Trying to get "collector" achievement

[dariukelis]

So i've done everything on the progress list except the item found one, so far it's on 71/91. I've been killing mobs with my clover ring and even checking every map multiple times. And even if each enemy has a super secret item that they drop i don't think that would be enough to get all the items. So i feel like i am missing something pretty big

[dariukelis]

Also, it seems that something is wrong with the drops, cause i got 43 zweihanders and 0 sunglasses. 29 simple bows 6 greens cloaks and 0 green boots. 32 popcorn hats 1 cotton swab and 0 red boots. I was with the clover ring (+10 luck) the whole time.

[dariukelis]

After leveling up the luck to 5 and equipping the clover ring, the enemies which had dropped items 100% of the time, now don't drop items at all. so i am afraid that i messed my collector achievement by leveling luck up.

I experienced this also, oddity of levelling up luck leading to less or no drops whatsoever. Usually this would be where I would check a wiki to see if I am going crazy with no drops after 30 mins so of grinding. Unequipping the ring seemed to fix it but I am unsure where the sweet spot is for ideal drop rates, depending on how they are calculated it may be the case that different luck stats would be better for grinding different items, I vaguely remember a similar quirk in Demon's Souls iirc. In any case I am having so much more luck with a luck stat of 4 than I was with a luck stat of 14.

Your drop rates also sound whack, I got 1 Zweihander and 1 Sunglasses. 3 simple bows, 1 green cloak, and 1 ranger boots (the green boots as you describe). 2 cotton swabs, 3 popcorn hats, 0 red boots. I only found the clover and equipped the ring recently after beating the game, although most of my grinding was with it equipped, the bulk of my drops were with it unequipped.

I also only have 65/91 items found and am at a loss for where at least 20 of those items would even be besides grinding for hours on an enemy for an amulet they may drop that I don't even know exists. There is also the consumable tab in the inventory that I never have had any items in, so maybe there is a whole element of the game I am missing. Only major unexplored thing I can think of besides grinding is that frog saying come back to him when I am smarter, on account of doing a pure strength build I don't have any stats in magic.

Played a bit more tonight and managed to get up to 80/91*, here is my inventory at this point, if you don't have anything on my list just ask and I will try to recall where I got it from. Plus I suppose if you see anything on here that you have but I don't have, I would appreciate it if you let me know, since I am running out of enemies to grind lol.

I expect the last 11 items will be an acorn hat, maybe some boots I missed, amulets that aren't visible on the enemy model so I assumed I had finished grinding for their equipment, and maybe some consumables (if they exist).

*Have since edited this list to reflect the most recent updates, 87/91.

Sorry for the late reply, gave up after i increased luck. So from what i can see, you are still missing the acorn hat, bee amulet, archer ring. The things i am missing is the dark wizard set, some snail hats, iron sword skewer, slimy knife, magic tome, all except wizard; leather; crappy boots, charge amulet and of course, the sunglasses. I'm 73/91

[Toddsnegh]

I could have sworn the bees didn't drop anything with the amount of times I had killed them. Ty for the feedback!

In terms of the things you have yet to get:

The dark wizard is in the worm cave, early in the game, and will drop their set, including the magic tome.

The snail hats are in the pineapple slices can, dropped by the snails.

The "iron sword skewer" is a typo, I mean to say iron sword, skewer, as two items. In any case, the iron sword is a common drop from biped bugs wielding it, and the skewer can be gotten from the green locust boss.

The slimy knife and the crappy boots (I think the boots as well, otherwise maybe common biped bugs) can be dropped by common maggots.

The charge amulet and sunglasses are both dropped by the zweihander bug.

I can't recall where I got the leather boots from but considering they were the first boots I found I would expect they are a common drop from a biped bug, or an item on the ground somewhere.

Hope that helps!

Played some more and got up to 85/91. The new five are the 3 as you mentioned, bee amulet, archer ring, and acorn helmet. The other two I got were a heavy amulet that was dropped from the biped bug with club, or maybe it was the adjacent one with the shield and pistachio helmet, dropped from the large ant guards, right outside the ant boss door. I will amend the list with a new comment with everything when I get 91/91

Not sure what is left at this stage. Going to have to systematically grind every unique enemy from here at this point, there is likely some amulets/rings I missed, it is quite tedious but I feel so close.

wow, for how long have you grinded? also what is your luck and are you wearing the clover ring?

I only have 10 hours of playtime, and about 3ish hours would’ve been the time to complete the game. I have just been continuing along the same file since then, although I wouldn’t say that means 7 hours have necessarily been spent grinding as there were a couple unexplored areas and items on the ground I missed here and there. At least 5 hours grinding though.

I have 4 luck and am hazardous to level it anymore in case the calculations for drops get borked. 90% of the time I don’t wear the clover ring, but, when I hit a dry run I will grind for 10 minutes while wearing it just in case I get a different drop. Nothing has come of it especially so far.

im at 85/91, 10 luck no clover ring, haven't figured out where to get the boots of speed. Also found that the bug with the wooden club and the acorn shield drops a katana

[Toddsnegh]

Ty for your comment, I haven't played since my last comment due to the tedium of the grind.

The boots of speed are the pink boots dropped by the teaspoon + popcorn hat bug in Big Fence.

Can confirm the katana is dropped by that bug you mentioned. Quite disheartening that the remainder of things to find will, I expect, similarly be things that aren't visible on the enemy's model. I am at 86/91 now.

Right now the only item I have that I don't see mentioned here is the 'Scimitar' dropped by the bug in the can outside the big snails room. However, I don't see many mentioned here that I don't have, mainly just Bee amulet, and 'Red Boots', however, I'm at 85/91 myself so im assuming the only difference between our lists are the weapon and the amulet with 'red boots' (im assuming) being boots of speed. So with your directions i can get to 86, but that still leaves 5 unaccounted for items. Any advice appreciated, will update if I find new items.

Ty for your comment, slowly getting there.

If you haven't managed to find them, the bee amulet drops from bees, I grinded the ones in the big tree, leading up to the final boss. The "red boots", or what I believe you are referencing are the boots of speed, can be dropped by both the popcorn hat bug and the scimitar bug.

This should put us both at 87/91. It seems the best strat to finding more equipment is to grind biped bugs, the scimitar was one I genuinely missed as it was visible as the weapon the bug is wielding, but it is possible that a bug can drop an amulet, ring, or even weapon that we don't know but it just has a low drop rate. Worth mentioning I have found that worms, mosquitoes, and spiders never drop anything, so that at least slims the candidates.

[Zilexion]

Hm, I'm not entirely sure where I went wrong in my counting, I already had the boots of speed, and I was able to grind out a bee amulet. but i'm at 86, not 87. I thought I was going to match you, but I'm actually still one behind.

Would've been nice if we had a more granular breakdown of item completion to give some vague guidance, either by category or by area of availability.

[Toddsnegh]

I have thought of doing a big table with all the items with a reference to where you can find each item and how, but, I have not gotten round to it. I didn't expect that getting to 91/91 would take this long so I was putting it off until I could make a fully comprehensive guide. For now I will edit my previous comment with the long list divided by category with the updated 87 to make it easier to reference.
