I just went online to collect some more souvenirs of reprisal and i can confirm after the latest update the drop rate has been massively increased, so please ignore the rarity emphasised in my previous post. After less than half an hour of solid grinding i had the 4 remaining souvenirs i needed to donate to the darkmoon blade covenant, and i saw one more fall off the edge of the map.
I don't know if this is just pure chance but when i used to farm this item it took me a lot of runs before i even found one, and in just one run earlier i found 3! Prior to the update i hadn't heard of 3 dropping in a single run anywhere on the internet so something has obviously been changed.
In case you're wondering how to check if you have the latest update the easiest way is to visit a bonfire and see whether the required amount of souls to your next level are displayed (they will be highlighted in red if you don't have enough). If you can see that text in your game it means you have the latest update installed. You have to use this method because the update doesn't show the conventional 'update' screen when you put the game into the disc tray and launch it.
Thanks a lot to From Software for making this pain staking grind a lot easier. I'm not sure whether the update will automatically install for Xbox live silver customers but if not I would definitely recommend at least connecting to Xbox live to find out, because this will seriously save you a lot of hours.
