[Guide] Monster Level List

[BadPotato]

oops and I even din't the ";"
... I was confuse

An another thing: There no affinity element according our characther, right? So using a Thunder Rune piece fragment insthead of a Fire Rune piece won't made any difference against a monster with no particuliar weakness/strong.. and same thing with from the magic runes.. like Flaming Arrows(100DMG vs 1) and Rainstorm(100DMG vs ALL) against only one empire soldier shoud make no diffrence?

just want to 100% be sure

You are right on all cases

The loot table on the Bestiary has be updated.

All loot items now list their actual loot percentage below the line, as they do in S2. The loot system works a bit different in this game, but it doesn't matter to the player at all as you have no influence. These are the final percentages.

What the game does is run through each enemy in the formation in order. For each one, it randomly selects one of the three drops to test. At that point, the chance of the drop triggering is X/100. So the actual chance of any drop occurring for a given enemy is, at most, 1/3 if the chance assigned to the selected slot is 100/100. Given this, the chance of getting a Medicine from any Holly Boy on the way to Leknaat's is approximately 2.67%, and the chance of a Robe is 2%.

It's free to pick drops that are zero, and just skips even checking the chance at that point. So your enemy with only 1 drop set is fairly unlikely to drop right from the off.

Possibly it's better to just capture the chances out of 100 and explain that it only applies if that drop is even selected for the enemy. I don't know, it's kind of weird and a little complicated to explain to regular gamers.
