The conditions for certain Notorious Monsters to appear, as well as certain treasure drops, have been adjusted in the following manner:

- The method for obtaining the items listed below has been adjusted.
The monsters that dropped these items now have a chance of dropping an EX/Rare item with the exact same attributes.

Fuma Kyahan/Speed Belt/Ochiudo's Kote/Strider Boots/Healing Staff/Eurytos' Bow/Cross-Counters

- The Notorious Monsters listed below now require a certain item to be traded in a certain location in order to appear.

Big Bomb/Alkyoneus/Pallas/Sozu Rogberry/Ullikummi

- The items listed below can now be obtained through different methods.

Cassie Earring/Serket Ring/Juggernaut
*The Juggernaut will still also drop from the usual monster, but at a lower probability.

- The “Lock of Siren's Hair” will be removed from the treasure dropped by the following Notorious Monsters.

Voll the Sharkfinned/Zuug the Shoreleaper/Pahh the Gullcaller/Worr the Clawfisted
*In accordance with this change, the drop rate of this item from monsters other than the four mentioned above will be increased.

- An item to replace the “Kraken Club” has been added to the treasure dropped by the “Lord of Onzozo.”

- Certain items obtained from the Notorious Monsters holding the “Virtues” in Lumoria will now drop with 100% probability.



So how about that. SE seems to be listening to us.


Edit: I wonder if the mobs will still drop the normal items along with the Ra/Ex. Like if you get Fuma's to drop, they're Ra/Ex but then another time you get the drop they aren't... That kinda seems pointless but the info doesn't specify.

Also, I wonder if the Serket and Cassie will still drop their items... Hmm.

Kudos for the Ulli update though.

i think by "A chance to drop" its making the distinction that the only drop from those NMs is now rare/ex, but the drop rate is not 100%.

Those NMs will NOT drop the sellable versions, and my guess would be they will be placed into some less popular BCNM/KSNMs similar to peacock charm and kraken club etc.

ROFL the only reason they are starting to listen is because they realize that they only have like 4 people that still play the game and if they dont listen its Game Over.

So what drops the hair now?

And in a month or 2 I'll go camp the new Ra/Ex stuff.
Anyone here remember the VE and LL patch mobs of people camping then.
Now you can walk by and see LL wandering around killing random noobies.

I didn't know they were changing the O. Kotes, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. On the one hand I'm glad they did it, but on the other I'm kinda pissed...

I was camping Mee Deggi for about the last two weeks before the update, but every time he showed up it would either get claimed by an RMT or a legit player that already had a pair or two in his bazaar to begin with...

I logged in after that hellish update and found only 5 people in Oztroja, one of which was actually in Deggi's area. (A RNG/THF whom I believe was AFK as she didn't move around at all) I ran around the platform for about an hour nailing what yagudo I could with my bow, and after a while I found Mee Deggi playing around in the water. I quickly picked him off and was rewarded with what I think was the first pair of rare/ex O. Kotes on the server.

So yay to me for finally getting some better gloves, and damn you SE for making it so that I can't sell them when I get something better! >.<

lol, sounds like they're making it too easy now.

The items aren't going to seem nearly as cool once like, 1000x as many people as before the update have them.

I'm honestly disappointed. lol
