1/1 O Kote, 1/2 Sarutobi Kyahan, 1/1 Empress Hairpin, 1/1 Bounding Boots, 1/2 Vali's Bow, 1/3 Retaliators...1/13 Soboro Sukehiro, 1/16 Swift Belt.

75 THF for all of the above, sans the last two. I can't attribute it all to the TH. I usually have good luck.


I hate you....

1/35 O Kote, 0/18 Sarutobi Kyahan...

but, 1/1 Empress, 1/3 Bounding, 1/2 Swift, and 1/8 Retaliators

Dude. I'm 0/57 with Stray Mary. Forget her. I made enough money farming Sheep Skins with Wind Crystals and selling that stuff than getting her item.

I am also 0/157 on Hoo Mjuu the Torrent. I cannot get a drop for the life of me.

Okay 0/17 on Stray Mary (I hate that ***), 3/15 emp, 1/24 O Kote 2/7 Kyahan, 2/3 on Argus before update 1/5 since update, 2/7 on Leech king, 0/1 Simurgh, LL 4/13, JEJ 1/6, Steelfleece 1/2, bloodtear 0/3, Eastern Shadow 1/7, Western 1/2, Dune Widow 0/6.

I kill a lot of NM's and keep my stats about drop rates for the most part. Argus I had back to back drops and shat my pants, made me rich when charm was selling for 20 mil, and then I quit and gave it all away /cry,

There's two place holders for Stray Mary. One by the hill East of the Craig and one directly south from there. So it's possible to kill two within minutes apart from each other. I've also seen 2 Mary Horns dropped from one Stray Mary. Good luck hunting.

PS. LL have two place holders, too.


That is total horseshit lol, for a start Mary's Horn is rare so you can only hold one therefore it would never drop two! Secondly I know about this NM better than most and can tell you it does not drop 2 horns ever lol. I think TH has a big effect on this drop, I've camped this religously for a few weeks and im 16/50 with TH2, if you know what you are doing its not a bad NM to camp. On top of that you can take materials to synth leather from PH skins and farm seeds between pops. I think I have been seriously lucky on Mary though, I had horn after horn on AH and actually caused them to drop in price for a bit, had 3 in 5 sales at one point lol, check my AH history lol. I have camped Dune Widow (~9%) without TH and it has a simlar drop rate to Marys horn (~12%) and im 2/24 on that.

imo TH helps alot :3

Just because an item is Rare doesn't mean it can't drop two. Porphyrion drops 6 Delkfutt keys and they're all Rare. I've had two Utsusemi: Ni scrolls load from one Orb and they're Rare.

Porphyrion is a multidrop and stated as dropping 6 keys on wiki and its 100% because its required in missions 3-3 and supposed to be killed by a PT (also they are rare/ex), and Utsusemi: Ni can be dropped from 2 different treasure pools which is not the same. I have never heard of Mary dropping 2 horns before, it makes as much sense as having the VE drop 2 emperor pins back when it was a rare drop, or LL dropping 2 pairs of boots, can you think of any NM that drops 2 rare items of the same type (not counting bcnm's because they are treasure pools). Out of 50 claims and 16 drops of the horn I've never seen this happen and nobody else has either. I'm not saying its not possible, just extremely unlikely to be possible lol.
