Do you think that drop rates slightly improve in NG+?

Today I was farming titanite Chunks in New Londo Ruins from the Darkwraiths there.

I just recently did a lot of farming there on another character.

My first character is on NG++ and my second character is just on NG.

Both characters had an Item Discovery of 350. (Ring + 1 humanity in stock).

The difference in droprate is very noticable.

My NG++ character gets around 2-4 chunks per run. This is very consistent. I never went a run without seeing one.

My NG character gets on average 1 per run. I still haven't seen a run where I got 2, which is the minimum I get on my other characters. I have also gone several runs with getting zero chunks, which has never ever happened on my NG++ character.

I know everyone is probably going to say that it's not a big enough sample and that I'm not seeing a pattern, but I'm going to start tracking on paper chunks/dark hands/slabs per run on each character and let you guys know the results. So we can have some exact numbers to compare it to.

I have noticed a little bit of an improvement from 1st play, but i dont think it improves by a lot. I usually get more items because i have high humanity, but i drop the items because i get so many of them.

Yes it does.
I have a new game +++++++ char due to Fireless's thread now, and i've farmed 4 slabs in 3 hours from the wraiths.

Lol.... 4slabs in 3 hours, that seems like a big waste of time to me. Its a lot easier to have a good body give you slabs, but that it my opinion.

There is an honest way to do things, and there is a way fueled by exploits and cheating. And one of those ways needs to be removed, and every char involved deleted.

Also 4 slabs in 3 hours is amazing.

Yeah, I think they do. I got two tridents just when I was normally going through the Duke's Archives. I did have 10 humanity on me. It was on NG+++++, I think.

Sweet guys.

I'll see if I can get numbers to make it official.

I would like to see the wiki edited under New Game + to reflect this.

I completely agree. I'm on NG7 as well and have noticed a slight increase in drop rate but I'm also carrying a lot more humanity than i did on just NG.
