The total buff, to simplify future calculations, would be 1650÷1000= 1.65 (165%) so instead of two calculations just multiply: (number of souls dropped)*1.65=(increased number of souls gained by buff. If an enemy that drops 1000 souls is killed, the number of souls gained will be 1000*1.10=1100 and then 1100*1.50=1650. As an example, say you have equipped the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring (10% buff or a multiplier of 1.10) and the Symbol Avarice (50% or 1.50). The buff works by multiplying the number of souls dropped by the smallest multiplier (buff) first and then multiplying the product of that calculation by the next smallest buff, etc, for all items that increase the buff. To increase soul farming, equip the Symbol of Avarice, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, Mendicant's Staff and/or Shield of Want.Īll soul farming methods can be improved by equipping the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring (10% at+1 to 35% at +3 - found before starting NG+ if you have The Ringed City DLC), the Shield of Want (20%), the Mendicant's Staff (20%), and the Symbol of Avarice (50%), which - when all pieces are equipped - will increase the total number of souls gained for killing enemies 237.60% (291.6% with CSSR+3). Farming locations in Dark Souls 3 are places where players can efficiently work for items and souls.
