How many times have you encountered a boosted enemy, only to have it drop Meseta or a Photon Drop?

Every boosted enemy I have encountered, it has dropped nothing but PD's or Meseta. No red boxes whatsoever.

By my count, I have seen 130 boosted enemies. Just over half of them have been online in Access Field mode.


These ridiculous drop rates are really killing me =(

From boosted rare enemies I've gotten a Divine/Power. From other boosted enemies I have no clue, but I haven't gotten anything else noteworthy that I can think of. I'm curious to know how much mutations even increase the drop rate.

Today i got a Phantasma Gauntlet from a Boosted Zaphobos Dyna, I wanted the Yonohate In obviously, but my gauntlet has some nice %'s on it, so i'm content.

Also, I saw a boosted Derreo last night. That treasure box had 3 nathaniels in it.

Yeah, but in SH, what most boosted hostiles drop aren't just super rares like Luzparias, Nemesis or so, they're ultra rares and all so expect some drop annoyance...

I get crud most of the time. Only halfway decent thing (to me at least) that I've had drop from a boosted beasty was my PP Recovery Lv3 i got from a boosted Phobos Dyna when I was looking for the Pizza Shop.

Really? Doesnt that mean you would have basically every rare?

If what your saying is true it means you have seen every boosted drop from the Dark Shrine like: Dioskuroi, Twin Psychoguns, Lavis Kanon, Miyabisen, Eclipse Star, Phantasma Gauntlet and Yasminkov M109. And thats just for Dark Shrine, if you have gotten the boosted drop for every enemy except those 2 then you must be loaded, mabye im misunderstanding.

I love when people do this when I play on words, its so fun. When I said every boosted I'VE seen, you naturally think I've seen every boosted monster. lol

I just realized Divine/Power IS it's boosted drop. *facepalm*

Has anyone seen any boosted hostiles in the tower?

Kirukia

Yeah boosted hostiles appear in tower, but I don't think it's as common, at least from experience.

That's kinda odd. I can't go one run of any area without a boosted hostile. but I havent seen one in my 4 runs of the tower.

I could be mistaken, but I believe I've seen a few. I'm in tower now if I see one I'll tell you.

i usually see 1-2 boosted hostiles a run(In areas), But I don't really remember seeing any boosted hostiles in my 3 tower runs so far, Although I get Rappy rooms like every 20 floors lol.

It's impossible to find Boosted enemies in the Eternal Tower.

Yeah I wasn't sure if I was right.
Btw I just found 5 rappies.
I found a soul and tech save 3. Chaos I'm going to collect souls for you. *wields white disaster*

In the drop charts, when it lists the item as boosted, does that mean the item can only drop if the monster is boosted, that it raises the chances significantly or that the chances are minuscule unless the monster is boosted?

Chaos Rappy

It means that's the item that has a higher rate of dropping when the enemy is Boosted (although that doesn't mean that's the ONLY thing it can drop from its droplist when it's boosted, obviously).

I never get the rarer items from boosted, ever. But have gotten rare items. Divine/Mind, 2 Divine/Swifts PP Recov lvl 4 Tech Save 3 PA Save 3... weird...

I bet that boosted enemies have something like double the chance to drop the boosted item, however 1/10000*2 is still only 1/5000 (those numbers are all made up).

Idk, What you mean by impossable to find boosted eneimes in et, I could swear i have seen them.

I remember hearing a rumor that all hostiles were "boosted" in the later floors of ET (though maybe they were just mistaken by their higher stats)
Even if they were, I don't think that would help much since you're playing in a mission offline.

It is impossible to find them, point blank. As the above poster said, you were probably mistaken with a monster that was simply buffed due to being higher up in the floors, because you cannot find Boosted enemies in the Eternal Tower.
