dropping, making their farming process tedious and time-consuming.
Fortunately, there are a few ways to increase the drop rate inElden Ring. The chance of obtaining loot drops depends on your character’s Discovery stat. In this guide, players can learn about all the ways to increase their Discovery stat, which will, in turn, boost the drop rate of items dropped by enemies inElden Ring.
How to Increase Discovery in Elden Ring
There are three ways to raise your character’s Discovery stat inElden Ring:
Silver Scarab Talisman
Equipping theSilver Scarab Talismanis the best way to increase the drop rate of items inElden Ring. This talisman increases the character’s Discovery stat by 75. With the Silver Scarab alone, you will have an easier time farming equipment.
However, there is one downside to the Silver Scarab. This talisman is found in the Hidden Path to the Haligtree, one of the endgame dungeons inElden Ring. To get to the Hidden Path of the Haligtree, you will have to defeatMorgottand collect both halves of the Haligtree Medallion. Then, go to the Grand Lift of Rold to use the Haligtree Medallion and reach the Hidden Path to the Haligtree.
Where to Find the Silver Scarab in the Hidden Path to the Haligtree
After entering the Hidden Path to the Haligtree, head straight to the hallway with stairs leading to a rounded platform with a broken rail on one side. Fall down this side to land on an invisible pathway. Head straight to the archway in front to find a narrow hallway. At the end of this hallway, there is a Grave Glovewort [9]. Strike the wall behind it to unveil a hidden section with the chest containing the Silver Scarab Talisman.
Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot
TheSilver-Pickled Fowl Footis a craftable item that raises Discovery by 50 for 5 minutes. To craft one Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot, you will need three Rowa Fruits, one Four-toed Fowl Foot, and one Silver Firefly. You can find Rowa Fruits from red bushes seen everywhere inLimgrave, while Silver Fireflies are common in Limgrave’s caves and the Siofra River. However, Four-toed Fowl Feet are only dropped by uncommon Guillemots and Eagles found in Limgrave.
Other Ways to Get Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot
Crafting isn’t the only way to get Silver-Pickled Fowl Feet inElden Ring. you may also purchase three of them from Gatekeeper Gostoc. More can be found spread across various corners of the Lands Between, such as in the hut north of the Gate Town Bridge site of grace in Liurnia and on a pillar’s ledge behind the Stranded Graveyard.
Increasing the Arcane Stat
Each point invested inArcaneincreases your character’s Discovery stat by 1 until you max out the stat. For this reason, Arcane builds are best for farming equipment, as they have a much higher item drop rate than other builds. However, if you don’t plan to create a build centered around the Arcane stat, you can use the following talismans and armaments to boost Arcane slightly:
Godrick’s Great Rune and Grafted Blade Greatsword
you’re able to also use Godrick’s Great Rune to boost all stats, including Arcane, by 5. The same effect can be doubled by using theGrafted Blade GreatswordAsh of War: Oath of Vengeance. With all this equipment, you can get a significant boost to your Discovery stat, leading to increased item drop rates.
