Question regarding the Bandit Mantle

[AMDontDoThatPlz]

hey guys so i’ve been using the bandit mantle on high rank Great Jaffa’s and it’s obviously dropping scales and such. my question is does the rarity of the scales stack with the difficulty? like say i did a master rank Great Jaffa’s, would i get better rewards?

Yea, depending on difficulty and damage done you should get better loot.

Yeah. There are rarity levels for the dropped scales, it jumps up with each difficulty spike.

You pretty much see the regular drops from High Rank Elder Dragons against basic starter monsters in Master Rank, I.E Beautiful, Lustrous and Glimmering scales, and when you start fighting Master Rank Elder Dragons you'll find two new Master Rank only drops, the Giant Scale and the Magnificient Scale.

I don't have an exact scale on what monsters / difficulties things are locked at or what, but here's the order of Bandit Mantle / Palarang Mount and Plunder loot:

Chipped Scale, 500 Zenny, Rarity 4
Large Scale, 1000 Zenny, Rarity 4
Beautiful Scale, 2000 Zenny, Rarity 5
Lustrous Scale, 3000 Zenny, Rarity 6
Glimmering Scale, 5000 Zenny, Rarity 7
Giant Scale, 8000 Zenny, Rarity 9
Magnificient Scale, 10,000 Zenny, Rarity 10

There might be some more after these, I also don't believe a Rarity 8 version exists either (if it does I haven't seen it yet)
