Bosses that drop cube often
Can you guys make a list of the bosses that drop cubes often?

@axnslicer I have killed CHT less than the other bosses I listed as I usually just kill normal HT x2. I've only killed cHT 17 times in 4 months which explains that anomaly. But yep, no cubes from 17 runs!
[quote=crazyholz]I've made a spreadsheet recording the cube drops from bosses for myself over the past 4 months.
As of today 09/08/2015:
Normal VL (33.33% chance of cube) > Czak (32.43%) > Zak (25.81%) > Ranmaru (19.74%) > Showa boss (18.18%) > Easy Magnus (11.11%) > Krexel joint with normal HT (10%) > RA (5.26%) > normal Hilla (4.76%) > easy ark (3.85%) > CHT (0%)
Each cube drop rate I recorded is per 1 boss killed.
My drop rate: 30% from HS, 200% from wolf underling familiar, 20% from greed pendant, 20% potential from ring, 19% from inner ability, (& some days I have 40% drop earrings, and 15% drop mask)[/quote]
You haven't gotten a cube from CHT in 4 months? I get a cube from him like 2-3 times a week.
Here's my list, though I haven't actually recorded my numbers so it's intuition based.

[quote=aznsoldi3r]What do you mean by Krexel joint with normal HT?[/quote]
im assuming they have the same drop rate as each other.

[quote=crazyholz]Oh I didn't make the spreadsheet for anyone else, it's mostly for my own benefit. The cube drop rates are using my own drop rate gear so of course this info is not going to be very helpful to anyone else. However, the order of bosses that drop cubes the most to the least for me might be useful to someone else, as well as the big difference in the chance of cube from the boss that drops cubes the most and the boss that drops cubes the least for me.[/quote]
Sorry for that then lol just been seeing many google spreadsheets lately and automatically assumed it was for general knowledge purposes (someone else should take on this project then haha)
[quote=icefrappe]That's very helpful and kind of you to make a spreadsheet; however, I have one suggestion because of all the drop rate increases you have access to, the cube drop rates look very misleading. For many players, drop % gear and wolf underling familiar is practically unobtainable - and the least of their worries. That said, perhaps you can adjust your rates to reflect what it would be without your drop % gear i.e. 1/3 VL cube drop rate without wolf underling is already 1/6, let alone factor in all your other drop gear.
If you have time you can always make a formula on your spreadsheet and allow yourself and other people to input their own drop % gear which will adjust cube drop rates from bosses accordingly.
Lastly, I think it was mentioned somewhere on basil here and maybe in the Nexon forums that greed pendant only affects equips drop rate. Hope I don't sound like I'm attacking you and your post ^^" just wanted to point out a few things, especially the greed pendant misnomer.[/quote]

If someone only had time to kill 1 boss, they could look at my previous post and think that it would be more worth while killing normal VL than normal hilla because there MIGHT be more of a chance of getting a cube from VL than normal hilla. But of course, for all we know, each boss could have the same chance of dropping a cube.

I'll agree they all have a random chance, but I'm guessing the drop % is higher for some bosses than others.
Yesterday I got 1 from each of my Krex runs. Which is uncommon. I'm guessing Krex only has a 10% cube drop rate.
The most common boss which gives me cubes is Cygnus. I'd guess she is up around 75% for the normal cubes, 50% for the better ones.
I have most luck with ranmaru and madman.
VL and krexel are also decent.
Chaos Zakum, Ranmaru, PB, and the Commerci bosses drop them pretty often. Chaos Horntail has the occasional cube as well.
Ranmaru
Madman Ranmaru
C.Zak
PB
Empress
Commerci bosses
All the bosses above the commerci bosses usually drop a cube for me 7/10 times during 2x. Of course other bosses have a chance to drop too. These bosses are usually where i get my daily cubes from.
Madman Ramaru, Castellan, Empress, and Pink Bean drops the most for me.
I'd put VL above the rest that I didn't list though but not as high as the ones I've listed
Not sure if some drop more often than others but every boss has a chance of dropping cubes so just go in with drop familiar + drop buffs
