So has Mug ever been detailed?

I'm curious as to the limitations of it. Like if it works similar to Treasure Hunter in FFXI in allowing for an additional roll of RNG for mob drops. Not to mention if it's applicable to equipment and misc items from dungeon/raid drops. This including if it would increase the likelihood of rare bonus chests, like from ST. I'm willing to bet that it is heavily restricted as to when and where it can actually be applied, but I guess a little clarity on the matter would be nice.

I'd prefer if it was a short duration debuff, that if target died while debuff was up, it would have a greater chance to drop items. Can probably count on both my hands the times I've had the killing blow with mercy stroke while in a party.

How are we supposed to know if its not released yet?

Because sometimes things are detailed in advance of being released.

That's the whole question...

The answer is no btw OP :)

Says in the notes, needs to be the killing blow.

it's probably just going to work for trash mobs, that actually drop something. I'd use it for rare drops, like night milk, apkallu eggs, etc.

I prefer to use my retainer for those mats, 10 guaranteed every 40 min for 1 venture token.

"K guys, the primal is almost dead. Stop damage and let me kill it so someone can get a mount".

*Ninja uses Mug*

"Crap, didn't kill it. No worries guys, just need to wait 5 minutes and I can try again. \o/"

Decent odds of getting 10 HQ in one batch too. Night milk is a bit of a waste to use ventures on unless you really need the HQ though. Been able to buy it from npcs for awhile now

I assume it only works on items that actually drop from monsters. A treasure chest doesn't "drop" from a monster. It's a reward for defeating something or already placed , it has absolutely nothing to do with the monster itself.

Mug will probably work for, Furnishing mats, normal items such as snurble tufts , anything a monster can actually "drop".

Kinda goes without saying, I only send my retainers out for mats that are usually over farmed or a pita to get, such as apkallu eggs/down, fullmoon sardines, various animal hides, etc.

That's exactly why I'm assuming it'll be heavily restricted. Be it that it doesn't apply to dungeons/raids in general or that it's next to useless in that it only applies to very specific low level drops.

I was referring mostly to the uncommon bonus chests that can appear, like with ST and the Onion Knight or gem chest. I'm assuming that its appearance is tied in with RNG upon the defeat of the last boss, like any traditional mob drop, instead of it being tied to something else.

Let's try it on T5 or T9 boss!

this is just me, but i would think it is limited to mobs that drop items to begin with, not chests.
Delivers an attack with a potency of 140.
Additional Effect: Increases the amount of items dropped by target if Mug is the finishing blow.

which means more crafting materials for everyone from primals and maybe an opo-opo minion.

Do u think them nin bots will happen? Cuz i hope not cuz all this material drops/ rare stuff seems a bit too much.

RNG based on winning the fight. Nothing to do with the monster.

Treasure Chests are dropped and loot is randomized at the end of a fight. These things are static, the loot table comes from the dungeon itself not the monster you defeat. Monsters do have their own loot tables of different items, but they range from gil to crafting materials and other misc. items.

As long as it works better than Fargo's 'Pillage' ability, I'm good with it.
