On my main, I have nearly full 5* equips now (deadly virulisk helm / coat, and levi blade, as well as wise owlite shield / drake scale shield) and a bunch of other weps / bombs.
Anyways, in all the descents I've made downwards I think I've only ever had 1 item drop? It was in t2 and I found an Autogun. I don't know if a mob dropped it, or if it was somewhere else, so I was hoping for some insight. Where did this come from? How often should items be dropping? I've solo'd in the ballpark of 150-200 t2's / t3's and broken every box and never noticed anything in them... help?
Yeah, it is quite rare indeed that an item box contains an item. Farming for it is not possible, as it seems.
