what is the diffrence between Covetous Silver Serpent Ring and Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +1

[Roboter26]

I know it sound stupid, but does it give me more souls?

[piss drinka (real (no fake))]

Yes, rings with +1, +2 , +3 have stronger effects

[Roboter26]

ok thank you

[Ghost Okkotsu]

The covetous silver serpent ring + 1, to have less effect than the standard,thank you for your ask.

[Raiden]

I think it was something along the lines of 10%, 15%, 20% and finally 30%
Either that or +1-2 is a very, very small increase and +3 is 20%

[Ghost Okkotsu]

+1 = less souls than the normal ring. +2 = less souls than the previous one (+1)

I just tested this in NG+10 at the High Wall of Lothric bonfire. My test subject is the crossbow enemy that's sitting against a wall and on a raised platform.

* Without Silver Serpent Ring+3: 192 souls
* With Silver Serpent Ring+3: 259 souls

Now 259 is approximately 1.348958 times more than 192, correct to 6 decimal places. Round off to 2 decimal places so 259 is 35% more than 192.

Edit: I should add that I killed my test subject in 2 hits. If you one-shot an enemy, you would get more souls than if you kill the enemy with more than one hit.

does this effect also get stronger with the shield?

No. Upgrading the Shield of Want does not increase the amount of souls you would get from fallen enemies. The same applies to the Mendicant's Staff.

[Roboter26]

ok

[Rosario]

If you mean does the effect of the ring stack with the shield, yes. If you mean does leveling the shield up the souls absorbed with the shield equipped, no. Same with the Staff, and wearing a mimic head.
