Can someone teach me how to use the Target Rewards system?
Hi guys, I have been trying to see how the target rewards system work. I cannot get anything to show up in the target reward list in the Access info menu. Please help me understand how to get it to work, thanks.

What I did was track a Secret Garden Nano Tube blueprint, went to a grave walker fight, won it and used the reactor, did not get the Secret Garden Nano Tube blueprint, but no data showing on the Target rewards system screen. So how do you get it to work?

Target rewards are just for you to bookmark items you are after. Targetting them doesn;t increase their drop rate.

What I want to know is how do you track the items? There is a menu for you to see what items you want to acquire, so how do you make it work?

Sorry i edited my post rather than replied. If you target an item/ track an item it just bookmarks them so their location is easy to access it doesn't increase the drop rate or anything.

So Secret Garden Nano tube has 4% drop chance from AM4 grave walker.

Shows you better/ quicker ways of farming stuff.

That's not what I am asking, what I am trying to understand is how to use the "Target Rewards" Pity timer system, introduced in the new season.

Was it implemented with season 2 or during season 2 ??

I haven't seen it anywhere, unless I have missed something.

From the livestream when it was mentioned however, it said multiple of the same runs would increase the drop chance from what I remember.

According to the patch notes and youtube content streamers, it has been implemented, but no one shows how to make it work.

Access info > Acquisition Info (F on keyboard) > <G on keyboard> set Target Reward over the Mission.

You have to be over the specific mission under detailed list is why I haven't seen it.

I can only track the amorphous materials, how do you track weapon mats?

As a 120+ IQ programmer I can explain the new reward system pretty well, after studying it closely for many hours: uninstall the game, read the news for the login rewards where your target Descendant is listed, then login for couple weeks and get the character you wanr! :lunar2019piginablanket:

For example, if you've waited for Ult Bunny - you are golden right now :lunar2019coolpig:

Meanwhile I'm taking my cosmetics money to other games. This one is overly complicated.

To my knowledge, the target system in its current form is only compatible with those consumables which can drop as mission rewards. As weapon and weapon part blueprints for Ultimate Weapons generally come from amorphous material shaping, not directly from missions, it is not possible at this time to target parts or blueprints for Ultimate Weapons other than Thunder Cage, The Last Dagger, and Fallen Hope. If you need to hedge your bets while shaping your amorphous materials, (Enhanced) Shape Stabilizers are still your only recourse.

Exactly the same, you can't just farm a weapon material if tied to an amorphous material.

Hence what the new stabilisers and stabilisers are for, to increase the drop rate.

Lol, so Nexon made it seem like a super big deal, when it in fact, wasn't. Sounds about right.

I just did a test, it actually only works for Amorphe , Amorphe that we don't necessarily have, which is an advantage for outposts or specific things,
ex : part of Freyna basic

Weird, the Developer stream showed that they were allowing specific mats like a Ultimate Freyna blueprint to be targeted and tracked for Target Rewards. So they changed it or is it a bug?

This is just plainly false. When the bar fills to 100% you will get the drop for what you have targeted. It's a deterministic system so that you don't get screwed over by RNG.

You can target the Amorphous Material Patterns, you cannot target the drops from them with the target loot system. The devs had normal Freyna as a target though in the dev stream because her materials directly drop as rewards, same is true with thunder cage, fallen hope, and the last dagger.
