New (possible) theory about break parts: Targeted Breaks

i was experimenting, and it seemed that this may be true (need others to confirm):

breaking ONE specific part seemed to increase a specific drop for me.. and i mean ONLY breaking that specific boss part and nothing else; only works on bosses with more than 1 break point)
i happen to realise this when i was figuring out how to solo break boss parts with my breaker and tested the hypothesis with the two bosses below (i wanted alto ruin bow appearance on my FW bow) and realised that the back leg was the same look as the bow, front leg was the same as the shield, head looked like golemet. so technically, if i break only 1 part, i SHOULD get the specific part right?
i tried and it seemed that the corresponding parts did increase drop rate of the specific part.
i went on to try eerie crystal, and found that if i wanted to target black miasma, the back crystal break gave me black miasma

i.e. back break point of eerie crystal seemed to drop more black miasma for me (i ONLY BREAK that one part and finish boss off)
i.e. back leg break of excavated golem seemed to drop alto ruin bow more often (i ONLY BREAK that one part and finish boss off)

i wonder if its possible to target specific break points to farm a particular item... i did this for eerie and got my libra appearance within a short time simply by targeting the small black crystal break at the back (and ONLY breaking that)

anyone can test and confirm?

 

Nice ...but as ive experience... alto and eerie is way way way far to compared...also eerie is more superior snob giving drops than Decel .... ive party alot and break alot 3 times on eerie but still no luck on armor and xtal.. got 7 miasma so far... though i might try your way later in any boss but not sure in eerie.

 

Very interesting. I must try this.
In reality, when i was farming eering crystals, i thought about this. That maybe we could do something during the combat to increase drop rate.
I'll post if i notice a difference. But i'll play only in about 7h.

 

I did a new test this time playing my main, my alt and my wife's char (3 devices) to do eerie. I got my alt to bless (support rank) my wife's char to dps (attacker rank) and my main to break (breaker rank).
Same thing, I only broke small crystal at the back.. got mostly black miasma and occasional black crystal fragment. Of course since all the chars belong to me, all the black miasma became mine.. hahaha got 7 black miasma in 4 runs XD

I hope I didn't just lower the value of black miasma with this discovery

If this proves true for the other bosses, it may just revolutionise boss farming for specific drops!

 

I have 18 and i don't know what to do with then.
I try to sell then, but no one wants then.

 

there's already a thread about this
http://toramonline.com/index.php?th...reaks-to-break-or-not-to-break.827/#post-6672

 

Breaking specific parts do increase drop rate, it is confirmed, example: if you will break horns of the minotaur chances of dropping staff will increase, breaking hands of the ruin's golem will increase chances of dropping golem arms, breaking astol's tail increases drop rate of its magic device...

 

Good to know.
I only would like to know what increase the drop of the crystal armor... But it will drop, one day...
But after almost 800 fights, i should have got it, maybe.
Returning to subject. This is interesting for the persons who only do boss fights to acquire a certain object.

 

its miasma usefull? i got 40++ of them try to sell for sometimes, but nobody want, end up process it into mat

 

ah that's cool, so does my thread serves to confirm the one written?
if thatsthe case anyone wants to try breaking astol's head ONLY for a chance at crystal wings?

 

I don't mind taking 3.. to make another libra appearance item for my other char's staff XD

 

astols head is for magic device and the chest/tail is for the aqua armor

 

There was a buyer yesterday who needs miasma for 3k... but i ignore him... so if someone likes to buy... grab it just dont give him 2... i think rainbow and miasma are same rare to drop but not in the same boss strenght.. thats why players sell rainbow expnsive...

 

Anyone Remembr old school Nintendo where you had to spam buttons in a certain order to unlock a combo or something? It was like, up up down left right up left down.... Anyhow I wonder on bosses with multiple breakable parts if there is a particular order to break the parts that helps? Say for Ooze boss perhaps left arm, eyes, right arm....

 

hmm its an interesting thought, but i dont think the break system is like that at the moment..

 

I don't think breaking parts affect specific item drop, the only fact i know is that it increases drop rate... it's entirely random for me, had ooze party with no part breaks coz of overpowered mages (ahaha) but i got the crystal

 

Mmm.. The breaking system is actually underuse. Basically, you do have to break a boss fully in order to receive certain items. It's not about the specific parts. It's about the full break.

 

I don't think so. I tried to get a good ooze shield and I figured out that I need to break his left hand.
In every round I broke that hand and in every round I got another ooze shield (never staff, helmet).
I did this for about an hour, every time a shield.

 

It's all about luck.

 

I concur/agree with norcelia, bosses with multiple breaks seem to have this trend

My findings:
So far I've tested only focusing on breaking that one specific part for 10 rounds each:
excavated golem (head:golemet, back leg:bow, front leg:shield)
eerie xstal (left break:irogeon, right break:hemitite, small gem:black miasma)
astol (body: aqua garb; head:unconfirmed atm (I'm assuming xstal wings; drop rate for xstal wings is v low)
The rationale for this is simple, IF the drops are tied to specific breaks, you can target the drop you want more. Imagine if you break all three, and can only receive 1 drop as a reward, you only have 1/3 chance at the item.

As for boss xstals, I don't think it's tied to a specific break. So i only agree on your post regarding boss xstals

If this comment is referring to the gaming CHALLENGE (for max fun) of a full break, I agree on this comment.
But this thread is a discussion on whether targeting specific breaks gives you what you want. The concept for this thread is to help players who are keen to hunt specific items, and increase chances for that particular drop. It's up to the reader if they want to stick to FULL BREAK (random chances of listed items) or SPECIFIC BREAK (which this thread aims to suggest). Just don't wave it off as unimportant (as some forum posters have commented, there seem to be a link to a specific part and it's drop)
Just in case you (Eztreme) misunderstand me as rebutting you, I apologise! It's a reply to the community (as a whole) watching this thread
