How amazing it is to get two 1% Eyeballs from Minotaurs when I'm hunting the 5% Muscle Belt III.

By the way, all this silly cheating I've been doing during this replay taught me that you REALLY don't need to upgrade your weapons or armor whenever you can, if all they do is add a bit more of attack or something. Those extra few points don't mean shit, and actually most of the effects that change from one to another are pretty much unnoticeable as well... I believe the only ones that really change something are most of Sakuya's two-handed swords and Nitori's gun that can slay transcendents (so you can kill squids more easily).

Anyway, for anyone starting on this - this blabbering doesn't mean you should completely avoid making more character-specific gear either, since you get 10 of each material from chests in the main game, 2 more from chests in the expansion, and pretty much every monster has a tiny chance to drop a character-specific material, so by the end of it you will most likely find one or two. The basic materials have a somewhat okay chance to drop even without the drop patch, hovering around 5%, plenty of monsters drop them and you get around 10 of them from chests, so they aren't that much of a problem either. Remember that the wiki has pretty much all synthesis recipes for you, so you can plan what you want to make during your playthrough.
