tips on getting mightmender?

[Gyro]

I'm going to grind out online conquests and defenses, but does anyone remember how they got the hammer with might on ranged hit aka mightmender?

Equipment names, effects, and requirements as far as I remember are all random. So you'll have to really grind out the weapons and hope you get the bow/hammer with gain might per hit effect then you'll have to unlock it by finishing its requirements and hope you end up with the same name.

I believe the preset names are limited and you're bound to end up with the name mightmender sooner or later.

The type of enemy you kill and, more importantly, the conditions of their death/method you kill them in all adjust what kinds of rares can or will drop from that captain. It's not fully random.

Wrathgiver, for example, is more likely to drop when you finish a captain by executing (ground executions, such as Fury, count!) them while you have a full wrath bar and they don't have any elemental effects currently on them (elemental effects tend to *strongly* weight drops towards things that have to do with that element).

While the rares ("names") are indeed a finite list and not procedurally generated, there's nothing stopping the same rare from dropping multiple times in a playthrough. I've got something like 4-5 copies of some of the most prolific ones (because clearing my inventory is a bit of a chore :P).


Unfortunately, I don't know offhand what conditions Mightmender looks for when dropping. Probably involves killing captains with ranged attacks while your might is either full or very low. But that's just a blind guess

Well, that's a nice piece of info. Thanks Goblin. I guess I just didn't pay that much attention to the weapon names and detail when I kill a Captain and just though that items were given out randomly.

The answer is to kill one that is immune to execution. The kill method requires you to kill them with full might. That is how I got mightmender. Any other tips are ofcourse welcome within this thread.
