PSA: If you see IGGMs "article", they stole my script for this video word for word, even with the chapter names. Correction: This video is not to say these weapons are impossible to get, if you dont farm for one it will take hundreds of hours to come across them by chance but farming for them actively makes even the toothpick not take too long.

Yeah, some of the weapons in ER were a pain in the ass to get. I made it a goal of mine to get 2 of every weapon and 1 of every piece of armor without cheating/modding and there were some pretty awful farms. The great envoy horn was by far the worst one. Id rather farm 5 noble toothpicks than get even 1 envoy horn agian.

You have a bag with 1000 total marbles in it. 5 of them are blue and the rest are red. You really want the blue ones (0.5% chance) Doubling your item discovery doubles how many blue marbles there are, but doesn’t take away any red marbles. That’s all the formula is saying.

@@jozzi65830 the video stated you could never get to 100% drop rate , I don't know how that math works out specifically so I lowballed it just in case

As someone who likes to describe himself as a "hoarding goblin", I decided 2 months after the game released that I would get each and every armor piece, both altered and unaltered, and two copies of every weapon just in case I wanted to power stance them As I started the farm, the whole thing was pretty simple and uneventful. Pretty long farms, but most of them where fairly easy. I fully respec'd into an arcane build and farmed for a shit ton of fowl feet bc I knew I would need em. I watched a shitload of movies and finished some series. On some instances, I even played another game while farming since it was muscle memory at that point There are 3 particular farms that have scared me deeply. Number 3 is the fucking Altered Fire Prelate armor, that shit doesn't drop, I just doesn't, I spent around 2h beating the shit out of the same guy for one drop. Number 2 is Dominula, not because the old hags are hard, but because there are so many pieces of armor and weapons that I spent around 3 days farming the same spot. And the most annoying piece of shit farm, as Leviathan said, has to be the Envoy Greathorn. I didn't get much chances to even try my luck at the drop, bc I kept dying again and again to the fucking ants, or maybe one of the bubbles could hit me and throw me to the fucking void. Sometimes I even fell bc one of the flowers decided to stand right where I landed and I fucking slipped on it and broke my ankle. The moment I got one drop I just decided to quit. I don't need to power stance a giant bubble-making trombone. Envoy's Longhorn is better than this shit, and I have like 4 of those. Fuck it And here I am now, like fucking 9 or 10 months later, farming for this fucking trash weapon bc I decided I REEEEEEALLY need 2 of each weapon. I'm dumb as shit.

200 is 2x the drop rate of 100. 300 is 3x the drop rate of 100, or 1.5x the drop rate of 200. 400 would, theoretically, be 4x the drop rate of 100, 2x the drop rate of 200, and I suck too much at math to tell you what it is to 300. If you double the stat, you double the drop rate.

@QuadfishTym

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Pretty much true and good enough as a rule of thumb. I've spent an honestly regretful amount of time staring at this formula and have a few other trends to note: tl;dr Investing in more discovery/arcane is most valuable if you're farming rare items and don't already have much discovery. The more common the item and the more discovery you already have, the less 'value' you get out of spending more points on it. * Similar to what you're saying, starting from a base stat of 100 discovery, multiplying that stat by X *pretty much* multiplies any drop chance by X. E.g. Achieving 200 discovery basically multiplies drops by 2x, 300 discovery by 3x, etc. * At base drop chances less than 10%, the extra chance granted by discovery might be rounded down. So at very low base chances, you might have to add multiple discovery points before you actually see an improvement. (This doesn't really make those points 'less valuable', it just means you have to add multiple points to get the full benefit) * As the base drop chance increases, the chance improvement granted by discovery decreases. E.g. if you have 200 discovery: * A 1% drop would a ~2% chance (=2x) * A 10% drop would have an ~18% chance (=1.8x) * A 50% drop would have a ~67% chance (=1.3x) * As the base drop chance increases, the 'value' of each new point of discovery obtained (i.e. how much your chances improve compared to previous levels) decreases. E.g. if you have 200 discovery: * At 1% drop, each new point of discovery is about as valuable as a new point was at 100 discovery * At 10% drop, each new point of discovery is ~85% as valuable as a new point was at 100 discovery * At 50% drop, each new point of discovery is ~48% as valuable as a new point was at 100 discovery * Also as discovery increases, the value of each new point of discovery (as per point above) decreases. E.g. for a 10% drop item: * Adding a point at 150 discovery is ~92% as valuable as a new point at 100 discovery * Adding a point at 200 discovery is ~85% as valuable as a new point at 100 discovery * Adding a point at 250 discovery is ~77% as valuable as a new point at 100 discovery

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 The drop rate isn't doubled, the number of valid options out of the total is doubled. So if it's 5/1000 originally, doubling it becomes 10/1005. The difference being that you aren't replacing invalid rolls with valid rolls, but adding valid rolls to the invalid rolls. Saying the drop rate doubles is close enough at the low numbers of discovery that are attainable in the game, but not at higher values. The math is pretty simple, if you look up the formula. With a drop rate of 0.5%, at 324 discovery your drop rate is 1.582%. Just a little over triple the original drop rate. The way it scales at very large numbers, however, means it falls off dramatically the higher you go. So at 12,800 discovery, the drop rate is ~39.14%, rather than the 64% it would be if you simply doubled the drop rate as you doubled your item discovery. Double the item discovery again to 25,600 and the formula will tell you a 0.5% item will increase in drop rate to ~56.26%, well shy of the 128% drop rate that you would get if doubling discovery doubled drop rate. At 274 discovery, you get ~1.289% drop rate and at 175 discovery you get ~.797% drop rate.

Its the noble's slender sword people tend to be after not the estoc. Its the longest straight sword in the game, scales well with the faith and intelligence based infusions, has a 110 crit multiplier, has relatively low strength requirements for a straight sword (8) in exchange for slightly higher dex (11), and has the straight sword moveset that i believe most would agree is pretty simple and effective for pve. This makes it a solid choice for casters who dont have a lot of points to invest in str or dex. The astrologer can equip this weapon with their starting stats, unfortunately the prophet is one point shy of the dex requirements so they would maybe opt for something else. Really though this sword with a staff in the off hand is my favourite way to play astrologer.

Never thought about any of this before actually, bc I have multiple of every obtainable in game item. I usually just give away items and runes now. So I guess you could say I increase drop chance to 100% on everything.

I do like they added more to the luck stat and made the already existing functions alot more useful. I usually didnt bother with luck in the previous games until my main stats were softcapped because lets be honest in previous games status effects sucked ass. Its also nice to have a few spells that scale with luck and have a luck requirement

Wow that gagging cat absolutely floored me for some reason.

I got the stone cat head helm in the catacombs just to the west of Stormveil. I can't remember if an imp dropped it or if it came from the boss, but I remember being very happy to find it. I didn't find out until much later that apparently it's a very rare drop. I've been wearing it since I found it, because it has better stats than any of the other helms/headgear I have and I can adjust what else I wear so I'm not fat rolling all over. I've worn it for so long that I have to occasionally remove it just to remember what my character actually looks like, lol. I think there might be some soldier/knight helms that provide higher physical protection, but it's a FromSoftware game, so most of it doesn't make much difference unless someone is really into min/maxing. I mostly just go with what I like and that stone cat helm does give very high protection against most of the magic related damages, and I'd prefer that over physical protection any day.

Even still, most of crafting is normally out of question because lots of items like arteria leaf, string, trina lily are so rare...

Interesting topic, well presented. Cheers from Germany

It's funny because on my first playthrough I got it from the first guy who had it and had no idea how rare it was. Still went through with the bloodhounds fang until finishing the game though :)

The noble Royal Toothpick was a close opponent but nothing tops out the 2 million worth of runes that I got while farming for a single single cleanrot spear at the Prayer Room on NG. I farmed every single item in the game on NG (minus some boss weapons that would require NG+), and only switched to a 99 arcane build for like the last 5 items left (my normal build has 9 arcane), and those 2 were some of those items.

I was rockin the Cat helm my first playthrough, had no idea it was so rare

Isn't there a big envoy blobber at Leyendell too and it is really close to the grace up on the wall? Or does that one not drop the Envoy Greathorn?

LMFAO!!!! I JUST got through farming the two horns and your NOT wrong lol, I was getting sooooo pissed to where i had to kms whenever it didnt drop because I couldnt fast travel. However after seeing the stats I feel I got really lucky because it actually only took about 15 20 min. But if you dont mind is there a way the greathorn can be better? because i only see mention of the more slender version being better aside from small enemies up close the bigger version gets little mention but keep pumping our raw stat vids I LOVE THIS deff got a new sub my guy!

I didn't even know the golden weapons are rare.. They've been rotting in my inventory for a while now.

The gagging cat always gets me

I got Noble Slender Sword while going to all the graveyards. Went to the one in Caelid and got it. Base discovery too. This was my bow only run and now I feel like I have to use this weapon 🤣😊

This guy out here doin the elden lords work

lol, that sword looked familiar & remembered getting some random sword from one of those skeleton dudes. Checked my inventory & there it was. I think I got it around 20h of playtime (currently at 50h). Looks like a good sword too.

As someone who grinded out to get every item in the game the most hellish time I had was with the nobles estoc, I grinded for many hours with multiple methods and finally on my 8th session on my 3rd spot I got it. The celebrants come close but the grind there was so long because of the amount of items they could dropped.

2-3 hrs farming the hat noble outside the capital wall at the grace near the dragon spawn plateu, got 3 fancy noble swords and 1 slender noble sword between there and nobles outside Waypoint ruins.

I got the Nobles Slender Toothpick or whatevs really randomly (luckily). I actually didn’t notice picking it up from a fallen foe in my bloodlust and it was only later when I was trying to sell some stuff that I was like, Oh what is this sword that’s worth 10x every other weapon I have. I really like using it too. It has a v fast slash. 😊

I just jumped back on min of character to prepare for the dlc and I somehow have a big envoy’s horn.

I have a loot goblin character with as much discovery i could get and it took 4 real days to get the unaltered banished knight chest, but got it after 2 minutes of grinding with a character with 9 arcane and nothing else

On my first play through, i got the great horn and the other horn from the first one you meet because i kept dying just after the first elevator. Maybe 15 killed or so. Kept it but didn't know it was rare

Doesnt the golden leaves weather effect also causes extra drop chance? or is it just extra runes?

I got that goblin helmet on my first play through! Didn’t know it was so rare

A few play sessions ago i got an imp head, a nobles straightsword, and old aristocrat shoes, all with no grinding and no good stats except strength, endurance and vigor. It was literally just dumb luck, and i wasn't actively trying to get any of the items, i just got them from random passing enemies.

What is the name of the armor set you had equipped in this video? I must know!

I picked up a noble rapier on my first play through just a few hours into the game, had no idea it was so rare and trashed it thinking it was a regular drop.

I wasn’t aware that the Envoy’s Greathorn was so annoying to get I’m glad I already got one without grinding but I feel that such luck maxed out my ‘lucky’ quota for the rest of that save file

Got the Envoys Great Horn and wasn’t even trying. Didn’t realize it was that rare.

...why did you have to remind me that I am still missing that damn horn.

I actually got a Toothpick drop during one of my play throughs without farming for it. The Noble Estoc was the hardest for me to get. Like 3 days of farming for a hour or more each day. I got lucky with the greathorn

I got it in like 10ish minutes when I actively farmed it. Sitting on 2 of the estocs and 3 of the long sword version too. But I have an arcane character designed for farming drops. Honestly the hardest thing I've farmed for is the whole set of armor and weapons of the cleanrot knights

I’m going to count my blessings, I did not realize the great horn was that rare. I picked it up in relatively few attempts at about 200 discovery, however I did struggle to get the watchdog greatsword. Perhaps this will provide some hope to those out there farming, drop rates are more of a suggestion when put into practice.

I got the nobles slender sword on my first kill of those guys, didn't know it was so rare

I actually got the Royal toothpick twice in the same play through, 3 hours apart, not actively farming for it and sold it because I didn’t know how rare it was
