Black Dragon Weapons
it is still possible to get those weapons (Black Dragon GreatAxe and the sword) ive farming those dragonbros for almost an hour and the only thing i got was the shield and tons of awestones ............ using the Covetus gold +2, prisoner´s hood and tatters and watchdragon parma to increase the drop rate

Yea farming those guys sucks, the drop rate is pretty low. Maybe try the symbol of avarice if u have it instead of the prisoners hood. They do drop, just gotta be lucky

Some people have speculated that certain farming gear doesn't stack which means that you're actually lowering your chances by wearing every piece of gear (rather than the ones that increase drop rate the most). I don't know if there's really a way to test this due to how probability works.

Yeah it's too bad that item discovery is an invisible stat in ds2...

Use rusted coins and the Covetous Gold serpent ring +1. I've farmed loot that way, just not at the Dragon Shrine.

I got a silverblack sickle first try the other day. Used +2 serpent ring, prisoners tatters, symbol of avarice and watchdragon parma.

Also I know some of the wikidot and/or wikia pages state that bonfire intensity does not affect drop rates but it does. I have been going through the game with a character that uses the curved nil greatsword and because of the ng-scaling the weapon get I'm currently in ng+6.

This run I'd estimate the drop rates (wearing no item finding gear) are the equivalent to farming with max item finding gear on in ng. Maybe even more efficient. Haven't tried farming proper on this cycle cos my character is finished already and I don't need more loot but I'm sure even the most rare stuff could be farmed in a matter of a couple of runs

The only Black Dragon weapon you can't get as a normal drop is the Greatsword. Dragon Remnants Rank 3 is required.

If you haven't picked up the Serpant Ring +2 from the NG+ Gargoyles then do that asap. It is definitely worth.
I also read a speculation about the Prisoners set not synergizing with other gear and overwriting them, not using it since and it worked out so far.

I agree. That was better in Dark Souls 1, but even with that game it wasn't really know exactly how it affected your chances.

Jester's Cap provide better defense and still have the item discovery bonus.

Yeah, but it's a crime against Fashion Souls...Then again, I'm mostly speedrunning these days so I'm usually rocking the Tseldora set or naked.
