Yellowboze Yellow Barrier

[Ketchup345]

I'm using a Yellowboze to pipe a circle of Canadine and a Canane in Normal, being careful not to kill too many Canadines or the Canane. I know the Normal drop % of the Canadine is 33% but whenever I kill one, nothing drops.
I'm killing 4 at a time, so at least 1 enemy should drop something even if its not what i'm looking for. Anyone have any clues why I'm not finding any items?
If it helps, I'm using a level 6 Zonde to kill them.
Can you only get items once?

I think that 33% is screwed up. Just think about all the Canadines (sp) in the Mines. Materials and Yellow Barriers, etc, would be totally bountiful...
Plus I'm sure there is a much higher chance for more common things to drop (Enlightening, I know, but the obvious must be stated).
My advice is just to keep leveling up and trying to find one! Maybe get to Hard mode and see if that'd be better.

That 33% drop rate is for the enemy actually dropping something, not dropping its special drop.

Too bad Yellowboze can only find the Yellow Barrier from Normal Canadines. The drop rate in Normal must be wrong, for me its less than 10%. At least my Zonde can take them out in one hit, so each pipe is only taking seconds. I'm not even getting enough Meseta from them to use the Hospital when needed, about once every 6 pipes.

Right, but sadly, I think its lower than that. Check the post I made right above this one.

I think what the problem is, is that you're killing the same enemy over and over again and once you kill it the first time, the game registers that and won't drop any items afterwards.

Thats what I was thinking until one of them dropped 40 Meseta as I was trying to pick diferrent ones off than the pipe before.

Hmm... maybe they can drop later on. But, a drop rate of 33% doesn't mean that one will drop an item followed by 3 that won't drop one. You could have a long string of no drops before finally having a drop.
