Moar drops

Nanopolymers and such drop here in normal (and boss) boxes. I'm not sure what type drop at what level however. Essen 06:11, 1 June 2008 (CDT)

• Updated. I think polymers will drop starting at LV50, but I need to confirm that first. I also need to go back and do some runs of the Rozenom missions to track what levels start dropping the metals and such. - EspioKaos 08:31, 1 June 2008 (CDT)

Board in nanopolymer (special?) boxes

Got a [B] Weld Line in the nanopolymer boxes in the secret area just before the last block. Where to put that? Essen 22:03, 28 April 2009 (CDT)

• Ah, cool. We may need to start a special box row for it. I can't remember which boxes these are, though. Where are they in the third block? - EspioKaos 22:24, 28 April 2009 (CDT)
  • See where the fence is leading to the last block? Left to it you can walk through walls and there's 4 boxes containing usually nanopolymers. Essen 03:36, 29 April 2009 (CDT)
    • Oh! I don't think I've ever noticed that. (I'm usually trying to play catch-up to the rest of the party by the time I get to that point, so I don't get to explore much. <_<) What difficulties have you gotten Nanopolymers from them? - EspioKaos 08:23, 29 April 2009 (CDT)
      • Same difficulties as other boxes, A/S (didn't do S2 yet). It just seems one of those also has the board in it. That's the problem with your special boxes concept: they aren't special. This box has all the normal box drops + this board. Essen 16:15, 29 April 2009 (CDT)
• The board would be the "special" part of it, I guess. Like the boxes behind the rubble in the final block of Scarred Planet, those can drop stuff like wood (which can drop from normal Rozenom boxes) and berries along with certain gemstones. The gemstones are the special (maybe "unique" would be a better word to use) drops. And actually, looking at that article, I see I've got the woods listed in the special box row. I might as well take that out since the normal box drops cover it just fine. There's probably a lot of similar bits of clean-up I could do across the site. D: - EspioKaos 21:57, 29 April 2009 (CDT)
  • Yes some missions contain special/unique box drops, sometimes on purpose (like here) but sometimes by error I believe. For example a box from Desert Goliath S2 can drop Ortaresin/polymer (on Moatoob!). It's confusing, what is special and what isn't? Where should food go? Not all boxes can drop food, only about 1 per block in Desert Terror, therefore Spicia is special? It's tied to the area by convention however... I think it'd be better to have a list of items that shouldn't be reported as drops (think: mats, scape dolls, that sort of stuff) and can drop anywhere (boxes or enemies) and only other drops should be reported normally. A description could be added to help people find specific items that aren't available in all boxes. Otherwise it's not that useful to list it as special if you don't know which box to check.
