To get the 20% Bonus souls. It has to be done with Meele Attacks only. I tried it with a miracle on a Infected Undead.(PwoA) And was granted the usually amount(482), but when I kill it with a meele attack it gives me the 20% bonus which is 577. Don't know if anyone knew this already just posting this down. Because I am grinding right now.

Re: Covetous Serpent Ring
This explains why grinding the Phalanx with WoTG was taking longer than just swiping them to death with my Furysword.

Re: Covetous Serpent Ring
Does the same apply for the Symbol of Avarice?
I'd imagine yes, but getting a confirmation is always nice.
Either way, this is a nice find. I hadn't noticed this myself.

Re: Covetous Serpent Ring
Nevermind Arrows apply the bonus, just not Magic abilites.

Re: Covetous Serpent Ring
Okay this is what I got so far.
Yes any magical/projectile do grant the Bonus 20% Soul Boost. But!!! Read this.
If it is done with a Meele attack you gain 44% bonus souls.*
Avarice + Ring = 85.11111%
I tested it with the Phalanx.
Ring + Zwei = 10080*
Ring + WotG = 8400
Avarice + Zwei = 10080*
Avarice + WotG = 8400
Avarice + Ring + Zwei = 12960
Correction on percentages were made.****

Re: Covetous Serpent Ring
This is the overkill bonus, which is an additional 20%. 'Overkill' occurs when a single hit drains 150% and more of an enemy's total health, which usually happens with backstabs and criticals.
Example: If an enemy have a total of 200HP you have to inflict 300+HP of damage in one hit, even if you have already worn its healt down. Chaining several hits doesn't count, even if the health bar shows a total damage for the combo.
There's a bit about it on the soul farming page: http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Soul+Farming

Re: Covetous Serpent Ring
Thank you. I had a feeling this was discovered. Just that I'm not mathematician nor am I well informed of the hidden bonuses. Thank you again.
