Multiple questions (where to get gear, and guild question)
Few questions from a newb.
1: My friend wants an angelic raiment, where am I going to find the recipe to make this? The wiki doesn't say. I'm assuming I wont just find it in a shop either.
2: I see plenty of recipes in stores, but is it possible to get them as drops from chests/monsters?
3: I started a guild, went to the guild hall...and I see an alchemy bench, but no NPCs. The Wiki says a guild hall should have NPCs too. Is it possible to upgrade the guild hall somehow? More members? Energy? Right now my guild only has 4 members.
4: When the wiki says that a "*monster type* series" drops an item, does that mean every monster in that series has a chance to drop the item? I assume yes, but I never seem to get any of what I want :/
S'all I got for now.

I happend to get a slime slasher out of a treasure box on sunday or monday(can't really recall), don't know if that was the end of them though. Is there any confirmation on this out there.

Oddly enough, I've seen several people get Super Slime slasher, slime slashers outta treasure boxes. Nothing else though.
I got a Zapper out of a treasure box today.

The best way to get a recipe you want is to just hop to Tier 2 and run to Depth 13 repeatedly, though this may not be the most cost-effective method. Also, I got a slime shield out of a green box yesterday :P
Thanks for all the answers Espeonage, and i'll keep that in mind slatecity.
Guess I can start lookin' for her Angelic raiment after work. Woot.

- You may come across the recipe at a Clockwork Terminal, the midpoint of a Tier. There, Basil sells an assortment of recipes, that usually changes each time you arrive at a Terminal. It is probably more likely to find it in Tier 2, but in any case, you just have to hope Basil has it in stock when you reach him.
2: I see plenty of recipes in stores, but is it possible to get them as drops from chests/monsters?
- There used to be the odd equipment drop from red boxes, but those are surely gone by now. Certain, rare monsters, such as Tortodrones and Love Puppies, drop items such as the Tortoise Shield and a health-increasing Trinket, respectively. As for finding the recipes themselves at random; no.
3: I started a guild, went to the guild hall...and I see an alchemy bench, but no NPCs. The Wiki says a guild hall should have NPCs too. Is it possible to upgrade the guild hall somehow? More members? Energy? Right now my guild only has 4 members.
- The wiki is rather outdated, having been and being pieced together by the community, as well as all the [stark] changes certain elements of the game have undergone over the weeks past.
Guild Halls used to have Trinket and Slot Upgrade vendors, but they are no longer present. I'm sure Guild Halls will see many additions/new features in the near future, however.
4: When the wiki says that a "*monster type* series" drops an item, does that mean every monster in that series has a chance to drop the item? I assume yes, but I never seem to get any of what I want
- Themed-monsters are the ones who drop the thematic materials, i.e. Ash Tail Wolvers dropping Blaze Peppers. These sort of material drops from them are rarer, likely seeing more Sharp Fangs or so. To expand on that, all Wolvers should have a chance of dropping Sharp Fangs.
