The Tarnished's Discovery affects their ability to find drops from defeated enemies. Discovery has a base level of 100 for the Tarnished, and Discovery can be raised by 1 for each point of Arcane taken while leveling up. Equipment can also boost Discovery while worn. Additionally, Discovery can be boosted temporarily by using a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot consumbale item.

An item with a P% drop rate is actually found with probability as follows, if you have Discovery D:

$\begin{align} Chance &= \frac{100\left \lfloor \frac{PD}{10} \right \rfloor}{1000+ \left \lfloor \frac{PD}{10} \right \rfloor-10P} \\ &= \frac{100}{1+\frac{1000-10P}{\left \lfloor \frac{PD}{10} \right \rfloor}} \\ &= \frac{10}{\frac{1}{10}+\frac{100-P}{\left \lfloor \frac{PD}{10} \right \rfloor}} \\ &\approx \frac{100}{1+\frac{10000-100P}{PD}} \\ \end{align}$
