Special Drops from Boss Monsters

Post by **Mastertrek** » Wed Jun 27, 2018 6:07 pm

I really want all of them before moving on to the post-game because I already looted all places on the world including Volcano and I don't think it would be good idea to change jobs when there's only one step to victory. And I did another testing for jobs thinking that skills share to other jobs but seems like it's only for the specific job.

Yes, I think you should get them all before the post game, although that isn't required. As I recall, you cannot complete all the "record" stuff (item complete, monster map, job complete) until you do the post-game.

I know it's totally obvious that it's only possible to get 100% everything is post-game so I'm not worried. But trying to get all secret stuff from bosses might be easier before it unless I'd turn each boss to high Hard level. So I want to keep boss levels at low.

And I'm not sure but from what I saw bosses don't get health increase at level up. Only that they get Attack and Magic ups. But that alone is dangerous.

Tried to beat Papurum/Ultra Papurum and although I auto KO'd Papurum, but Ultra Papurum annihilated my party.

I'm not going to use ad revival at all to remain at 100% win ratio. So if I'll die I restart the game and go to training.

And I'm getting frustrated at secret drops. Who made that kind of stuff. Because it's only one random boss each time that might give it but also he has no guaranteed chance for it making that tedious task.

Right. Just get ready for more nasty stuff in the post-game. There are some very fun things/battles in the post-game, but also some insane puzzles and lousy design in a few places.

Edit:

I can handle anything I'm able to solve or beat in one way or another but random drops at random boss with random chance to get is just like getting multiple Zodiac Spears in Final Fantasy XII (I mean the original ps2 version. Took me around 20 hours to get 3 of them but at least there I had the knowledge of the whereabouts of it and soft-reset was easy to do.

Oh, and let's not forget that bosses aren't close to each other (that isn't really bad but I spend more time finding all bosses over and over than I fight them) and I can fight each boss once per day while it gets stronger (boss getting stronger is actually cool thing) so yeah that's how to make secret stuff totally fun and not fun at the same way.

There's only hope left to get them..

166/255 items found

I have to get at least 1 of each synthesis items and some class-only equipment from the shops. And 10 secret boss drops which is the most annoying up to now. The party average level is 57. No job changes yet.

This may not help, but I browsed through some of my notes, and noticed that most of the special drops I got came from bosses that were level 7 & 8. The random nature of the drops makes some of my notes useless, but :

Monster Dropped (for me)

Kraken Dark Knife

DragonLord Intuition Hood & Valkyrie Lance

Vice Captain (Forest Castle) Spirit Crown

Although I got all the special drops, I didn't record which monster dropped them because of the randomness.
