Haha, yea I don't *need* it at the moment, I just wanna have some grindey brain dead activities to do while I play remotely on the iPad before bed Here and there. Appreciate all the info! I'll go check it out!
No problem! If you want some useful drops from enemies, remember that there is a team-attack that forces enemies to drop their rarest items, as well as increasing the Exp and Gold they drop as well! If you have a particular martial artist in your team, and you manage to get them, Erik and your hero in a pepped up state, you can end up getting some good stuff from some enemies!
Don't forget though, that only three items can drop at a time, so murder a few enemies first if you can. If you are just looking to fill out your rare item list, make those last three enemies you don't know the rare item for yet.
Itemized kill can still get rares, but it's not fully guaranteed compared to having one more party member to make all drops rare.
If you are crazy lucky enough to pull that Pep off while facing Liquid Metal Slimes, and you manage to defeat one with a lucky blow, or Thunder thrust or whatever, you'll get a very, VERY powerful hat! Also a rediculous amount of EXP, that's good too.
Also, Spiked Hares are good enemies to try to grab rares from, since their drop is a bunny tail, which raises the chance of enemies dropping items, and stacks with more equipped by the active party.
Which is good, because the effect is additive. Even having one would turn a 0.8% into a 1.8%, so it's a good thing to keep on for normal encounters!
