Item Name & Image	Effect on Item Discovery	Location
Large Sword of Searching	Doubles player's current item discovery. For this to work, the player must equip the sword in their left/off hand. The player must also have the item in their current off hand. If it is in the reserve/second offhand slot, you will not receive the bonus.	Obtain a Scimitar from the Gates of Boletaria or purchase one from Graverobber Blige. Alternatively, you could use a pair of Claws obtained from either the Prison of Hope, or when dropped by an Imperial Spy. Upgrade the Scimitar/Claws to `+7`, but no higher! Defeat the Old Hero to obtain the Hero Demon Soul. Visit Blacksmith Ed, using the acquired Boss Soul on the upgraded Claws to obtain the sword.
Providential Ring	Raises player's item discovery by a small amount.	Can be selected as a Starting Gift when creating a new character. The only other manner in which this ring may be obtained is by trading a Large Sword of Searching crafted from a Scimitar - and only a Scimitar - to Sparkly the Crow, who is found in the Shrine of Storms.
Gold Coin	Raises player's item discovery by a small amount.	Dropped by any Fat Official (very rare drop)
