It has been speculated that the drops don't come from the boss, but from some hidden mob down at the bottom of the boat (which we can see because some area-damage skills hit it), which is unkillable by itself but dies after the boss dies. If that is the case, personal drop multipliers won't apply to that mob, since you never hit it. (But a 2x drop event would apply)
God, the Hit boxes for Livy such ass. I can only kill him on my Zero if I dash to the bottom right corner so all my attacks hit, which is annoying to do.
It's obvious Livy himself isn't dropping stuff cause his hitbox is centered outside the boat, and unlike the Coral Reefs, he doesn't drop his items outside the boat.
Whether personal droprate buffs work, I have no idea. What I can say is that since the nerf I've gone to Rien daily (just using Big Spider) and never had an equip.
pre-Unleashed shadower's Taunt skill increase drop/exp wouldn't apply if Taunt killed the monster. then juxtaposed demon slayer's Demon Cry, multi line skill, so the skill could kill a monster, but the first line damage would apply the bonus.
i dont know when the current postRED drop mechanics activate. i think im gonna ask nexon staff for official changelogs on back end modifications. who knows, we may get good insight into unknown factors.
sweetwater does not have base attack, so one scroll will be waste putting (gollux 90%) attack on the pieces before chaosing. in addition to losing a slot, you lose the transpose extra star. a transposed item will have its star count reduced by 1.
transposing may be a crapshoot, but i still think its worth the effort. ultimately, the best pieces for transpose, are overlapped with tyrant equips > shoe,cape,weapon, and hat (glove). fafnir top/bot are cheap at the moment, and two piece is stronger than one overall. I still perfer dojo gloves, but if/when nexon releases 15 star, and, if/when i have tyrant cape, glove, shoe, will transpose 15star tyrant into sweetwater.
[EDIT]: Does scissor'd anvil still give +1 tradecount? there are alleged hot patch claims that are hard to prove without video
A bit of a change in topic, but has anyone figured out the best way to farm denaros yet, supposing you have 40+ denaros and have unlocked every region? i need to transpose my hat but two tries a day is so slow :T
But there's also the matter of how many runs to do at which location, too. Every port in the maple world offers at least one item with a 20% profit margin as opposed to 10%... I get about 8 coins on average for a herb town run, but I only get 7 for both rien and lith... Would it be best to do one herb town trip and fill the rest with rosa?
sort of, yes. not including bonuses for "shortening the trip" the *static value of 8 trips to Luna, (12 Energy per trip) (4 Denero profit) (~90 seconds per trip) has the largest return. (+32 per day)
*Note: Conducting a (cost = 10De) trade will give +1De profit more than conducting TWO (cost = 5De) trades.
EDIT
Observed data from (cost = 5De) soaps
[cost 10] 10x dolce (3ea) + 30De )60sec) 10 min
[cost 12] 8x luna (4ea) + 32De (90sec) 12 mins
[cost 15] 6x rosa (4ea) + 24De (2min) 12 mins
[cost 25] 4x herb (5ea) + 20De (4min) 16 mins
[cost 30] 3x rein (5ea) + 15De (5min) 15mins
[cost 40] 2x lith (5ea) + (7mins) 14mins
i didnt bother trying to mix/match combinations, since hunting boss drops =/= farming De.

I just do Rosa with a single 10 energy sail(forgot the name of the port).
I transpose 2 times a day with this method, making sure to never go under 10 coins.
