Construct Boss-Drops Increased
The special-item drop-rates for the Yuki, Ashencourte, Sakura, and Widow's Moor construct bosses have been quadrupled (again). They now drop at an average rate of 1 in 30 times (you should expect to have to kill the Sakura Tengu about thirty times to get one female Ninja Mask, for instance, but it can vary to be more or less than that, since it is a fixed 1 in 30 random chance per kill); the previous drop rate for these items was 1 in 120.

 

Ok, I have a question... at the beginning the drop rate for rare items in the constructs was 1% and 0.5% for the Very Rare ones you get from the bosses.

Now, it is obvious that it was increased, with time but I would like to know if it was proportionally increased with the increases of the bosses.

Using that logic, a pair of gloves will be dropping 1/15 times now; however, I am not sure.

Does anybody knows if that is the case?

Thanks...

originaly i think all constructs had a 1 in 120 drop rate which was crazy, even with the larger population at the time.

then a few updates back it was increased to 1 in 60 as people were complanin that you went through 5 levels trying to get 1 drop

and now it has been droped to a 1 in 30 rate

about the percentages:

if it started at 1 percent the nit would have went

1% > 4% > 12%

although they may be diffrent that is my understanding of how they increased.

The question is, did the other drop, the Rare ones, not the Very Rare, increased as well?

To take Yuki for example, once upon a time the drop rate of the Gloves and boots was double of the one of the Mask/Bandana.

Now, did they increase the Bandan/Mask and did not change the mask and boot making it very unbalanced considering the type of item or did they increase them proportionally?
