List of Item Sources
This 'discussion' lists out how to obtain most of Arsenal's items:

Crafted Items:
The majority of items in Arsenal are crafted. Please refer to the Guide or a mod like Recipe Browser for information on crafting recipes, as there are simply too many to list.


Enemy-dropped Items:
Like with crafted items, it is better to use Recipe Browser to get information on enemy-dropped items.
There are some noteworthy drops, those being;
  • BlockCrusader's Set & Blockchain: Has a 1/300 chance to appear from any Hardmode Boss's (Except Queen Slime) Treasure Bag, similar to vanilla Developer Sets.

  • Jewel of Legends: Drops from the Moon Lord only in Legendary (Master Mode) Get Fixed Boi worlds. This is a special crafting material used to upgrade the Waffle's Iron (GFB-exclusive weapon) and its Arsenal counterparts.

  • Master Mode items: The mod has a special Master Mode weapon/item drop for each boss. By default these have a 1/3 drop rate in Master Mode, but this can be adjusted via. config to be more/less common, and/or drop in Expert Mode as well.


Chest-exclusive Items:
  • Energized Staff: Found in Granite Chests. Also sold by Skeletron Merchant when in a Granite cave.

  • Phalanx Staff: Found in Marble Chests. Also sold by Skeletron Merchant when in a Marble cave.

In classic mode Aurora has a 1/8 drop chance (An Arsenal weapon is guaranteed to drop, and there are 8). I just noticed Moon Bite actually doesn't drop from ML in classic. I guess I made such a change pre-emptivley as Moon Bite will be removed when tML and Arsenal finally port to 1.4.5 when that's out (Since that update will have an official ML-themed tentacle whip).

In Expert mode, both whips can drop at roughly 1/12 odds (1/6 to get either/or);
Each of the 4 classes has a 25% chance to get a weapon of that class; among those each weapon has an equal chance to drop. Due to there currently being 3 ML summoner drops (The whips and Dark Mirror), each has a 1/3 chance to drop if summon is chosen as the weapon class to drop.

By default it is possible to shimmer between the Void Mirror and Aurora. Meaning that with Shimmer, your odds of getting a whip are roughly 1/4 regardless of difficulty.
However, this also means Moon Bite is - unintentionally - unobtainable in Classic...

The Cyborg sells it once Martian Madness has been beaten.
You may have missed it in the list as it's grouped alongside Ricochet in the same line, since they have the same sell condition (Took me a few passes to notice myself lol)
