guardian ebony plate not dropping?

[Lycon]

Been hunting the guardian ebony odogaron like idk, 10-15 times? I got all materials of it in abundance, crafted its armor sets but the ebony plate??..... nope.... not once....

Am I doing something wrong? Ive been doing a mix of mid and high rank since they both drop it, low rank is faster kill.

I chopped off the tail in 80% of my hunts and carved it and to no avail even though the hunting guide says you can get it that way....


Am I doing something wrong here?

it's just low drop chance.
as you already know you have an additional chance of getting it when cutting off the tail and carving it. but that's all there is to it

does using a lucky voucher help? And does high/low rank matter?

Ive carved like 10 tails man....

why does this ♥♥♥♥ have such a stupid low drop rate?

Desire sensor in action. When farming for my first plate I had claws/scales in the quantities of 80s and 90s. Sometimes it be like that.

It's 7%, just gotta keep cutting more tails and killing more of them

do some investigations of it in online mode. its like 5-10 minutes each. check the reward table for alot of the silver bags since they have a chance to contain the plate.

if you ever need rubys/yewels do the same but check for it as an actual reward in the investigation.

- online is usually faster and you dont need an investiagion yourself if you join an sos flare with your prefered rewards
- if you check inverstigations on the reward table its ether decorations or bags with an ?. those bags contain crafting mats.
- sometimes the guranteed reward is ruby and not decorations or bags with ? which is listed in the reward table of the investigation

Question about all of this. Do you get more chances of items if you capture?

not more but the reward table for the rare drop changes (at least that was in all other games), so plates etc have higher chances

Kinda unknown at this point. In world carve and cap rewards had the exact same loot table while in old games and Rise carves and caps had different loot tables so sometimes it was better and sometimes it was worse. I'm guessing since this game is similar to world they probably have the same loot table so it wouldn't matter.
