8th Anniversary Box Drop Rate

I've been farming for an hour and only gotten 4...is the drop rate really this horrible? Or are there some maps that are better than others?

monster park extreme has good stuff from the bosses. I got a greed pendant. increases droprate by 20%. im going to go to MDTs in ludi with the pendant to search for boxes AND the angelic blessing ring recipe. Multitasking!

@Solar that's a nice score, I found that aliens drop them quite frequent aswell. But I guess that's only when you are in their lvl range.

@darkdragoon5: Well the drop familiar part was for if you don't have any lower level characters and you're stuck with the crappy spawn rate maps lol.

Are the boxes restricted to mobs under 11 levels and over 21 levels, or can you get them from any mob?

The drop rate for event items are always better for low levels as lower level maps have better spawn rate than the high level ones, so it helps to start a new character or train a character that isn't high level yet. Otherwise just bring out a drop rate familiar and kill as fast as you can lol.

Well, those boxes are suppose to give Empress items in the future so it's fair that the drop rate is uncommon.

Yes, they don't drop in there.

Ermm, haven't tried myself but the drop rate is more reduced then KMS.

It's quite possible. I've had 2 drop with one single attack on a mob.

But aside from that the drop rate is really low. It's going to take a while to farm them.

I opened one of the boxes. My first box was a Grand Maple Level 99 1H sword.

Are you fighting things no more than 11 levels lower than?
