Without cheatin, it took me 9 hours of sittin in that room, before i finally got a pink tail. Used every alarm I had, and just moved in and out of the square to fight them. I hate that room. From now on, if i want that armor. I'll hack my save state usin my hex editor. Great armor, takes FAR to long to get.

of course u realise 2 finish the job u must get 4 more so every character has some adamant armour. how long would that take u think?

[Flying Mullet]

I'm gonna give an estimate of another 36 hours.

[aeris2001x2]

thats a rather optimistic estimate dont u think? lol.

I'm a glass half-full kind of guy.

[Dragoon_Kain]

honestly, being as i had no more alarms? it prolly would have taken another 60 to 100 hours to get all of them adamant armor. but since i have never tried to get 4 pink tails. i dunno

no. each enemy has a defined probability to drop an item. Those probabilities are:
0% (like most bosses and some enemies)
5% (like most enemies)
25% (looks like only Horseman has it)
100% (like Dr.Lugae to give a Tower Key at the end of the fight)

If the enemy did drop something, the game follows the link to the list of ItemDrops, where a set of four items it given. The probabilities for each different items were given in my previous post.

Hope my reply was interesting ^-^

ps. btw, it's Zyrthofar, not Zrythofar

Sorry about the spelling, I was dumb and was going back and forth between the "Reply to Thread" page and the page with all the posts in the same browser window.

So, the horseman are the only enemies with a higher chance of dropping an item, except for Lugae who needs to drop the key. Good to know.
