Editing Hunting common weapons (section)

==Area-specific information==

===Mine ===
Although neither Mine 1 or Mine 2 can roll pattern 4 for attributes naturally on Ultimate difficulty, this can be achieved by playing on [[Anguish]].<ref name=":1">[[Weapon attribute drop tables#Pattern selection|Weapon attribute drop tables]]</ref> However, because enemies on Anguish have increased stats, are more resistant to specials like [[Demon's]], and can only be frozen for 2 seconds instead of the regular 5, hunting common weapons in this area is less efficient.

The following enemies in Mine have weapons as their set drop:

*[[Gillchic|Gilchic]] (30% DAR)
*[[Dubchic]] (30% DAR)
*[[Sinow Beat|Sinow Blue]] (60% DAR)

Due to the high natural Drop Anything Rate of Sinow Blue, players hunting common weapons are advised to play quests with high numbers of this enemy.

Boxes in Mine 1 and Mine 2 have an 8% chance of containing a weapon.<ref name=":0" />

=== Ruins ===
All areas of Ruins have natural access to at least one 4th attribute pattern roll, with Ruins 1 having only 1 chance, Ruins 2 having 2 chances, and Ruins 3 having 3 chances.<ref name=":1" />

The following enemies in Ruins have weapons as their set drop:

*[[Arlan]] (30% DAR)
*[[Claw]] (30% DAR)
*[[Merlan]] (35% DAR)

Boxes in Ruins 1 have an 8% chance of containing a weapon, while boxes in Ruins 2 and Ruins 3 have a 9% chance of containing a weapon.<ref name=":0" />

: Players can spawn an additional 4 claws for each [[Bulclaw]] they split, making Ruins a popular area for hunting common weapons.

=== Central Control Area ===
While only [[Seaside]] and [[Central Control Area]] have natural access to one 4th pattern attribute roll, playing on [[Anguish]] difficulty gives the player all 4th pattern attribute rolls in Jungle East, Mountain, Seaside, and Central Control Area.<ref name=":1" /> However, because enemies on Anguish have increased stats, are more resistant to specials like [[Hell]] and [[Demon's]], and can only be frozen for 2 seconds instead of the regular 5, hunting common weapons in this area is less efficient.

The following enemies in CCA have weapons as their set drop:

*[[Merillia]] (30% DAR)
*[[Gee]] (30% DAR)
*[[Ul Gibbon]] (30% DAR)
*[[Meriltas]] (35% DAR)
*[[Sinow Berill]] (40% DAR)

Boxes in all areas of CCA have a 7% chance of containing a weapon.<ref name=":0" />

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Because Jungle North does not have access to 4th pattern attribute rolls, it is not counted towards the total average weapon drops found in Phantasmal World 1,  Penumbral Surge 3, or Lost FILL CANNON.

=== Seabed ===
Seabed Upper and Lower have natural access to Pattern 4 attribute rolls<ref name=":1" />, and contain a high concentration of enemies with weapons as their set drop. For this reason, Seabed is one of the most popular areas for hunting common weapons. Seabed Upper also features the most efficient way to access a multitude of boxes. More information can be found in the [[box run|box run guide]].

The following enemies in Seabed have weapons as their set drop: 

* [[Recon]] (10% DAR)*
*[[Dolmolm]] (30% DAR)
*[[Sinow Zoa]] (30% DAR)
*[[Dolmdarl]] (35% DAR)
*[[Morfos]] (40% DAR)
*[[Delbiter]] (80% DAR)

Due to the high natural Drop Anything Rate of Delbiters, players hunting common weapons are advised to play quests with high numbers of this enemy.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Due to the low Drop Anything Rate of Recons, most players simply kill the [[Recobox|Recoboxes]] from which they spawn, making the contribution of Recons to the average number of weapons found per quest negligible. They are not counted towards average weapons in each quest in the table below. 

Boxes in all areas of Seabed have an 8% chance of containing a weapon.<ref name=":0" />

=== Control Tower ===
Control Tower naturally rolls only 4th pattern attributes when dropping weapons<ref name=":1" />, but has a low concentration of enemies with weapons as their set drop. For this reason, Control Tower is less efficient for players looking to hunt commons weapons with high hit.

The following enemies in Control Tower have weapons as their set drop:

*[[Recon]] (10 DAR)*
*[[Ill Gill]] (40 DAR)
*[[Delbiter]] (80 DAR)

Due to the high natural Drop Anything Rate of Delbiters, players hunting common weapons are advised to play quests with high numbers of this enemy.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Due to the low Drop Anything Rate of Recons, most players simply kill the [[Recobox|Recoboxes]] from which they spawn, making the contribution of Recons to the average number of weapons found per quest negligible. They are not counted towards average weapons in each quest in the table below.

=== Crater ===
While no area in Crater has natural access to 4th pattern attribute rolls, [[Crater North]] and [[Crater Interior]] gain access to 4th pattern attribute rolls when playing on [[Anguish]].<ref name=":1" /> Crater East, Crater West, and Crater South cannot access the 4th pattern attribute rolls under any circumstance. Despite having numerous enemies with weapons as their set drop, the numbers of each of these enemies that appear per quest is lower than other areas. In addition, enemies on Anguish are more resistant to specials like [[Hell]] and [[Demon's]], and can only be frozen for 2 seconds instead of the regular 5. Therefore, hunting common weapons in this area is less efficient.

The following enemies in Crater have weapons as their set drop: 

*[[Boota]] (30 DAR)
*[[Ze Boota]] (38 DAR)
*[[Astark]] (85 DAR)
*[[Dorphon]] (80 DAR)
*[[Pazuzu]] (100 DAR)*
*[[Dorphon Eclair]] (100 DAR)*

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Due to the unlikely probability of sighting rare monsters such as Pazuzu and Dorphon Eclair and considering their naturally high Rare Drop Rate (RDR), they contribute minimally towards average numbers of common weapons found per run. They are not counted towards the average weapons found per quest in the table below.

Boxes in all areas of Crater have a 7% chance of dropping a weapon.<ref name=":0" />

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Because Crater East does not have access to 4th pattern attribute rolls,<ref name=":1" /> it is not counted towards the total average weapon drops found in the quest Lost BERSERK BATON.

=== Subterranean Desert ===
Similar to Ruins, all areas of Subterranean Desert have natural access to at least one 4th attribute pattern roll, with Desert 1 having only 1 chance, Desert 2 having 2 chances, and Desert 3 having 3 chances.<ref name=":1" /> Despite this, Desert contains only 3 enemies capable of dropping common weapons, and one of those is a rare enemy. For this reason, Desert is generally less efficient than other areas for hunting high hit common weapons.

The following enemies in Desert have weapons as their set drop:

* [[Goran]] (30 DAR)
*[[Pyro Goran]] (35 DAR)
*[[Pazuzu]] (100 DAR)*

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Due to the unlikely probability of sighting a Pazuzu, and considering its naturally high Rare Drop Rate (RDR), it contributes minimally towards average numbers of common weapons found per run. They are not counted towards the average weapons found per quest in the table below.

Boxes in Desert 1 have a 7% chance of containing a weapon, while boxes in Desert 2 and Desert 3 have an 8% chance of containing a weapon.<ref name=":0" />
