In order to hunt common weapons with high hit percentage, it is recommended to hunt in areas that provide the best [[Weapon attribute drop tables#Pattern selection|pattern selection]] for each attribute roll, because pattern 4 has a greatly increased rate at which attribute values between 50-90% are rolled compared with other patterns, and is the only pattern capable of finding weapons with 90% or higher on a given attribute if the weapon is untekked. | In order to hunt common weapons with high hit percentage, it is recommended to hunt in areas that provide the best [[Weapon attribute drop tables#Pattern selection|pattern selection]] for each attribute roll, because pattern 4 has a greatly increased rate at which attribute values between 50-90% are rolled compared with other patterns, and is the only pattern capable of finding weapons with 90% or higher on a given attribute if the weapon is untekked. | ||

Most item boxes have a chance of dropping a weapon on ultimate difficulty from 6-9% depending on the area.<ref name=":0">[[Item box#Item box drop tables|Item box]]</ref> However, certain item boxes are set to drop specific items (such as [[Moon Atomizer|Moon Atomizers]] in [[Phantasmal World 2]]) and therefore cannot drop weapons. After killing a boss, there are often a certain number of boxes that are guaranteed to contain weapons. Though often associated with "Boss rush" quests, certain item boxes may be designated to drop weapons outside of the boss area in certain quests, such as in the Endless Nightmare series. On the other hand, certain quests containing a boss such as [[Lost HELL PALLASCH]] do not spawn any boxes after defeating the boss. | |||

Each time an enemy is defeated, the game rolls to determine whether an item will drop, and if so, what that item will be in the following order: | Each time an enemy is defeated, the game rolls to determine whether an item will drop, and if so, what that item will be in the following order: | ||

Therefore, if an enemy that could drop a common weapon drops its designated rare item, it loses out on a 1/3 chance of dropping a weapon. Because event drops and Music disks are rolled prior to DAR, they are less likely to nullify the chance for a weapon to drop. | Therefore, if an enemy that could drop a common weapon drops its designated rare item, it loses out on a 1/3 chance of dropping a weapon.
